Having a small kitchen with no dishwasher is a great thing. There is no room for mess when a big project is underway, so the cleanup process is constant and quite rewarding. After baking four different kinds of cupcakes with 3 types of frosting, my kitchen was cleaner than when I started 6 hours previously and sparkling like freshly whitened teeth.
A dear friend has asked me to assist with their wedding cupcakes and yesterday was the big tasting to determine the flavors. The winners? The menu will include Mexican chocolate, roasted peach cake with strawberries and fresh mint, red velvet, carrot cake, chocolate ganache, espresso salt, and lots of cream cheese frosting.
I think I may be more excited than they are– especially since we’re going with mini cupcakes, so there will be a sea of 350 tiny morsels waiting to be snarfed.
I even got to practice making cupcakes in jars, for my lovely sister’s wedding.
Weddings are a beeeeeeautiful thing.
