It's been a long time since my last post. Most of you know that my oven died a month ago. Died right after the final batch of
Kahlua Man Fudge Cookie Sandwiches...It was a long haul in the decision process and the waiting and hoping for the new stove. Let's just say, I'm at peace now. I can bake all I want, and don't have to stop myself while planning out a new recipe only to have those thoughts dashed as, "No, dummy, you don't have an OVEN!" I hadn't, truthfully, realized until this episode that I was this hooked on baking. Had no idea it's role in my life fully...
So, just to get this rolling again, I will start with the picture of the finished product...Look at these little beauties!
I am perfecting my frosting consistency and technique. I'm just so proud of the presentation, too. And, I'm putting those 1000+ cupcake cups to good use! :)
Folks really liked these babies. As my buddy at work, Karl, stated in his email: "An exquisite balance of texture and flavor all wrapped in a moist and elegant, visually stunning package. The 'cupcake challenge' of achieving harmony between cake and frosting is orchestrated as beautifully as any Beethoven sonata!" We all love Karl. :)
