Inspired by Orangette's recipe (and an episode of Cupcake Wars watched while ellipticizing), I decided to try out cupcakes for a picnic on Saturday. Chocolate cupcakes injected with Raspberry-Key Lime jam, topped with Tiffany's-blue vanilla frosting. (I intended to make the chocolate ganache, but neglected to buy an important ingredient - the chocolate.) This photo is from the test batch. And the test batch results are in: this picnic is going to have some mighty tasty cupcakes!!
Success has given me wings, and I'm now going to try making Chai Cupcakes. Welcome to my personal cupcake craze. Radical!
YUM! I want to have another picnic at the Vanderbilt estate and I want to dress up in Pride and predjudice or Downton Abbey period costumes. I think that would be so fun!
ReplyDeleteOh, and take pictures of course!
what about taking it one step farther: table and tablecloths, forks, cups, napkins and . . . CUPCAKES!
