Quick Update

Oh my god! I cannot believe that I haven't posted anything here since October! Time does pass by fast!

Anyway, I'll just do a quick show and tell of what I've been doing lately and if anyone's interested in a particular recipe, just ask for it.

Carrot-Pumpkin Cupcakes. It's like I'm obsessed with that combination, but these were very different because the had walnuts and coconut and were extremely moist. So moist that they would break apart while eating it. Got the recipe from verybestbaking.com


Chocolate on Chocolate Cupcakes with Pepermint Bark Garnish. I made them for my brother because he's very picky, and almost never eats my cupcakes. They were good, if you are a chocoholic. Got the recipe from A Baker's Field Guide for Cupcakes by Dede Wilson.


Pumpkin and mascarpone pie. It was a good pie, I've had better, but it was good. What made this pie good was the mascarpone whipped cream topping, which would be awesome on top of some cupcakes. I don't remember where I got the recipe, I just have it written down in one of my recipe notebooks.


Butter Pecan Ice Cream. Making ice cream is easy, but not as easy as I thought it would be, but it was totally worth it. It was creamy, rich and full of flavor, the pecans added a salty note to the ice cream. Eating store bought ice cream will never be the same after this ice cream. Got the recipe from http://www.ice-cream-recipes.com

Amish Peach Pie


So, I had some frozen peaches lying around the other day and my fiancee's mom gave me some Pillsbury pie crusts she didn't want, of course, I decided to make a peach pie. Besides cupcakes the dessert I love the most is pie... ok, I lie, I love cheesecake as well, but that's not the point. I went only and found a wonderful recipe for peach pie at iChef that didn't have a pie pastry covering, but something better: a crumb topping. The pie is best when eaten as soon as it cools, because after I put it in the fridge the crumb topping turned soggy in a so-not-appealing-way.
