Yesterday several people searched the web for “Satan Cupcakes” and landed on my blog.
I had to let that sink in for a second. I mean, I know my cooking isn’t the greatest. I’ve screwed up Pillsbury slice & bake cookies, but Satan cupcakes, really?
The kids love my cupcakes, but I know that’s not saying much. Give a kid enough sugar and he’ll like anything.
Then I had to ponder the idea that someone knew just what their friend wanted for their birthday – a Satan Cupcake.
It’s not quite my idea of celebrating, but I can kind of understand how they landed on my blog. After all, I’ve had my share of kitchen fires, and just yesterday, I did this.
Microwave your sponge on high for five minutes.
Then walk out of the room.
The germs definitely die.
Linking to Mercy Ink’s Heart & Home link-up. Visit for some fantastic reads. I promise they are not as wonky as mine. 
Oh you always make me laugh, girl! Hope today is a fire-free day
Hilarious. You haven’t experienced the joys of the kitchen until you’ve burned something or set it on fire. Thanks for sharing
Thanks for the chuckle today. I needed it! Oh, and sorry about your sponge.
How in the world do you find out what google searches lead people to your blog? And I don’t remember reading about Satan cupcakes anywhere, but also never heard of microwaving a sponge. I have however, cooked a pizza with the cardboard left on the bottom. Didn’t realize it until I tried to cut it. Gives new meaning to the idea of “tasting like cardboard”.
“Satan cupcakes.” I almost snort-laughed.
Too funny!! I’m sometimes afraid to look at my search terms… Apparently there’s another Auntie Em and she’s not a very nice woman.
Soak the sponge in water with a drop of bleach. Much safer then setting the house on fire with it in the microwave for 5 minutes.
Last week, I discovered why you poke a potato with a fork before baking them. Evidently, I had missed one, and that just so happened to be the one I decided to test to see if they were done…BAM! It exploded all over my oven, my floor, and me.
I enjoyed this most delightful post. A search term that lead someone to my blog was “rotten sour cookie”. That brings to mind two questions: What on my blog triggered that search term and why is someone looking for a sour rotten cookie? Despite that bit of levity, the all time winner is “how do you get a fork out of your garbage disposal”. I do have exprience with this….lots of experience. But I don’t have a recipe for it……not one that’s posted anyway.
Looks like a satan sponge to me…
This cracked me up! I get some weird search terms sending people to my blog, but this beats all! Are they looking for devil’s food cake?
The laughter you are good at bringing it! I frequently microwave my “mini” sponges for one minute. Does the trick much more efficiently than 5.
Well, you see, my thinking tends to go like this…If one minute is good, five minutes has to be great! Ya, not so much.
I have never microwaved a sponge, but I have left a baking sheet in the oven with a piece of parchment paper on it and nearly had it combust, so I feel your pain.
You know, I always leave my oven on after I’m done cooking. It’s a bad habit, but I just forget to turn it off. One of these days, somethings going to be left in that oven when it’s on.
A side of ice cream and I’m sure the kitchen sponge would be delicious
My boyfriend has bought a fire blanket, I’m so careless in the kitchen!
Fi
I could probably use a fire blanket in my kitchen. It’s not uncommon for something to go up in flames.
Hee hee. I wonder if they mean satin cupcakes???
Hmm…never heard of those either. Now I’m gonna have to Google “Satin Cupcakes”.
for the record, I can paint, sew, create like Martha Stewart – well better than her! But when it comes to baking – I am a big fat fail. Should we start a support group for women who can not even microwave a sponge? Good laugh!
Oh, yes! I could definitely use a support group.
Oh my goodness…thanks for making me giggle today. Satan cupcakes and a burnt sponge. Good stuff!
You’re welcome. Happy Friday! Hope this weekend brings you many more giggles.
