With Mother Nature teasing of Spring’s arrival, I wanted to bake something that made me think of Spring. Not necessarily Easter, but Spring…like baby chicks, coconut nests and gooey filled chocolate eggs. My first idea was to use the Russell Stover coconut nests to top cupcakes, however when I went shopping I discovered their coconut…
Sweet of the Week #12, Strawberry Mint Cupcakes with Mendy
Wow–it’s been a crazy couple of baking weeks around here! I got a new oven and had my first absolute baking disaster of the year. I am not telling you about the recipe, because I don’t think it is the fault of the recipe, more the fault of an inexperienced convection baker. I’m back on…
Happy National Corndog Day!
Yep, another “not a sweet” post from me…but this one for good reason, really! Today is National Corndog Day. When I stopped eating gluten, I didn’t think I would ever again have fried mozzarella sticks, onion rings or a corndog. I was really sad about the corndog. It has always been a challenge to have…
Sweet of the Week #11, Irish Cupcakes with Eileen
This week I made two flavors of cupcakes to celebrate St. Patrick’s Day. The first is a Green Velvet Cupcake with Irish Cream Cheese Frosting. I adapted a recipe from Stefani at Cupcake Project. Thanks, Stefani for compiling this great list of credits: Stefani got the recipe from Sarah of Daily Nibbles. Sarah tried three…
Happy National Corn Dog Day!
It is not by coincidence that the 52 Foods on a Stick blog went live today. Today, March 20th, 2010 is National CornDog Day. What a perfect way to celebrate foods on a stick AND a fun new 52 adventure. The corndog establishment I have enjoyed the most is the Cozy Dog Drive In in…
Welcome to 52 Foods on a Stick
Welcome to the latest installment in my 52 adventures. In 2009, I visited 52 donut shops, one a week for a year, the 52 Donut project. In 2010, I have been baking a gluten-free sweet treat and sharing it with a different friend each week, the 52 Sweets projects. I enjoy blogging about an annual…
Sweet of the Week #10, Lazy Samoas with Janey
I was never a Girl Scout and not a huge fan of Girl Scout Cookies, except for Thin Mints and Samoas. I realized when I saw the little cuties selling cookies in the grocery store lobby how much I missed those cookies and wanted to try making my own. Over the Summer while in Denver,…
Sweet of the Week #9, Raw Vegan Cheesecake with Mandy
This week’s sweet is Raw Vegan Cheesecake with a berry topping. I am not vegan and failed miserably at my one attempt to eat raw for a full day, but am in love with this cheesecake. I first tried raw cheesecake at the Chicago Diner and couldn’t believe it was non-dairy and did not contain…
Sweet of the Week #8, Margarita Cupcakes with Sheila
February 22nd was National Margarita Day, which found me at the bar of a tiny Mexican restaurant reminiscing with my friend Sheila about good times and margaritas. I wanted to find a way to incorporate margaritas into a sweet treat and cupcakes immediately came to mind. Baking with tequila sounded like fun or at least…
A Sweet Education
Today I attended a Gluten-Free Desserts class at the Culinary Center of Kansas City. The class was taught by Chef Danica Pollard, head pastry chef at Lidia’s Kansas City. I know this is twice in a week I’ve veered off course on this blog, sharing information outside of my Sweet-a-Week, but this class was so…
