So, I never really was a joke teller -- but I do like to try. Anyway, strep throat took over my immune system this week as I was trying to prepare for our annual Christmas Party. By Saturday, I was doing my best to make the Joan Rivers-like rasp in my voice sound sexy-- it didn't work.
Anyway, this week I decided to pull out the fondant and the food coloring again and make some Christmas Cupcakes for a Christmas party that Ted and I had on Saturday. These cupcakes were essentially a spice cake made with flour, baking powder, cinnamon, butter, light brown sugar, eggs, almond extract, ground almonds, and a little bit of sherry to top it off for the holidays. They were extremely tasty, but i made too many of them, so for some I followed the recipe and created holly-ed fondant icing, and for others I just made a traditional butter cream.
Here is the book's picture:
And here are my cupcakes in a festive Christmas Tree cupcake holder:
Sigh- Until then.
