I admit it; I am a Pinterest junkie! I have been steadily organizing my pantry, making homemade cleaning products, cooking and crafting more regularly than I ever have. This site allows us to dream of future homes and spaces and stare wide-eyed at some of the craziest stuff we wish we would have thought of.
Well, I decided to share one of our cooking creations discovered on Pinterest:
For Chuck's birthday, our oldest daughter, Jenny, suggested a cookie dough crust filled with Oreo and Butterfinger topped with brownie batter and baked. For a girl that doesn't like to cook, she rocked it. This recipe came from the browneyedbaker. We used Ghirardelli chocolate chunks in the dough instead of regular chips. Then used Oreo on one half and mini Butterfinger bars on the other half. I have a toothache just thinking about it.

After baking this sugar coma cake, we took it one step further and frosted it using a cooked frosting recipe from PioneerWoman, tinted it blue and sprinkled with edible glitter, topped with one of Chuck's favorites; Star Trek!
We discovered that a small sliver is more than enough for any sugar junkie. Secondly, it tastes better cold or slightly frozen (the fudgy, chewy brownie was ecstasy) and the cooked frosting was not necessary, but for the sake of it being a birthday cake the cooked frosting recipe was less sweeter than most which was good, though it was full of butter.
Something like this is fun for special occasions and the entire family enjoyed the absurdity of it.
