Yet Another Cooking Disaster

I really love to cook and bake and I actually consider myself pretty good at it, but I am really having a rough time lately. I think my problem is that Monte can't have any dairy so I am always substituting with either soymilk or goat milk, dairy free sour cream, dairy free cream cheese, etc. This doesn't always work! He was talking about these awesome chocolate cupcakes with a cream filling that his mom always use to make when he was growing up and could have dairy. I got the recipe from her this weekend when we were there and decided to try them out today. After spending two hours of Isabella's precious nap time making them, here's what I opened my oven door to - the "cream" filling in all 36 cupcakes exploded all over in my oven and left huge holes in all the cupcakes! Very frustrating! I so wanted to surprise him when he got home from work but instead he came home to chocolate chip cookies baking in the oven, you can't really mess those up too bad. I'm pretty sure cookies are his favorite food, so he definitely wasn't disappointed.
