Slutcakes were the obvious choice. They&#8217;re delicious, and also the name makes a pretty good insult.

(I found that the best-tasting ones had about 95% Jager and 5% cranberry juice. Jagermeister works alarmingly well with red velvet cake.)<\/p>\n<p \/>Bake cupcakes according to the instructions on the box, and allow to cool.<\/p>\n<p \/><i>Frosting:<\/i><br \/>1 1\/2 c sugar<br \/>1\/4 tsp cream of tartar<br \/>1\/3 c peach schnapps<br \/>2 egg whites<br \/>1 tsp clear vanilla extract<\/p>\n<p \/>Place sugar, cream of tartar, peach schnapps, and egg whites in the top of a double boiler*. Beat with a handheld mixer for one minute. Place pan over boiling water and beat constantly on high speed for 7 minutes, at which point your arm will probably have fallen off. (Trust me, I know. But it&#8217;s worth it for perfect 7-minute frosting!)<\/p>\n<p \/>Remove from heat and beat in vanilla. Frost cupcakes while the frosting is still warm, because it sets up quickly as it cools.<\/p>\n<p \/>Enjoy your delicious slutcakes!<\/p>\n<p \/>*I don&#8217;t own a double boiler. That&#8217;s because it&#8217;s easy to improvise: fit a larger glass bowl on top of a medium saucepan with an inch or so of boiling water in it. The most important thing is that the water NOT TOUCH the bottom of the glass bowl, or it&#8217;ll make your frosting grainy.<\/p>\n<p \/>\n<div align=center>&#8211; &#8211; &#8211; &#8211; &#8211; &#8211; &#8211; &#8211; &#8211; &#8211; &#8211;<\/div>\n<p \/>The shackin&#8217; up party (much like the rest of the weekend) was fantastic. We had 20+ people there, a fully-stocked bar (complete with 4 new drinks of Matt&#8217;s devising), a Drinko game (think Plinko from the Price is Right), jello shot salad, plenty of food, and Guitar Hero. We even got to celebrate Marc&#8217;s 29th birthday at midnight. Can somebody check on that dude? I want to be sure he survived the night.<\/p>\n<p \/>I&#8217;m extraordinarily busy, but I&#8217;ll try to stop back before the holiday!<\/p>\n<p \/>Jenni<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>SLUTCAKES!
