Howdy. I know. I've been absent. But, in my defense, I have been busy baking! {smile}. As some of you know, I love baking. (I basically love all forms of creativity.) I had a cupcake order (ok, 2), and a picnic to attend, so why not do it all at once! Bake, bake, and bake some more!
The first order of cupcakes, were my version of a Mexican Hot Chocolate Cupcakes. It's a rich milk chocolate cake with cinnamon and cayenne pepper. A layer of milk chocolate ganache, with a cinnamon whipped topping, and milk chocolate drizzle. They are actually very yummy!
I also had an order for another chocolate cupcake: Luck-Of-The-Irish. A different chocolate treat, but equally delightful! A rich dark chocolate & Guinness cake, with a whipped Irish Cream filling, caramel buttercream frosting, and milk chocolate drizzle.
And then there is pie! Who doesn't love a good, fresh, berry pie at a summer-time picnic/cook-out?
It's a slab pie. [a 'slab' pie is baked in a rimmed cookie sheet, instead of round pie pans.] You can serve a large crowd with a slab pie. And it doesn't take any extra time than making a standard round pie. The flavor of pie? Junk Berry - apple, peach, strawberry, raspberry, blueberry, and blackberry. There is not a top crush. Instead, I did a sour cream topping. It's a bit lighter, and complements the berries beautifully! {smile}.
* the photo labels of: Small {Scale} Sweets, is the name of my baking company. It's not official, yet. But, why not get my unofficial name out there. {smile}.
Enjoy your holiday weekend. And remember to honor those who have sacrificed so much, so we can enjoy our freedoms today.
