Another year flew by and it was time for another dessert party. I never did finish discussing all the recipes from last year yet. I have been neglecting this blog. But onto happier thoughts: desserts! There were some fabulous ones this year. We had an Oscars theme and that was a lot of fun. The starring role was played by desserts. My favorite was the S’mores cupcakes.
The recipes were:
S’mores Cupcakes
graham crackers, chocolate, and toasted marshmallow in cupcake form
Vanilla Crème Brûlée
made to order
Earl Gray Cookies
A spicey, lemony cookie
Banana Caramel Cupcakes
banana flavored cupcakes with a caramel buttercream frosting
Strawberry Trifle
a light cake with strawberries, pastry cream, and whipped cream
Pistachio Macarons
french-style macaroons with pistachio buttercream
Momofuku Milk Bar “Crack Pie”
does not contain crack, does have butter, sugar, and the usual suspects
Mini Chocolate Cupcakes
with caramel buttercream
Chocolate Anise Truffles
Cranberry Almond White Chocolate Truffles
Jalapeño Cornbread Whoopie Pies
with goat cheese / cream cheese filling
I would like to start updating with some of the recipes and thoughts. And maybe even hit some of my backlogged drafts.
Thanks for another great dessert party, Janet. I liked the macaroons and the truffles best.
