#WickedRomanceGIVEAWAY Devil's Pawn and Cupcakes

The goal of this hop is to talk wickedly naught romances. I'm combining a short excerpt from Devil's Pawn with a delicious (and quick!) Halloween cupcake treat from Food Network. Granted, I'm not a huge fan of fondant (it has no taste) bit doing this with a piping bag seems...messy.



Ingredients
  • 1 dozen store-bought, un-iced cupcakes (pumpkin if they have seasonal flavors)
  • 1 can dark chocolate frosting
  • 1 box prepared orange fondant (recommended: Wilton)
Special equipment/ decor:
  • Spatula
  • Rolling pin
  • 2-inch round cutter (or one that is same diameter as the tops of the cupcakes)
  • Small shaped cutters and/or large pastry tips
Directions:
  1. Frost all of the cupcakes with a smooth even layer of the chocolate frosting. 
  2. Wipe off the spatula frequently, and dip it in warm water, if necessary, to get the frosting as smooth as possible.
  3.  Roll out the orange fondant to 1/4-inch thickness. 
  4. Using a round biscuit cutter, cut out 12 rounds from the fondant. 
  5. Using small cutters, cut a jack-o-lantern face of your design in each round. 
  6. Lay the rounds on top of the cupcakes. Arrange the cupcakes on a serving a platter and serve. 
Devil's Pawn: A Hellfire Club Erotique

  
Graham looked at the other man. He seemed perfectly at ease with himself; the candlelight made his dark skin gleam. Shaking his head at his own romanticism, Graham wondered at this man, this foreigner.
  
He’d been perfectly honest when he told Trent he’d watched him and wanted him. In the last weeks he found honesty cleansing—if he was to go to his grave a young man, he wanted to do so with as few falsehoods as possible.
The Club had been abuzz with rumors about the Turk since his arrival, yet Malik Trent had done naught to answer any of their many questions. Though he knew little of Trent, Graham couldn’t help but…hope. A dangerous emotion that, but nonetheless hope did stir within him.
Could this man help?
Studying him through hooded eyes, Graham wondered. He wanted Trent, and it was obvious Trent wanted him as well. But could he trust the Turk?
“I would appreciate your help,” he began, almost surprised at the admission. “However, I don’t wish to see you entangled in this unsavory business.”
“Explain the business to me,” Trent interrupted before Graham could continue.
Loosening his cravat, which he hadn’t tied properly anyway, Graham slowly nodded. No one had actually offered to help. Then again, he hadn’t exactly shouted throughout the Club the reasons for his suddenly licentious behavior in a group filled with lustful abandonment.

  32. When I was a kid, I wanted to be a rock star. Since it was the 80s, I looked more like a member of an 80s hair band than a true rock star. Gotta love the neon colors and the big hair! :)

  43. I loved my Princess Jasmine costume, but the pants turned out to be quite impractical (at least in Florida, maybe up north they would have worked). Didn't matter anyway, after my dad saw it I was no longer allowed to wear it - I don't think he realized that I never threw it out and took it with me after I moved ;)

    Thanks for having the giveaway!
