On Sunday I was asked to sell my cupcakes at a local park to promote an event they are having. I turned them down because in the State of Michigan, you can't sell goods made out of your home. To my surprise, Granholm signed a new Cottage Law last week allowing us to bake, make and prepare foods out of our homes and sell them to direct customers (farmer markets, etc.). You have no idea how excited I was, so the hunt is on for some amazing cupcake flavors.
My favorite cake is chocolate cake, but not any chocolate cake. It has to be my mom's recipe. She also liked to bake, especially for the family, but she soon began taking them to work for birthdays. This cake was her most requested cake and if you ever try it, you will know why. It's not like any other chocolate cake I've tasted, and truthfully, no other chocolate cake compares IMHO. It's rich, it's moist, it's chocolately...everything you want in a chocolate cake. Paired up with the Whimsical Bakehouse Buttercream, this cake is DREAMY!!! I much prefer the WBHBC with this cake as opposed to a crusting buttercream. Of course, I didn't know that until Saturday when I made the WBHBC for the first time. It made this cake taste even more devine!
Unfortunately, this is one recipe I am not allowed to share....maybe someday....but here's a peek at what it looks like. I'll admit, I'm not photographer and the lighting is bad. Maybe someday I'll learn to take great food pictures.
So, for the end of August, I'm thinking of making an Almond Joy Cupcake and a Peanut Butter Cupcake using this chocolate cake recipe. I saw an awesome Pina Colada Cupcake recipe on Beantown Bakery's blog so I think I'm gonna try that one, also. Now I just need 2 more flavors. I need to look through my recipe book. I have so many clippings of recipes that I wanted to try, that I am bound to find something in there that is out of this world.
I told my co-workers to start preparing to be my taste testers next week. Hub just started the Atkinds diet, so I lost my personal at home tester. Kinda bummed because he NEVER steered me wrong.
