I've made over 174 cookies and 3 cakes in the past two days...just plain wonderful. The Red Velvet cake has been the most popular this year; I guess because it resembles the spirit of Christmas by being red and white. The oatmeal, raisin, pecan cookie remains to be my best selling cookie.
The next day....
You won't believe that I feel asleep before finishing the paragraphs above (lol). Anyway, I'm about to work on an Italian Creme cake and German Chocolate cupcakes. Today should be a little lighter than the past two days, so I'm on a mission to cook a great dish and create something new!
Ooh....I forgot to tell you all about the cakes that I took to both of my work Christmas parties! So I made a chocolate swirl cheesecake and what was named at the party to be my " Irish Creme coffee cake." The cheesecake wasn't much of an experiment because I just mixed some melted milk chocolate morsels and 1/3 cup of the batter to create the swirl. Now the Irish cream coffee cake was different...imagine a spice cake with a hint of Bailey's Irish Creme, coffee liquor and Creme de Cocoa liqueur. I only added a tablespoon of each and added a little chocolate syrup...(you know I LOVE chocolate, yup, yup)! The icing contained all of the spirits listed above, butter and whipping cream. It came out a little fluffier than I had imagined, which caused it to not want to stick to the cake easy. I managed to get the cake covered in icing and decided to let it refrigerate a little longer than usual. (...sshh... I also poured a little Bailey's on top)...oh goodness it smelled good! I'm going to make it again because I didn't get to take a picture.
Well I hope everyone had wonderful holiday and don't forget to give...YOUR WAY...and enrich someone else's life!
I swear... you are so darn talented!!!
