"Black and White" theme






I made these for a Black & White Party this weekend. It's hard to get a black frosting- it turns out gray rather than black and doesn't really look to appetizing. I used a milk chocolate ganache topping instead of a dark chocolate one. They turned out really pretty....

Strawberry Shortcake Cupcakes!

This was a total improve for me since I had a whole bunch of vanilla cupcakes left over. It was from a recipe I found for "moist" vanilla cake, but the density was more like a shortcake biscuit rather than a "cupcake. Didn't want them to go to waste so I cut the cupcakes in halves, used some sliced strawberries soaked in honey, and whipped up some whip cream. Piped some white chocolate gananche frosting on top- et Voilà, strawberry shortcake cupcakes.

Tiramisu as a cupcake!






One day, as I was thumbing through the pages of a lovely cucpake book, I found a recipe for a tiramisu cupake. I never thought of the idea of tiramisu as a cupcake but the idea SURE sounded good to me, as I really LOVE tiramisu! It looked beautiful and lucious, with it's multi-layers of cream! Yum, yum!! Soooo, I knew that I would have to try it out! I sure wasn't sorry after tasting this delicious cupcake!
