well after far too many cupcakes - I decided to make something a bit healthier… except that kind of backfires on me.. you see I always eat like one cupcake and give the rest away. However, I can never give muffins away, they just aren’t cute enough. Or perfect enough. Or yum enough.

well i tried to make some super yum cupcakeys for my awesome friend Hong but I had no cocoa… so I tried my best to make do with what random ingredients I had… so I found this recipe on epicurious and modified it a tad. The original recipe calls for 200grams of chocolate all up.

I have been wasting time/self educating myself on all sorts of random things today.. wordpress, css, a bit of study for my Microsoft 50-236 exam, SLR’s, organizing my recipe collection when I think I have made a bit of a discovery…
i think there is some kind of link between baking/cupcake decorating/general awesomeness and being a female software engineer/programmer/real life girl geek. for my proof i bring you the all round greatness of:

well my wonderful husband brought home some dessert the other day from circus cirus
which is this really awesome cafe in mt eden. well its awesomeness in my mind increased 100 times when i tried the ricotta cake with citrusy marscapone on the side (i made up the name for that last bit!)
and it increased again the next night when we returned to get a piece each. so, so good. tastes like heaven. anyway, ever since then I have not been able to get it out of my head so I have been trawling the internet for recipes. why does everyone fail me?! I think I am actually going to have to suck it up and go and ask if they will give me the reciepe. cos this one is good but it does not win… and it needs a biscuit base not a pastry one.
ahhh I finally got around to upgrading my wordpress so I can post again right! first things first…
for my 21st I said i would bake the cake if someone bought me the tin i wanted (hey, saved my folks the cost of buying a cake :P) so of course I requested the new Wilton dimenstions cupcake tin
well the first tricky thing was finding a cake recipe to use. more after the jump… Read the rest of this entry »
