Well, macaroons called for four egg whites and I couldn’t possibly let the yolks go to waste! I searched far and wide for a recipe that called for egg yolks in hopes of finding some deliciously sinful dessert that required four yolks or at least two. Considering I didn’t want the yolks to sit out forever and become infested with salmonella, I quickly gave up searching for recipes on google and just settled on using Recipezaar’s lovely filter.
I don’t know what brilliant person decided that Recipezaar needed a filter, but it was an incredibly genius idea. I tend to go to that site because their filter has so many options that it makes it so easy to find what you’re looking for. All I had to do was search by ingredient (egg yolks) and category (dessert) and VOILA! I found a recipe that I liked. Now this recipe didn’t actually even use as many egg yolks as I liked, but HEY, the picture looked good and all the reviews made me want to try it even more so I caved on this recipe.

I was bored and waiting for the butter for my cupcakes to reach room temperature and, then it hit me. Why not make the dogs some treats to enjoy as well? In my sympathetic, dog loving world it just wouldn’t be fair for everyone to stuff their face with cupcakes while the dogs longingly watch in hopes for one themselves.
I whipped open my laptop and began to search for dog treat recipes on Flickr (I like having images to be able to see what I’m making). I actually found quite a few (listed at the end of this post), but finally chose one by 52 Cupcakes because I actually had all the ingredients for it and it sounded pretty good.

I do not have the pleasure of baking as often as I’d like because my family is often always on some sort of diet. As much as I’d enjoy eating a plate full of cookies or a dozen deliciously unhealthy cupcakes, I’d much rather eat one and share the rest with other people. Luckily, this weekend was father’s day weekend, my father’s birthday, AND my friend’s birthday. That meant my father would be allowed to break his diet and have whatever I baked AND I could give some of the extras to my friend.
So as usual, I went on my almighty quest to find the next type of cupcakes that most appealed to my fancy. With so many amazing types how was I ever going to choose just one? After countless of long and brutal browses through cupcake images on Flickr and many voyages deep into the vicious jungle of baking blogs, my journey was complete! I finally found the cupcakes I wanted to make!
