The last time I posted on here seems like an eternity ago. I read blogs almost daily, and through revealing this fact lately to friends, I realize I might be more alone in this than I realized. Oops, I’m a little bit nerdy. Also while revealing secrets to the World Wide Web, I hoard recipes and design ideas. I am a hoarder. I said it; give me a sitcom and a shrink. It’s a win win for everyone. But back to the point, I realize I follow food blogs, life blogs and travel blogs yet haven’t posted on mine in way too long. Now is the time to get back on it. I plan on giving you all an update weekly. That means I have seven days to come up with something noteworthy, craft, tasty, or funny. Maybe even a withheld [repressed] Peace Corps adventure story if you’re lucky. I think I can do it. I tend to dream big so it won’t be a problem. Also want to keep this short. I substitute taught 1st grade this year, and by that ADD proportion of students, about 75% of my readers have it too. (Diagnosed with it? already offending people…)
So this weeks musing… Blackberry Cab {mini} Cupcakes
I found this recipe in perusing Bakers Royale, a great blog with some delicious looking recipes. This was the first one I’ve tried and was pretty dang impressed. I made some slight adaptations, but over all yummy recipe. [I can share the adaptations if you are truly interested, which you should be!] But the best thing is I had an excuse to be in the kitchen on this fine sunny Sunday…my priorities seemed skewed from my normal sun-loving self.
I warned some friends earlier this week that I would be testing out a new recipe for an upcoming event, and pretty much instantly after a FB photo post I had 2 texts in my inbox that the testers were ready! Never seen an adult lick frosting off a cupcake so fast….
Here are the photos from today’s baking endeavors. This is only a test run, so no pro-tricks coming out to play today. Oh… I’m starting a new business, ready for hire: Batter&Barley. Today I was working out some ideas for the new gig. Also I’m going to pastry school in the fall. Guess I’m trying to make the most memorable year yet?!
almost tie-dye!
Just a little peek into what Batter&Barley is all about!
mmm those looks so good!
