He LOVES Reese's... so when I stumbled upon a picture of a Reese's cake on Pinterest...I just knew that I had to try it out!</span><br /><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Yeah, it was kind of risky trying out a new recipe for his birthday...especially when we were having family over-luckily it was delicious. </span><br /><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">I was a little worried while I was making the cake because the batter was extremely thick. But the texture of the cake is brownie like and dense..and matches perfectly with my homemade peanut butter buttercream frosting. Sometimes I use a creamcheese/peanut butter frosting..either way will work.</span><br /><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">The recipe is from the </span><a href="http://annies-eats.com/2008/07/23/reese%e2%80%99s-cup-chocolate-peanut-butter-cake/"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Annie's Eats</span></a><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"> website, but was posted to pinterest. If you haven't checked out Annie's Eats.. you should stop by.. there are some Pretty AMAZING recipes there. Oh, and if you haven't been on pinterest...holy cow, check it out (</span><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><a href="http://pinterest.com/kelliscakes/">click here</a> to see my boards and follow</span><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">)- I promise you are going to LOVE love love it!!! </span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Ok, back to the cake...here's what ya need:</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">2 cups of flour</span><br /><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">1/2 cup of unsweetened cocoa powder</span><br /><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">1/2 tsp of baking powder</span><br /><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">1/2 tsp of baking soda</span><br /><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">1/2 tsp of salt</span><br /><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">2 stick of unsalted butter (softened)</span><br /><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">1 1/2 cups of regular sugar</span><br /><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">2 large eggs (room temp)</span><br /><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">2 large egg yolks</span><br /><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">1 tsp of vanilla extract</span><br /><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">1 cup of buttermilk (all I had was regular and it worked out fine)</span><br /><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">4 oz bittersweet chocolate, melted and cooled (optional) (oh and I used 3 oz of semi-sweet because it was all that I had)</span><br /><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">1 1/2 - 2 batches of your FAVORITE peanut butter frosting</span><br /><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">miniature reese's cups, halved and some chopped</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Here's what ya need to do for the cake:</span><br /><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Preheat the oven to 350 degrees, butter or spray two 9x2 pans, dust the inside with flour...tap out the excess. (Annie's says to line the bottoms with round parchment paper, go for it if you usually do- I didn't and it worked out just fine)</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">In a medium mixing bowl whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder and soda, and salt. ( I actually sifted mine because sometimes my cocoa powder gets a little clumpy)</span><br /><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Set aside.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">In your mixer, using the paddle attachment, beat the butter on medium speed until soft and creamy. Add the sugar and beat for about 2 minutes, until thoroughly blended into the butter. Add the egg yolks one at a time, beating for one minute after each addition, scraping down the side of the bowl as needed. Beat in vanilla. Reduce mixer speed to low and add the dry ingredients alternately w/ the buttermilk/milk; add the ingredients in 3 additions and the buttermilk in 2 (beginning and ending w/ the dry ingredients) Make sense? </span><br /><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Mix each addition until it is blended into the batter. Scrape down the bowl and add the melted chocolate- fold in with a spatula. Divide batter between the prepared pans. THE BATTER IS really thick.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Bake for about 26-30 minutes. (mine took closer to 30)</span><br /><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Or until springy to touch and cake starts to pull away from the sides of the pans. Transfer to cooling rack to cool for about 5 minutes, then run a knife around the sides of the cakes and unmold them (if you used parchment peel off the liners) Invert and cool to room temp right side up.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">To put the cake together:</span><br /><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Place on cake on your cake board. Frost first layer with the peanut butter frosting. Sprinkle some Reese's if desired. Place second layer on cake and frost the top and outside of the cake with the remaining pb frosting. Decorate the cake with the chopped and halved Reese's!! The more the better!! :)</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">YUMMY!!!</span><br /><a href="javascript:window.print()">Print Page</a><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6434179402486666534-1311693343967212865?l=kelliscakes-sweetdreams.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>kelliscakeshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00887015979705770185noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6434179402486666534.post-71484329224896265132012-01-17T04:08:00.000-08:002012-01-17T04:08:55.404-08:0090th birthday party cakeWhen my Uncle asked me to make the cake for a surprise party that was going to be given for my grandparents...of course I was very excited. They are two of the kindest, most real, honest-loving...<strong><em>live life to the fullest people</em></strong> I know. They have travelled around the world...been everywhere you could ever imagine wanting to go- had <span style="font-size: large;">7 </span>children, started a <em>huge family</em> which consists of more aunts, uncles, and cousins than any one person could dream of having. They created simple family traditions (such as Friday night homemade pizza, family dinners, zeppoli on Christmas eve, initial cookies at Easter, Vermont..just to name a few) that we will all carry with us and share with our children. They have strong beliefs in their faith as well as education. They have given all of us opportunities such as a college education and <em>many many</em> memories of huge family gatherings & good times at the lake---<br />They are perfect examples of living the American dream.<br />They both are Italian Americans. My grandfather came over to America as a young boy and my grandmother was born here. They both spoke Italian first and are both brilliant, loving, good people. <br />Most time spent with my grandparents involve some type of food!! Whether it be a weekly visit, a holiday or shared dinner or even a quick trip to Friendly's for an ice cream sunday- time spent with each of them is always a gift.<br /><br />This year they are both turning 90! <strong>An amazing number</strong>. <br />Here's to many more years of good health, (<em>possibly from juicing..or maybe good genes</em>) and MUCH happiness!<br />I love you both.<br />HAPPY 90th BIRTHDAY MEMA and POPPOP!! xo<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-P4M2jexFKig/TxVjUtiACDI/AAAAAAAAB18/ZYiXrnC9bMQ/s1600/mema%2527s+cake.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" kba="true" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-P4M2jexFKig/TxVjUtiACDI/AAAAAAAAB18/ZYiXrnC9bMQ/s320/mema%2527s+cake.jpg" width="231" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">(vanilla cake top layer has chocolate ganache filling, bottom has chocolate buttercream)</span></div><br /><a href="javascript:window.print()">Print Page</a><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6434179402486666534-7148432922489626513?l=kelliscakes-sweetdreams.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>kelliscakeshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00887015979705770185noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6434179402486666534.post-48111565748494831922011-12-23T03:47:00.000-08:002011-12-23T03:47:39.926-08:00VANILLA CUPCAKE RECIPE...yup another one!Ok, <span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">So I've change my mind AGAIN about my favorite vanilla cupcake recipe...the other recipe I was using has not really been working out for me lately!

At first I thought this idea might be rather disgusting..but during one of our trips to Cape Cod my son (the adventurous foody) decided to try out Chocolate Chili Ice Cream and it became his new favorite flavor.<br />SO I gave it a go and it turned out pretty tastey...lip smacking, <span style="color: red;">fire burning</span> tastey. The combination of the sweet rich chocolate and the chili really works. First you get the chocolatey goodness taste then.. a few seconds later you get that little kick..that spice in the back of your throat. It kind of catches you off guard...and then your lips start burning a little!!! Ha.<br />Ok so I took a classic chocolate frosting recipe, that I use all the time- from which my mom gave me (It's from one of her very old Bon Appetit Magazine's) and kicked it up a major notch in the heat department.<br /><br />Here's what ya need:<br />2 (1 ounce) unsweetnened chocolate baking squares<br />1 (1 ounce) semisweet chocolate baking squares<br />1 cup of butter (unsalted)<br />4 cups of powdered sugar (I use a little more)<br />1/4 cup of unsweetened cocoa<br />1/4 cup of milk<br />2 teaspoon of vanilla (one will work just fine)<br />4 tablespoons of Chili Powder (you might want to start off with 2 or 3 tablespoons and work your way up...depending on how hot you would like this to be)<br /><br />Melt the chocolate squares in the microwave. (I usually put it in for 25 seconds at a time stirring in between- Be CAREFUL the bowl will get hot) Let it cool for about 5-10 minutes.<br />Mix the butter (in your mixer) until creamy. <br />Next add the melted chocolate, sugar, chili powder (*start off small!),cocoa, and vanilla and milk...mix away until you have a nice thick frosting constistancy. *<strong>I would start off with the lower amount of chili powder..maybe 2 tablespoons and work your way up until you get the heat you are looking for</strong>.<br />You can then taste your frosting to see if you would like to add more chili powder. <br /><br />Good Luck..have a glass of milk handy :)<br /><br /><a href="javascript:window.print()">Print Page</a><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6434179402486666534-4213374044148806327?l=kelliscakes-sweetdreams.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>kelliscakeshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00887015979705770185noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6434179402486666534.post-43808845079723899542011-09-05T07:32:00.000-07:002011-09-05T07:38:08.072-07:00Sweet Homemade Granola<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-qBOvEdR4HJo/TmTW58I5aPI/AAAAAAAABz4/ocsxNYNs-cQ/s1600/granola.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-qBOvEdR4HJo/TmTW58I5aPI/AAAAAAAABz4/ocsxNYNs-cQ/s320/granola.jpg" width="240" xaa="true" /></span></a></div><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">I love granola! It has a sweet nuttiness, it's more like a healthy candy for me. I like my granola to have a little crunch to it. But not too crunchy. The perfect granola for me has a semi-crunchy (not painfully crunchy) exterior and soft interior. Does that make sense? Basically, I don't want to break a tooth eating it!!</span><br /><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">I use to make granola all the time. Around the time when my days started to be filled with millions of things, I happen to find a brand at the grocery store that I really enjoyed. EVEN though it is ridiculously expensive I bought it anyway, to "save time".</span><br /><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">When I couldn't find it last week at the store... I decided that I was better off. Why spend $5 on a tiny little bag of granola when I can make it? I made sure to set some time aside for this sweet treat so that I could make a bunch- so that it would last...and by the way it is SO MUCH cheaper!!! However, it didn't last long because everyone at my house can't stop eating it!! That's how good it is! No one seemed to bother with my grocery store granola! </span><br /><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Not only does this disappearing granola taste delish it's pretty healthy too! PLUS I love using local ingredients whenever I can. This recipe happens to call for honey. I was able to use the delicious honey that my husband brought home from a co-worker-- who is beeee a beekeeper (haha!) and own Brown's Honey Bunny Farm in Greenwich. </span><br /><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">The possibilities are endless with this recipe..I think I say that a lot. But it's true. You can add ingredients to this and make it your own! Last week I used this recipe to make sweet granola and peanut butter granola (by switching out a few ingredients). My son & husband are huge fans of the peanut butter granola and I'm head over heels for the sweet granola. (Thank Goodness..I'm not so great at sharing my favorite foods!)</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Here's what ya need:</span><br /><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">2 cups of rolled oats (I used Bob's Red Mill Gluten Free..that's what I had in my cabinet)</span><br /><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">1/4 cup of special k cereal broken up</span><br /><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">1/4 cup of honey</span><br /><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">1/4 cup of dark brown sugar</span><br /><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">1/4 tsp of salt</span><br /><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">1 teaspoon of cinnamon</span><br /><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;">1 1/4 teaspoon of pure vanilla</span><br /><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">3 tablespoons of olive oil (yum)</span><br /><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">1/4 cup of slivered almonds</span><br /><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">handful of shelled pumpkin seeds</span><br /><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">** if you want you can also add: </span><br /><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">handful of semi sweet mini chocolate chips </span><br /><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">handful of dried cranberries</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Preheat your oven to 325 (300 if you have a dark pan) and line a cookie sheet with parchment paper... trust me on this one..parchment is the way to go. Oh, and you probably want to set a little time aside for this one. Maybe a half hour. You will want to be near the oven to turn over the granola and watch it so that it doesn't burn! (I burned a batch yesterday..whoops)</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">First Mix the honey, brown sugar, vanilla and olive oil in a bowl. Mix well make sure all of the sugar is dissolved.</span><br /><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">In a separate bowl mix together the oats, special K, salt and cinnamon.</span><br /><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Next, add the oats to the wet mixture and mix together well. Make sure you coat all of the oats with the mixture. <span style="font-size: x-small;">You are probably going to have to use your hands at some point to make sure the oats are coated well... it will get a little sticky and messy!!</span></span><br /><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Now place your oats onto the cookie sheet. I like mine granola a little clumpy, so I squeeze some of the oats together.</span><br /><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Place in the oven and let cook for 10 mins. </span><br /><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">After ten minutes, take your pan out of the oven and over your granola with a spatula - THEN, add your slivered almonds and pumpkin seeds.</span><br /><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Put back in the oven for 5 minutes. </span><br /><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Then take out of the oven, again. Turn the granola over one more time.</span><br /><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Place back into the oven and let it bake for about 10 more minutes. (keep an eye on it)</span><br /><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Let granola cool completely...(it will be HOT!)</span><br /><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Then mix in the chocolate chips and dried cranberry's.</span><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-GXoeFC9s8s4/TmTYoIRUocI/AAAAAAAAB0A/mIQHZfl5eRE/s1600/granola2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-GXoeFC9s8s4/TmTYoIRUocI/AAAAAAAAB0A/mIQHZfl5eRE/s320/granola2.jpg" width="320" xaa="true" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">SO YUMMY!!

My mom and my grandmother are both two of the best cooks I know. Whether it's a full meal or something sweet, they know exactly what they are doing. It's funny how so many of my childhood memories revolve around food!<br />I remember my grandmother making delicious fresh food, from tomato salad with tomatoes from my grandfather's garden, fresh tomato sauce with beans, eggplant parm, friday night homemade pizza, to fried squash flowers...the list goes on. I remember the phone calls we use to get -- they went a little something like this..."Kelli, I made some zucchini quiche today..." (or whatever she had worked on that day) Which most of time meant, I haven't seen you in a while, so please come visit. My grandparents house was never air conditioned (until recently) --but somehow when you sat down at the table, the room seemed so much cooler than anywhere else on a hot day.<br />I am not sure if this classified as a true quiche. It's more like a combination of an omelet and a quiche. When you take your first bite you will taste the delicious fresh slices of zucchini, the sweet pieces of onion, and the saltiness from the parm. All of the ingredients work so well together..and fill you up like a mini meal. It tastes so good - you'll defintely want another piece! <br />Most people I know use a crust when making their quiche's. This recipe is exactly how my grandmother made it... so it's always been a "quiche" to me. My grandmother has so many recipes, this is one, of a very few, that I have exact measurements for. I can't say that it has been passed down for generations, because it calls for good old Bisquick as an ingredient! That doesn't really matter- what matters is that is tastes really good and brings back good memories of summer treats at her house. <br />This time, I will be bringing a plate to her. <br /><br /><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-onyC4fvjWic/TlDk-Kw7LrI/AAAAAAAABzs/SHHLFr40QdM/s1600/quiche.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; cssfloat: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="150" qaa="true" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-onyC4fvjWic/TlDk-Kw7LrI/AAAAAAAABzs/SHHLFr40QdM/s200/quiche.jpg" width="200" /></a><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-OksDUaJfjEI/TlDlLRXCEJI/AAAAAAAABzw/HPkHAWoafXo/s1600/zucchini.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="200" qaa="true" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-OksDUaJfjEI/TlDlLRXCEJI/AAAAAAAABzw/HPkHAWoafXo/s200/zucchini.jpg" width="150" /></a><br /><span style="font-size: large;">Zucchini Quiche</span>- can't get any easier than this.. and feel free to switch ingredients in and out!! <br /><br />3 cups of zucchini sliced (I used one large zucchini from my garden)<br />1 chopped onion, ("big" is what the recipe says..I used half of a large red onion..she always used white)<br />1 cup of Bisquick<br />4 eggs<br />1/2 cup oil (I use olive)<br />1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese<br />1 tsp parsley <br />1/4 tsp salt and pepper<br /><br />Mix all ingredients. Put in well greased pan (9x9-in the picture I used 10x10 it was a little thinner than what my grandmother makes- but it worked.)<br />Bake in oven at 350 for about 30 minutes.<br /><br />Enjoy!<br /><br /><a href="javascript:window.print()">Print Page</a><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6434179402486666534-3309317698131015951?l=kelliscakes-sweetdreams.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>kelliscakeshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00887015979705770185noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6434179402486666534.post-74232320110130750402011-07-29T04:55:00.000-07:002011-07-29T09:05:03.338-07:00Busy trying out new things!<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Usually before I make a cake...

I wasn't exactly sure how the two would mesh..but it worked out pretty well.</span><br /><br /><br /><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Champagne...sweet & bubbly & always ready for a celebration...I guess you could describe a cuppy that way too!</span><br /><span style="font-family: Verdana;">For this cupcake I chose to make a champagne flavored cake, filled it with my twist on a zesty raspberry compote and topped it with a very sweet champagne frosting...</span><br /><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">(I am sure you could just as easily make this with strawberry compote as well! YUM)</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: Verdana;">Here are all 3 steps:</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: Verdana;">Here's what ya need for the cuppy's:</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: Verdana;">1 1/4 cup plus 2 tbps of all purpose cake flour</span><br /><span style="font-family: Verdana;">1 1/4 cup plus 2 tbps of all purpose (reg) flour (i only use king arthur)</span><br /><span style="font-family: Verdana;">3 tsp of baking powder</span><br /><span style="font-family: Verdana;">1 1/2 cups of sugar</span><br /><span style="font-family: Verdana;">2/3 cup butter</span><br /><span style="font-family: Verdana;">3/4 cup of sweet champagne</span><br /><span style="font-family: Verdana;">6 egg whites</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: Verdana;">Preheat oven to 350 degrees...get your cupcake pan ready..(put those liners in) This makes about 18-20 depending on how big your liners are.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: Verdana;">First things first, in a clean bowl beat your egg whites until stiff peaks form. Cover and put in fridge.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: Verdana;">In a large bowl cream butter and sugar until fluffy. (You want this to be REALLY light & FLUFFY..let it go) </span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: Verdana;">Sift your flour,salt, & baking powder together.</span><br /><span style="font-family: Verdana;">Add your flour mixture to the butter alternating w/ your sweet bubbly champagne. </span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: Verdana;">Lastly, take about a 1/4 of your egg whites and blend into the batter to lighten it up a bit. Then go ahead and fold the rest of the egg whites in.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: Verdana;">Fill your cuppy liners about 2/3 the way full and they are ready to bake!!!</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: Verdana;">Bake for about 20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean!</span><br /><br /><br /><span style="font-family: Verdana;">Frosting:</span><br /><span style="font-family: Verdana;">1 cup of butter (room temp)</span><br /><span style="font-family: Verdana;">1/2 teaspoon of pure vanilla extract</span><br /><span style="font-family: Verdana;">4 or 5 tablespoons of champagne (start off w/ 4 --room temp also)</span><br /><span style="font-family: Verdana;">3 1/2 -4 cups of powdered sugar</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: Verdana;">Beat butter and half of the sugar until fluffy. Next add vanilla and then champagne slowly... you don't want an explosion...gradually add the rest of the sugar. <em>You may want more or less sugar or champagne..depending on your taste and how you like the consistency of your frosting</em>.</span><br /><br /><br /><span style="font-family: Verdana;">Raspberry Compote:</span><br /><span style="font-family: Verdana;">1 cup of frozen raspberries</span><br /><span style="font-family: Verdana;">2 tablspoosn of sugar</span><br /><span style="font-family: Verdana;">1 tablespoon of lemoncillo</span><br /><span style="font-family: Verdana;">1 tablespoon of cornstarch whisked into a tablespoon of water</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: Verdana;">I know it sounds crazy..but I ran out of lemon juice... and the next best thing was the homemade lemoncillo I had hanging around! It worked for me! If you don't have it..just use a tablespoon of lemon juice and you will be good to go!</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: Verdana;">Heat the raspberries in a small pan over low heat.</span><br /><span style="font-family: Verdana;">Add the lemoncillo and sugar.</span><br /><span style="font-family: Verdana;">Once the sugar has mixed in and dissolved and the raspberries are thawed out, turn up the heat and cook until it begins to bubble.</span><br /><span style="font-family: Verdana;">Make sure to keep stirring so it does not stick to the bottom of the pan.</span><br /><span style="font-family: Verdana;">Once it starts to bubble stir in the cornstarch and water mixture.</span><br /><span style="font-family: Verdana;">Remove from heat and let cool.</span><br /><span style="font-family: Verdana;">(mine seemed to be a bit seedy..which worked out fine..but the second time around I strained the mixture before putting them into the cuppy's)</span><br /><br /><br /><span style="font-family: Verdana;">Enjoy!!</span><br /><a href="javascript:window.print()">Print Page</a><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6434179402486666534-341232240934107056?l=kelliscakes-sweetdreams.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>kelliscakeshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00887015979705770185noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6434179402486666534.post-31655781811404380462011-03-21T16:24:00.000-07:002011-03-21T16:24:48.164-07:00Vanilla Cupcake Recipe<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Here is another one of the vanilla cupcake recipes that I LOVE to use. It's quite simple!<br />All you need are a few easy ingredients and you are ready to go! I stumbled upon this while searching for a great vanilla cupcake recipe~ I am pretty sure this is from magnolia...</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><strong>Here's what ya need:</strong></span><br /><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">4 large eggs (room temp)</span><br /><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">2 cups of granulated sugar</span><br /><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">1 1/2 cups of self rising cake flour</span><br /><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">1 1/4 cups of all purpose flour ( I love king arthur brand!)</span><br /><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">2 sticks of unsalted butter</span><br /><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">1 cup of millk</span><br /><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">I found that these rise up and get a great dome on top. They are a little denser than a box mix, as most "real" homemade cakes are---but they taste delicious!!</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><strong>Here's how to make them:</strong></span><br /><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Cream butter and sugar..but not too much. Add the eggs, scraping down the sides after each egg.</span><br /><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Mix the flours together (sift if you would like, sometimes I just use a whisk)</span><br /><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Add the flour and milk alternating in 3 batches. </span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Fill your cupcake liners 2/3 of the way..then bake for 20 -25 minutes at 350 degrees or until a toothpick comes out clean. If you touch the top of the cupcake it should spring back... let them cool!</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Enjoy!</span><br /><br /><a href="javascript:window.print()">Print Page</a><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6434179402486666534-3165578181140438046?l=kelliscakes-sweetdreams.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>kelliscakeshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00887015979705770185noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6434179402486666534.post-74445637455491774362011-03-02T13:50:00.000-08:002011-03-02T13:50:04.485-08:00Short version of shamrock cuppy's<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-1VJJ3X1pwow/TW4r6LvquWI/AAAAAAAABqo/nxpvBGik4ow/s1600/P1170346.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" l6="true" src="https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-1VJJ3X1pwow/TW4r6LvquWI/AAAAAAAABqo/nxpvBGik4ow/s320/P1170346.JPG" width="240" /></a></div><br /><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Ok... if you love these cuppy's as much as I do...then You are going to LOVE that they are SUPER easy to make, even more. You are going to want to make these babies for everyone!!</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;"><strong><em><span style="color: #38761d;">Here's the short version</span></em></strong>..because I didn't take pictures during the baking process-- this time-- next batch I will update this post!</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;">Make your favorite vanilla cupcake batter.</span><br /><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;">Put about 1/3 in a separate bowl and add green food coloring. (Mix it, of course!)</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;">Next, pour your green batter into an 8x8 greased baking pan. Cook cake...like would cook any cake...to test: insert a toothpick if it comes out clean- it's done.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;">Now, the green cake needs to cool! <em><span style="color: #38761d;">I have to be honest and tell you that I could NOT wait..so I stuck mine in the freezer..which was not really a good idea. Had I been patient and waited for it to cool..I would have gotten more shamrocks out of my cake. <strong>The fridge is probably a better idea-- if you can't wait!!</strong></span></em></span><br /><strong><br /></strong><br /><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;">Once your green cake has cooled-- flip it out of the pan onto a cutting board. </span><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;">Next,take a mini shamrock cookie cutter and cut shamrock's out of your cake. You will need at least 12.<em>(they need to be small enough so when your cupcakes cook- the batter will cook over the shamrock...or the top of your shamrock will toast in the oven)</em> </span><br /><br /><span style="color: #38761d; font-family: Trebuchet MS;"><strong>Line your cupcake tin...</strong></span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;">Take the regular cake batter and just coat the bottom of each liner. Place a shamrock, facing front, in each cupcake liner. Push gently, to make sure the shamrock is in there good. Now fill your cupcake liner to about 2/3 full <span style="color: #38761d;">AND BAKE!</span></span><br /><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;"><em>** make sure you keep the shamrocks facing front-- when you bake, when you take them out of the oven, and when you cool...because once they are cooked you will not be able to see the shamrock inside. You will want to cut across the shamrock cupcake dividing it so that you have a print on either side of the cupcake. If you cut the wrong way, you will just cut the shamrock in half down it's center.</em></span><br /><br /><br /><br /><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;">That's about it! I will come back to this and post picture's and explain a little better soon!</span><br /><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;">Post your comments!</span><br /><br /><br /><br /><a href="javascript:window.print()">Print Page</a><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6434179402486666534-7444563745549177436?l=kelliscakes-sweetdreams.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>kelliscakeshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00887015979705770185noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6434179402486666534.post-34026653449933480282011-03-01T10:10:00.000-08:002011-03-01T12:42:28.474-08:00Hey it's March!!<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">In honor of March finally arriving...and to keep the creativity flowing...throughout the entire week...(I"ll be making a TON of cupcakes this weekend!)

The combination of chocolate and peanut butter are his absolute favorite!! <br />One night...while I was trying to fall asleep-- ideas of different peanut butter creations floated through my head. It may sound strange..but sometimes when I can't sleep I have these crazy thoughts of different ways to make sweet treats.. little bubble thoughts..images of different way to put sweet treats together to make taste bud magic..haunt me!!! haha.</span></div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">I was thinking about my husband's favorite treats... gooey peanut butter cookies, chocolate peanut butter cake or cupcakes... and peanut butter frosting...peanut butter cups..... and then it hit me... what about a brownie cupcake...filled with his favorite peanut butter cookie dough...a little schmear (haha love inventing words) of chocolate ganache...and that insane peanut butter frosting***!!!! Chocolate peanut butter heaven!! </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_9ZoK_kSJFQA/TT2MMrifW-I/AAAAAAAABmw/EGf9ADXhcwI/s1600/P1170036-1.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" s5="true" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_9ZoK_kSJFQA/TT2MMrifW-I/AAAAAAAABmw/EGf9ADXhcwI/s320/P1170036-1.JPG" width="264" /></a></div><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">This is the "semi-homemade" version of the recipe! I made it with my own recipes..but this might speed the process up a bit for ya!</span><br /><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;">Here's what ya need:</span><br /><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;">PB cookie dough (they have these in the cake mix section of your grocery store)</span><br /><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;">PB frosting (I'll attach a great recipe)</span><br /><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;">1 brownie mix ( your favorite brownies... grab one that has the chocolate glaze to put on top.. I know Ghiradelli has one.)</span><br /><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">1 cupcake pan that hold 12 cuppy's</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><strong>Preheat your oven to about 350 degrees. (less if you are using a dark pan)</strong></span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Make your peanut butter cookie dough and set in the fridge for about 10 mins.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"></span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><span style="color: magenta;"> </span>Follow the step on your brownie mix, but make sure you go for the fluffy brownie version. I believe you add an extra egg and a little less water.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Next, take your cookie dough out of the fridge and roll into about 1 inch balls. Place them on a cookie sheet and put in freezer for about 5-10 minutes.</span><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_9ZoK_kSJFQA/TT2V96bpFoI/AAAAAAAABnw/lwcLX2rR1uw/s1600/P1170028.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" s5="true" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_9ZoK_kSJFQA/TT2V96bpFoI/AAAAAAAABnw/lwcLX2rR1uw/s320/P1170028.JPG" width="240" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><br /><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"></span><br /><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Put cupcake liners in your cupcake pan and fill liners with brownie batter just like you would a regular cupcake..I did mine about a little over 1/2 full.

I seriously can't get enough of it. I have found that if I am making a cake or cuppy's that call for chocolate ganache...my scale isn't really that nice to me that week. AND with this cold weather going on here in CT, I haven't really been able to get outside to run as much as I would like to, or as much as I need to. My treadmill has proven to be a tiny bit boring these days. Anyway... here's a couple of recipes for ganache that I like to use!</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS; font-size: large;">Chocolate Ganache:</span><br /><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;">1 cup of heavy cream</span><br /><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;">12 ounces of good bittersweet chocolate</span><br /><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;">2 tablespoons of light corn syrup</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;">In a saucepan heat the cream until right before it's going to boil, then take off heat. Add broken up chocolate and corn syrup and stir. WHALA... you have ganache... you may want to let it cool for a few minutes.. it will be a little runny. Sometimes I just pour it over the cake and let it run.. sometimes I let it cool and then frost my cake with it. IF YOU want more of a frosting consistency..then allow it to cool for a few minutes... then you can whip it with your mixer until it becomes fluffier.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;"><span style="font-size: large;">Chocolate Ganache</span> </span><br /><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">12 oz. semi-sweet chocolate ( you can use morsels, bar..whatever you have sometimes I find the morsels easier to use)</span><br /><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">3/4 cup heavy whipping cream</span><br /><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">6 Tbsp butter </span><br /><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">In a small saucepan, heat cream and butter until just before it's about to boil</span><br /><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Pour over the chocolate. </span><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Let this sit for a couple of minutes then dip your cuppy's or pour over (or frost) your cake. You can also wait until it cools off just a little but more and whip this with your mixer for a "frosting" like consistency.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">ENJOY!</span><br /><br /><br /><br /><a href="javascript:window.print()">Print Page</a><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6434179402486666534-4017162530514040425?l=kelliscakes-sweetdreams.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>kelliscakeshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00887015979705770185noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6434179402486666534.post-44394677567615968472011-01-09T18:54:00.000-08:002011-01-09T19:20:47.970-08:00Vanilla Cake Recipe<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">For the longest time I have been using this <a href="http://smittenkitchen.com/2009/07/best-birthday-cake/">vanilla cake</a> recipe. I thought the vanilla cake from the smitten kitchen's website was the ultimate cake. It <i>is</i> a "denser" cake. I like to use it on cakes that I am going to be stacking into tiers. AND honestly, I love the texture and taste of it. It's buttery...vanilla-y and moist! </span><br /><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">I decided to look for another vanilla cake recipe to try out, maybe find one that was a little "fluffier". As I took out my cake flour box one day, I noticed a recipe on the back of the box. PERFECT timing! I tried it out...and I think it's MAGICAL! It's light, moist, and yes a little denser than any cake you will get out of a box! It has a great flavor to it. Try it out..see what you think... and post right here & let me know!</span><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_9ZoK_kSJFQA/TSpzBHIq4yI/AAAAAAAABj4/FHhTigdAVvE/s1600/P1160808.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_9ZoK_kSJFQA/TSpzBHIq4yI/AAAAAAAABj4/FHhTigdAVvE/s320/P1160808.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><br /><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><br /><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">Vanilla Cake</span> (adapted from king <leo_highlight id="leoHighlights_Underline_0" leohighlights_keywords="arthur" leohighlights_underline="true" leohighlights_url_bottom="http%3A//shortcuts.thebrowserhighlighter.com/leonardo/plugin/highlights/3_2/tbh_highlightsBottom.jsp?keywords%3Darthur%26domain%3Dwww.blogger.com" leohighlights_url_top="http%3A//shortcuts.thebrowserhighlighter.com/leonardo/plugin/highlights/3_2/tbh_highlightsTop.jsp?keywords%3Darthur%26domain%3Dwww.blogger.com" onclick="leoHighlightsHandleClick('leoHighlights_Underline_0')" onmouseout="leoHighlightsHandleMouseOut('leoHighlights_Underline_0')" onmouseover="leoHighlightsHandleMouseOver('leoHighlights_Underline_0')" style="-moz-background-clip: border; -moz-background-inline-policy: continuous; -moz-background-origin: padding; background: transparent none repeat scroll 0% 50%; border-bottom: 2px solid rgb(255, 255, 150); cursor: pointer; display: inline;">arthur</leo_highlight>)</span><br /><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Here's what ya need:</span><br /><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">2 3/4 cups of cake flour ( I prefer king <leo_highlight id="leoHighlights_Underline_1" leohighlights_keywords="arthur" leohighlights_underline="true" leohighlights_url_bottom="http%3A//shortcuts.thebrowserhighlighter.com/leonardo/plugin/highlights/3_2/tbh_highlightsBottom.jsp?keywords%3Darthur%26domain%3Dwww.blogger.com" leohighlights_url_top="http%3A//shortcuts.thebrowserhighlighter.com/leonardo/plugin/highlights/3_2/tbh_highlightsTop.jsp?keywords%3Darthur%26domain%3Dwww.blogger.com" onclick="leoHighlightsHandleClick('leoHighlights_Underline_1')" onmouseout="leoHighlightsHandleMouseOut('leoHighlights_Underline_1')" onmouseover="leoHighlightsHandleMouseOver('leoHighlights_Underline_1')" style="-moz-background-clip: border; -moz-background-inline-policy: continuous; -moz-background-origin: padding; background: transparent none repeat scroll 0% 50%; border-bottom: 2px solid rgb(255, 255, 150); cursor: pointer; display: inline;">arthur</leo_highlight>)</span><br /><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">1 2/3 cups of sugar</span><br /><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">1 tblsp of baking powder</span><br /><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">3/4 cup of unsalted butter (softened)</span><br /><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">4 large egg whites plus 1 large egg</span><br /><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">1 cup of whole milk</span><br /><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">1 tablespoon of <leo_highlight id="leoHighlights_Underline_2" leohighlights_keywords="madagascar" leohighlights_underline="true" leohighlights_url_bottom="http%3A//shortcuts.thebrowserhighlighter.com/leonardo/plugin/highlights/3_2/tbh_highlightsBottom.jsp?keywords%3Dmadagascar%26domain%3Dwww.blogger.com" leohighlights_url_top="http%3A//shortcuts.thebrowserhighlighter.com/leonardo/plugin/highlights/3_2/tbh_highlightsTop.jsp?keywords%3Dmadagascar%26domain%3Dwww.blogger.com" onclick="leoHighlightsHandleClick('leoHighlights_Underline_2')" onmouseout="leoHighlightsHandleMouseOut('leoHighlights_Underline_2')" onmouseover="leoHighlightsHandleMouseOver('leoHighlights_Underline_2')" style="-moz-background-clip: border; -moz-background-inline-policy: continuous; -moz-background-origin: padding; background: transparent none repeat scroll 0% 50%; border-bottom: 2px solid rgb(255, 255, 150); cursor: pointer; display: inline;">madagascar</leo_highlight> bourbon vanilla</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Mix flour, sugar, baking powder in the mixer to blend.

Place in a 9 inch pie plate. You can use the bottom of a cup and tap the crumbs down to form a crust..or just use your hands! Place in fridge.</span><br /><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">SECOND: (well you could actually do this part ahead of time if you want!)Ok so this is the dangerous part... you can probably make toffee another way but this is the way I did it... (I used more than one can so I would have a few all prepared if I wanted to make another pie) Place one can of sweetened condensed milk in a pot of water and boil for about 3 hours. MAKE SURE the can is completely submerged (COVERED COMPLETELY) in water and the top is on your pot. You will have to watch this pot! You will need to add water to it. Now remember it's dangerous- there is a chance that the can could possibly explode...SO be careful!</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Once you have the toffee step finished and the can is cooled completely...take the pie crust out of the fridge. Open your sweetened condensed milk can.. and scoop out all of the toffee goodness into the pie crust.</span><br /><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">THIRD: Place the bananas over your toffee- I slice the bananas in half the long way and lay them across the toffee. You can also slice them into rounds..whatever you want!</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">FINALLY: take the one and half cups of heavy cream/whipping cream and whip it up until you have a nice thick whipped cream. You can add a little powdered sugar to the cream and/or the freshly ground coffee it you would like. (I added 3 tablespoons of powdered sugar and 1/2 tsp of ground coffee to mine)</span><br /><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Pipe or spread the whipped cream on top of your bananas! That's it!</span><br /><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">If you would like to add a little chocolate dusting or curls for a little extra something...go for it! :)</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Enjoy!</span><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><a href="javascript:window.print()">Print Page</a><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6434179402486666534-8656959135556482115?l=kelliscakes-sweetdreams.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>kelliscakeshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00887015979705770185noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6434179402486666534.post-60911934523071983062010-12-14T04:52:00.000-08:002010-12-23T06:29:56.083-08:00Banoffee Pie ...take 3<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Yesterday, a friend told me that it takes him about 3 tries when trying out a new recipe-- before getting it exactly how he wanted it..adjusting..changing ...creating...tweaking... </span><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><strong>SO three tries is about what it took for this silly pie. </strong></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Arial;">Here's the story: One day or.. <em>was</em> it night?... one of my daughter's teachers informed me about this pie...."banoffee pie" <em>she said</em>... "is Sooo good... it has a graham cracker crust, toffee... banana.." OOOH <span style="font-size: large;">STOP </span>right there.. my brain kind of turned off for a moment..when I heard the word..BANANA. I stood there in the kitchen of the pub and all I could see was her facial expressions as she described this <em>so called</em> <span style="font-size: large;">delicious</span> Banoffee pie--- I </span><span style="font-family: Arial;">couldn't really hear the rest of the ingredients. </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Arial;"> I remember one thing... </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Arial;"><em>she said</em> she had it either in England..or was it Ireland??</span></div><span style="font-family: Arial;">So of course at one of the classes I brought up the pie again to her teacher..because by that time I had even forgotten the name...all I could remember was that it had banana's in it! haha.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: Arial;"><em><strong>Banoffee Pie</strong></em>... I searched high and low, asked friends...what was this Banoffee Pie?? No one really knew what it was. Well...I found it one day on the internet. Apparently, it originated in England at a restaurant called "<a href="http://www.hungrymonk.co.uk/index.htm">The Hungry Monk</a>", in 1972. It seems as though this pie is a huge hit over there. The recipe is even posted online!!</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: Arial;">My Banoffee Pie adventure had begun. I found a bunch of recipes including the one from the Hungry Monk website. The recipes I found all tried to stay true to the original. The Hungry Monk recipe calls for a "shortcrust", which basicly contains 3 things, fat( I used butter), salt, flour and cold water. It is a nice light flakey crust. The kicker in this pie is the toffee. YES, homemade toffee. It's not as difficult as you would think..maybe a bit dangerous..boiling unopened cans of sweetened condensed milk for 3 hours!!! (<strong>safety first</strong>.. you have to make sure that you add water to the pot and keep the cans submerged the entire time! otherwise..well they could EXPLODE!) I boiled at <em>least</em> 6 cans of sweetened condensed milk in the last few days...to make this famous toffee. FINALLY, yesterday, after making 3 pies with runny toffee, I figured out what was going wrong. </span><br /><span style="font-family: Arial;">NO TOP ON MY BOILING POT.</span><br /><span style="font-family: Arial;">YES!!! </span><br /><span style="font-family: Arial;">Can you believe that???</span><br /><span style="font-family: Arial;">I boiled the cans of milk for 3 hours without a top on my pot- which caused the toffee to not completely thicken.</span><br /><span style="font-family: Arial;">HOWEVER, I did not realize this until last night when we cut into one banoffee pies to have a tasting! I had even given one pie to one of my favorite customers...who's father LOVES banoffee and tries to find it wherever he goes. So when we cut into ours...I was a bit upset!!! It tasted great but...it was runny!</span><br /><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><span style="font-family: Arial;">DISAPPOINTED...I tried again.. boiled three more cans with the <em><strong>top on</strong></em> and it worked.</span></div><div align="center" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><span style="font-family: Arial;">A nice thick, dark, creamy toffee!</span></div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><br /></div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_9ZoK_kSJFQA/TQdjM8N_aQI/AAAAAAAABfM/atyJsoYx0Qc/s400/P1160314.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" n4="true" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_9ZoK_kSJFQA/TQdjM8N_aQI/AAAAAAAABfM/atyJsoYx0Qc/s320/P1160314.JPG" width="240" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_9ZoK_kSJFQA/TQdjYDVITQI/AAAAAAAABfU/h2SrLiBLUD8/s400/P1160320.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" n4="true" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_9ZoK_kSJFQA/TQdjYDVITQI/AAAAAAAABfU/h2SrLiBLUD8/s320/P1160320.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><span style="font-family: Arial;">Instead of using the shortcrust, for this pie, I used a graham cracker crust... it's a little bit sweeter.</span></div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><span style="font-family: Arial;">All the of the ingredients make this pie a success... the layer of toffee, banana and homemade whipped cream...this pie is sure to be a hit at any party or holiday!</span></div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_9ZoK_kSJFQA/TQdjUpJoHXI/AAAAAAAABfQ/fJH4eFqt4aU/s400/P1160304.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" n4="true" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_9ZoK_kSJFQA/TQdjUpJoHXI/AAAAAAAABfQ/fJH4eFqt4aU/s320/P1160304.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I made this pie with the shorbread crust!</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Arial;">RECIPE click here in a few!</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="javascript:window.print()">Print Page</a></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6434179402486666534-6091193452307198306?l=kelliscakes-sweetdreams.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>kelliscakeshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00887015979705770185noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6434179402486666534.post-22147965891627802402010-12-07T11:18:00.000-08:002010-12-07T11:26:17.655-08:00Dora Cuppy's<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_9ZoK_kSJFQA/TP6JQMPaCAI/AAAAAAAABeE/4TRG-5TsNbg/s1600/P1160266.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" ox="true" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_9ZoK_kSJFQA/TP6JQMPaCAI/AAAAAAAABeE/4TRG-5TsNbg/s320/P1160266.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><br /><br /><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">A very nice mom asked me to make some special dora cuppy's for her daughter for her birthday.

And of course one of the mom's and I were chatting about baby shower ideas for cupcakes she is making for a family member. A little over a year ago I made baby shower cuppy's for my sister. So I shared the idea of little fondant feet for cupcake toppers. They are simple, cute and just perfect to jazz up your baby shower cucpakes! Here is a photo of the cutters I found while vacationing on Cape Cod a couple of summers ago. <span style="font-size: x-small;">(We stay in Brewster every summer. One of my favorite store's to stop by is the </span><a href="http://www.brewsterstore.com/strawberry_patch.php"><span style="font-size: x-small;">Strawberry Patch</span></a><span style="font-size: x-small;">. It's a small specialty shop in a barn. They have so many different special things from hand knit baby irish sweaters to cookie cutters to christmas decorations! Oh and I can't forget the train that they have set up outside!

This weekend is the <a href="http://www.armytenmiler.com/">Army Ten-Miler</a>. Earlier this year I wrote about my <a href="http://kelliscakes-sweetdreams.blogspot.com/2010/02/my-sweet-escape.html">running journey</a>. This year has been great! I've run in 2 half marathons & now I am running in the Army Ten-Miler race in Washington D.C. IT's on SUNDAY.. exactly 3 days away to the minute! I can't believe it is already here. I have been running and training to the best of my ability. I am sure you know how busy life gets! I fit running in between, my <a href="http://www.kelliscakes.com/">new baking company</a>, being a mom..and all of the duties that come along with that, my regular job, and LIFE! Running is my <span style="font-size: large;">sweet escape</span>. <br />This year I feel more confident. Running long distance is and has always been a struggle for me. I feel like I am better prepared and I am hoping my time will be better. It has seemed to improve with in the last few months. I have been running with a running group, a couple of different mom friends (who are faster than me--which works out great..motivation to go faster!) & on my own. So..I am really excited and hoping I meet my secret goal time.</span><br /><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;">Also this year, I will have a couple of cheerleaders traveling with me. My husband & son will be riding down to D.C. with me. We are turning this into a mini-weekend vacation. My son is excited to see the sites & learn all about D.C. He was hoping to see the white house..but go figure the tours are all booked up!! Travel time is about 5 hours-- from where we live. It's nice to have their positive support..& I especially love seeing them at the finish line. </span><br /><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;">The finish line is always emotional for me. I swear every long race.. about a quarter of a mile away from the finish..I begin to well up & I am always thinking "I did it...Oh my.. I did it". Looking back at each race... it makes me giggle at how emotional I get! ha.</span><br /><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;">Wish me luck! </span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;">p.s.

How is it possible for 11 years to fly by so fast? I remember the day like it was yesterday. I was scared & nervous of our unexpected life ahead. I was unsure of the plan that life had for us. I promised myself that I would protect this baby and love him, teach him..I'd do things differently for him. I am sure every mother thinks that! He was the most perfect baby I have ever seen. He was a magical little bundle that created a whole new life for me. When I look back at his picture's I wish I could do it all over again. I think of all the things I would have done differently. We started off young together...and we have grown up together. Somehow, some way... life has lead us to good things. The pieces always fall together and we find a way to get by, to enjoy each other, & to be thankful for the friends and family who have helped us along the way.</span><br /><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">He challenges me to create every day- in everything. Which is good. We are both still learning. He is also my biggest fan. He's that little extra push to keep me motivated. He is sweet, caring, careful & honest. He's a perfectionist..he likes things to come out correctly and doesn't have the patience when they don't. But he will try again. We are both perfectionist in every way. </span><br /><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">The most recent challenge will be his b-day cake. Every year RC gives me a challenge..."mom, do you think you can make this cake?" This year the theme is lego. Because all he talks, walk, thinks and eats...is about lego's! </span><br /><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;">I've been working up a plan...and so far I've decided to go with a small cake for the top of my <a href="http://www.thecupcaketower.com/">cupcake tower</a>. The top cake will have the lego logo on it. The bottom tiers will be filled with cupcakes with the number 11 and little lego figurine body parts toppers on them. He has asked for vanilla and chocolate cake with homemade creamy chocolate buttercream.

For the longest time I have contemplated on making my cakes & cookies into something a little more. As my children get older, I find that I have begun to allow myself to do some of the things that I have always wanted to do- which in turn will benefit "us". Over the winter I decided to start looking for a commercial kitchen to use. The kitchen needed to be in the local area... so I could still be close to home. It has defintely been a journey finding a kicthen. I found a few that were extremely far away and pricey. I also found one in a local church, however they felt that the cake business was too much of a liability on their part... totally understandable. Then one day I called down to the local pub that I run past almost every week. My husband and I have always thought it was a a cute little place. It is fairly new. When it first opened we went down for some drinks and appetizers. Good times!!</span><br /><span style="font-family: Verdana;">Anyway, back to the pub, I called up and asked if I could use there kitchen and ya know, the guy (mike) on the phone said yes.I was excited, nervous, and amazed all at the same time. I began looking into the process of licensing, how to start my own business...what did I need to do? First up was getting a bakery license. After a million phone calls to the state of CT ...I finally figured out how to get my license! 2 weeks ago, the state of CT came down to the pub and approved my bakery license!! (THANKS to Mike for answering the questions and for giving me some great advice..."ok") </span><br /><span style="font-family: Verdana;">CAN YOU BELIEVE IT!!! I have a bakery license? I have a few more "next steps" then I will begin my little mamma business. I am working on a website...and finishing up the paperwork process, as well as looking for labels and packaging products!!! My kids are beyond excited...and so am I. I absolutely love being in the kitchen and creating, as they say "crazy cakes". </span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: Verdana;">I'll keep you posted on that...and more recipes are coming too! BUT first, I will be having a <span style="font-size: large;">giveaway</span> really soon. My next post will be allll about that! So stay tuned.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: Verdana;">ON another note...do any of you use local honey?? Well I do. I love to use fresh ingredients in my baking and every day home life as well. Whether it be in my cakes, cookies, or even my tea. Here's something I'd like to share with you! My husband's co-worker gave him a container of homemade honey!!! </span><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_9ZoK_kSJFQA/TGPJpBuB8jI/AAAAAAAABYE/CrLH_GCPWu8/s1600/P1140917.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" ox="true" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_9ZoK_kSJFQA/TGPJpBuB8jI/AAAAAAAABYE/CrLH_GCPWu8/s320/P1140917.JPG" /></a></div><br /><span style="font-family: Verdana;">I swear it is the coolest thing I have ever seen. IT is part of the honey comb. HOW AMAZING. We are sooo lucky to have been given this great gift. I am not sure exactly how it works...but my husband showed me images of the bee hive and all the bee's. It's a beautiful site.</span><br /><span style="font-family: Verdana;">Here's a picture of the top:</span><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_9ZoK_kSJFQA/TGPKCf2FWnI/AAAAAAAABYM/EJzx28WbOI0/s1600/P1140918.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" ox="true" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_9ZoK_kSJFQA/TGPKCf2FWnI/AAAAAAAABYM/EJzx28WbOI0/s320/P1140918.JPG" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">GORGEOUS!

I can taste the butter in every bite and it's GOOD. BUTTER REALLY DOES make it better, I promise!</span><br /><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;">Here is my new Favorite Recipe for vanilla cupcakes! IT is sooo yummy! AND Simple. Nothing fancy about the recipe beside the cake flour. (just a little more expensive than regular flour but when used in cakes and cupcakes, it makes a world of difference. QUALITY!!) I found the recipe while googling around online! However, I can't find the site I got it from!! I can't believe it! SO, as soon as I do, I promise to give credit where credit is <a href="http://www.marthastewart.com/recipe/billys-vanilla-vanilla-cupcakes">due</a>! (found it on martha stewart, but this is not where I originally found it!)</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;">These are called:</span><br /><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;"> "<strong><em>Billy's Vanilla, Vanilla Cupcakes"</em></strong></span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;">Here's what ya need:</span><br /><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;">(makes 30 cupcakes) When I made these it made a little less! OH well.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;">1 3/4 cups of cake flower, not self rising</span><br /><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;">1 1/4 cups of unbleached all purpose flour</span><br /><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;">2 cups of sugar</span><br /><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;">1 cup (two sticks) of unsalted butter cut into cubes</span><br /><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;">3/4 teaspoon of salt</span><br /><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;">1 tablespoon of baking powder</span><br /><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;">4 large eggs (room temp)</span><br /><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;">1 cup of whole milk</span><br /><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;">1 teaspoon of pure vanilla extract (I like to use madagascar bourban vanilla)</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;">Preheat oven to 325.(Lower if you are using a dark pan) Line cupcake pan with liners; set aside. </span><br /><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;">In the bowl of your mixer (using paddle attachment) combine flours, sugar, baking powder, and salt; mix on low speed until combines. Add butter, mixing until just coated with flour.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;">In a large measuring cup (or bowl_ whisk together eggs, milk and vanilla. With mixer on medium speed, add wet ingredients in 3 parts, scraping down sides of bowl before each addition; beat until ingredients are incorporated but do not overbeat.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;">Divide batter evenly among liners, filling about 2/3 full. Bake, rotating pan halfway through, until cake tester inserted in the center comes out clean, 17-20 minutes.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;">Transfer to wire rack to cool completely. Frost once they are cooled!</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;">SO after reading this... WHO rotates the cupcake pans, halfway through? IF YOU DO, do your cupcakes still dome?</span><br /><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;">What's your favorite frosting to top a vanilla cupcake with? Or do you prefer to fill and frost??</span><br /><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;">PLEASE...share I'd love to hear!

It doesn't matter which side you choose, the bay or the ocean side- the beaches are gorgeous. Ya know what? SO are the bakeries! Down the main road, rout 6A, there are many little bakeries to choose from. Most of them are really good...but I do have 2 favorites. TODAY, I will share one of those with you. It's tucked away on a side cut through road, off of route of 6A. At first when you pull up to the tree covered farm stand you are thinking "great where the heck am I going to park." There is a very small gravel lot and more parking if you are brave enough to pull off and park on the side of the road.</span><br /><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">If you are lucky enough to find a spot in the little lot, when you open your car door you will be graciously greeted by a sweet smiling yellow lab, Annie. If she is not enough to make you want to come back everyday, then the homemade breads, muffins, whoopie pies, sweet corn and fresh fruits & veggies definitely will. </span><br /><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">The muffins: we are not just talking about your regular plain old muffin here... we are talking about FRESH, moist, want to go back everyday to stock up on these precious gold like muffins. </span><br /><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">The muffins look so good!! I try to only</span><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"> take a "taste" of the muffins, you know for recipe research sake...ha. My kids sleep a little later out here on the cape. Of course, I still wake up at the crack of dawn. I find myself trying to find things to pass the time...I get up, go for a run on the trail, have my breakfast, clean up (but there's not much to clean..we are on vacation!), just waiting for them to wake up---so I can have a taste or two of the muffins they have picked out. Ha!</span><br /><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Just take a look for yourself- so far we have tried out the chocolate chocolate chip- (kids loved it..IT's VERY chocolatey & pretty too) </span><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_9ZoK_kSJFQA/TD2QxjzKJqI/AAAAAAAABUY/_ICupd4-law/s1600/P1140337.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_9ZoK_kSJFQA/TD2QxjzKJqI/AAAAAAAABUY/_ICupd4-law/s320/P1140337.JPG" /><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"> </span></a></div><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"> AND</span><br /><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">The french toast muffin, which by the way, didn't really make it to the picture...hahaha.</span><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_9ZoK_kSJFQA/TD2RCK0jQyI/AAAAAAAABUg/bGZSV9ypUwU/s1600/P1140339.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_9ZoK_kSJFQA/TD2RCK0jQyI/AAAAAAAABUg/bGZSV9ypUwU/s320/P1140339.JPG" /></a></div> <span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">That is how good it was!!!! IT was sweet, with a little saltiness in there, moist dense cake like muffin, I could taste the nutmeg and a bit of cloves, probably dipped in butter and rolled around in a mountain of cinnamon, sugar, and salt mixture. DELICIOUS. </span><br /><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">It reminded me of a recipe I posted last year: </span><br /><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"> <a href="http://kelliscakes-sweetdreams.blogspot.com/2009/11/dirt-bombs.html">http://kelliscakes-sweetdreams.blogspot.com/2009/11/dirt-bombs.html</a></span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">This morning we are trying out a new flavor...espresso yogurt! </span><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_9ZoK_kSJFQA/TD2YUbefDbI/AAAAAAAABU4/kdFUf_zq3Kg/s1600/P1140371.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_9ZoK_kSJFQA/TD2YUbefDbI/AAAAAAAABU4/kdFUf_zq3Kg/s320/P1140371.JPG" /></a></div><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"> </span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">HOW GOOD DOES THIS LOOK???

I found the recipe online and put a little kelli twist on it!</span><br /><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;">Here it is!</span><br /><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_9ZoK_kSJFQA/TCZ7gAH3sQI/AAAAAAAABT4/k6mQDMctsOI/s1600/P1130440.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" ru="true" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_9ZoK_kSJFQA/TCZ7gAH3sQI/AAAAAAAABT4/k6mQDMctsOI/s320/P1130440.JPG" /></a></div><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;">PB Cookies:</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;">Here's what ya need... </span><br /><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;">3 cups of flour</span><br /><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;">1 tsp of baking powder</span><br /><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;">1 teaspoon of salt</span><br /><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;">2 sticks of unsalted butter (softened)</span><br /><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;">2 eggs</span><br /><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;">1 cup of chunky pb ( I used organic chunky pb)</span><br /><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;">2 1/2 tsp of GOOD vanilla </span><br /><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;">1 cup of brown sugar</span><br /><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;">1 cup of sugar</span><br /><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;">1 bag of peanut butter chips</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;">Oven temp: 350.</span><br /><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;"> Mix flour, baking powder & salt in a seperate mixing bowl. In your mixer, beat butter, pb, & vanilla. Add sugars. Once that is mixed in well, begin mixing in half of the flour mixture...make sure none of that pb goodness is stuck to the side of your bowl. Have you spoonula ready! Add the eggs, one at a time. Finally, add the rest of the flour mixture. Easy Right??</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;">You can use an ice cream scooper to scoop out and put on cookie sheet, then make criss cross fork marks by pressing the back part of your fork onto the top of the round dough ball. (this is what I did)</span><br /><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;">The recipe called for a tablespoon of dough, in a 1 3/4 inch ball form. Making about 4 dozen.</span><br /><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;">I used my ice cream scooper and had about 2 dozen cookies..maybe a little more.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;">Cook for about 14 minutes for the small balls & about 18 minutes for the larger ones. (I had to check on mine the first few times to make sure they were in long enough!)</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;">ENJOY!!!</span><br /><a href="javascript:window.print()">Print Page</a><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6434179402486666534-7962408326099828392?l=kelliscakes-sweetdreams.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>kelliscakeshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00887015979705770185noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6434179402486666534.post-40995881345861551132010-06-19T03:40:00.000-07:002010-06-19T03:40:42.257-07:00One week away<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Here we go again, just about a week away from my second half marathon. This week has been terribly crazy! But well worth all the chaos! Training has been difficult. I am convinced that anyone with kids who is training for any type of physical challenge, must also have the challenge of finding time to fit it in!! I am doing great. I had my long run on Sunday and have been doing short-mid distance runs throughout the week. The goal was to reach over 20 miles...and I am almost there. Today will push me over that 20 mile mark! YEAH.</span><br /><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;">In between training and all the family activities that come about at the end of the school year, not to mention playdates and work...I've managed to bake 4 different types of cookies ( I have no idea how many dozens it works out to be..BUT IT IS ALOT!!) & a special cake for my daughter's friend!</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;">It is a yellow vanilla cake with vanilla buttercream frosting (as requested!)</span><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_9ZoK_kSJFQA/TByejiH9slI/AAAAAAAABTc/FbswgzbD9xI/s1600/P1130436.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" qu="true" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_9ZoK_kSJFQA/TByejiH9slI/AAAAAAAABTc/FbswgzbD9xI/s320/P1130436.JPG" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Hoping for some better pics!</span></div><br /><br /><a href="javascript:window.print()">Print Page</a><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6434179402486666534-4099588134586155113?l=kelliscakes-sweetdreams.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>kelliscakeshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00887015979705770185noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6434179402486666534.post-66704234143152395782010-06-08T16:09:00.000-07:002010-06-08T16:09:53.396-07:00<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Well hello.

I am not sure if they came out how they were suppose to..but I will post the recipe because they taste FABULOUS! The recipe is part of one that chockylit uses for her samoa cupcakes.</span><br /><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;">After baking those...I decided to get outside and enjoy the warm weather...and headed out for a 4.5 mile run including some killer hills! I really needed that run to get all my stress out and leave it on the pavement...</span><br /><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;">however...if you can imagine me running with a cloud bubble over my head with all the thoughts from the day in it and ideas just overflowing and bumping into each other...like a mesh of tv shows side by side... and the channels flipping constantly..I think that is what it would look like..pretty scary! One thought was to start a new blog...hmm.. what do you think? Have you ever seen the show "the office"? Where crazy, inappropriate events occur, rules are broken and made up along the way, and the employees have no sense of team work? The show is hysterical, very very funny! But did you ever stop to think? Does that really happen?? Could people in a business setting get away with rude comments, inappropriate behavior, and blatent harrassment? Well, could it?</span><br /><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;">Well..this idea popped into my head...why not start a "fictional" blog. The blog would contain fictional stories that could possibly be based on actual events but, would still be "fictional". You know that quote that they use in the beginning of law and order? Something about a fictional interpretation of real events...</span><br /><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;">I guess it was just a thought!

How did that happen so fast? </span><br /><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;">I have a couple events coming up...first the <a href="http://cupcakecampnyc.eventbrite.com/?ref=ebtn">cupcake camp</a> in NYC! YEAH! I will be traveling to a part of the city that I have never travelled before-- to a place called "the happy ending cafe". Yes, I know. I was a bit suprised by this..and I admit..didn't understand the name at first! (I am a little oblivious at times!)But, it's a cupcake camp! And I can't wait to see all the cupcakes that everyone will bring...I can't wait to taste them either...which brings me to the next event...I probably shouldn't be tasting to many-I don't want to mess up my system...(and I have a VERY sensitive stomach! Poor me!) because... there's that little race on the 25th, too. OH MY!!! The 25th is only 3 weeks away!</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;">SO there it is! A cupcake camp & and a half marathon..not sure if the two go together. But they will be firsts for me for both! Did that make sense?</span><br /><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;">I am getting extremely nervous about the race. Driving to central park early in the morning with my husband and kids...to run a half marathon...just makes me wonder! I hope the next few weeks prove to be good for training!</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;">I will let you know how the cupcake camp goes soon! As for now...I am preparing to make </span><br /><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;">Chocolate Peanut butter crumble cupcakes and Samoa cupcakes (from Chockylit). I can't wait to share those recipes with you! You are going to love them! They are definetely only for a special treat/occasion....the calories are HIGH!</span><br /><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;">And the training... well, I need a long race this week of 9 or 10 miles! OH MY!! Let's hope that works.</span><br /><br /><a href="javascript:window.print()">Print Page</a><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6434179402486666534-1524529242410996589?l=kelliscakes-sweetdreams.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>kelliscakeshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00887015979705770185noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6434179402486666534.post-5681578298703485252010-03-27T17:30:00.000-07:002010-03-27T17:35:53.691-07:00Birthday Cake & Cherry Filling<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">This cake is a rich chocolate cake with a cherry buttercream filling & a chocolate buttercream frosting.

JUST IN CASE. Ya never know, I didn't want to say yes...and have a crazy looking sponge bob! These are my first tries..and now I think I know what I will do...he needs some arms too!</span><br /><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;">I am also posting a picture of some special ice cream cone cupcakes that I tried out today! I am trying to figure out the second type of cupcake I should make to bring to the cupcake camp in NYC! I have to hurry up and send my recipes in! So maybe I will have all of you help me decide... here are a few of the cones...they are REALLY tricky...the dipping of the buttercream can get messy if I don't turn the cone just right! It's a bit of extra work to get them to come out the way I want. I was also thinking about making the samoa cupcakes!!

AND she wasn't kidding... it seriously took no time at all!!</span><br /><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Sending a little blog love (as someone once said to me!) to Anne for the great recipe! Thank you! Here is what I did..with Anne's recipe... (I will post a picture tomorrow..this is so good I had to share it right away!!!)</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;">Here's what ya need:</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;">Ingredients:</span><br /><strong><em>Dry:</em></strong><br />1 & 3/4 Cups rolled oats <br />1 Cup koala crisp rice cereal (gluten free no perservative organic cereal--chocolate flavor!)<br />3/4 Cup seeds- total (I used pumpkin seed and sunflower seeds) <br />1/4 Cup ground flax<br />1/4 Cup unsweetened coconut (I only used a tiny bit....I had none left! she calls for a 1/4 cup)<br /><br /><em><strong>Wet:</strong></em><br />1/2 Cup honey (she used brown rice syrup..I didn't have that!)<br />1/3 Cup chunky peanut butter (that's what was in my fridge... almond butter would be great too)<br />1 tsp. vanilla extract <br /><br /><strong><em>Instructions:</em></strong><br /><br />Add all the dry ingredients to a large bowl. Mix them together.<br /><br />In a separate (microwave safe) bowl, mix together the wet ingredients, then microwave them for about 30 seconds. This will make it easier to mix and add to the dry ingredients. The honey and the PB get really sticky together.<br /><br />Pour wet ingredients into dry and mix! Keep mixing until the wet binding ingredients are as well distributed as possible.<br /><br />Then, put the mixture onto a low pan (I used a cookie sheet that had edges)and flatten it down. THAT'S IT!!!! OMG!!!!! <br /><br />Let me just say the chocolate cereal, nuts, oats, and peanut butter go so great together!!<br />I am thinking a few mini chocolate chips would be great...but hey...I am trying to stay healthy!<br /> ENJOY!<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6434179402486666534-115575289936291106?l=kelliscakes-sweetdreams.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>kelliscakeshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00887015979705770185noreply@blogger.com6tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6434179402486666534.post-60246936599249809362010-03-17T03:29:00.000-07:002010-03-17T03:29:44.056-07:00white bean chili<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_9ZoK_kSJFQA/S6CuNwQAAZI/AAAAAAAABHQ/GMe9w866hrM/s1600-h/P1120194.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_9ZoK_kSJFQA/S6CuNwQAAZI/AAAAAAAABHQ/GMe9w866hrM/s320/P1120194.JPG" width="240" /></a><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"> </span><br /><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">I found this fabulous recipe on <a href="http://aggieskitchen.com/2010/03/05/bushs-white-bean-chile-verde-with-sonoma-pesto/comment-page-1/#comment-6049">aggies kitchen</a>! (thank you aggie!)WOW! It really turned out great! My husband and son LOVED it! So for all of you chili lovers, check this out!</span><br /><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"> (I had to use what I had in my kitchen... I forgot a few things while I was out grocery shopping..but it came out great with my substitutions! That's the great thing about cooking! You can change it up..play with it & use what you have) It might look like alot of ingredients..but it really isn't! It comes together quickly. If you have leftover chicken from another meal, then you will save yourself a step!</span><br /><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><i><b><span style="font-size: small;">Here's what ya need: </span></b></i></span></div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"> 1 lb tomatillos (green tomato's)<br />1/2 lb poblano chiles (dark green hot peppers)<br />2 tsp olive oil<br />1 1/2 cups finely chopped yellow onion<br />1 TB minced garlic<br />1 tsp Mexican oregano (use regular oregano if you don’t have Mexican--I used fresh sprigs from my garden)<br />3 cups chicken stock (if you want a thicker broth.. you are going to need 4)<br />2 cans Cannellini Beans, with liquid (whoops..I grabbed a red bean and a white bean, used one of each)<br />2 TB chopped fresh cilantro ( i forgot to buy the cilantro..but I used kale instead!)<br />2 cups cooked, shredded chicken</div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">1/2 a pound of browned ground chicken (i added this to mine to get more meat into it)<br />4 cups chard, stemmed, cut 1 inch wide strips<br />salt and pepper, to taste</div><br /><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">1.

(Make sure you peel the tomatillos..mine still had the leaves on them. Roast in oven until peppers have blistered and tomatillos are soft. Remove from oven. Place tomatillos in blender. Once poblanos are cool enough to handle, remove seeds and skins. Add to blender (or food processor), blend until smooth. (if you want the chili to be on the spicy side...leave some seeds...I took all of them out and it had just the right amount of kick..not too spicy)<br /> </div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">3. Heat olive oil in a sauté pan. Add onions, cook until caramelized, approximately 5 minutes. Add garlic and oregano, cook until aromatic.<br /> </div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">4. Add tomatillo mixture, cook for 10 minutes until slightly thickened.<br /> </div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">5. Add stock, beans and their liquid. Bring to simmer, cook for 20 minutes.<br /> </div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">6. Add cilantro (or kale), chicken and chard. Bring to a simmer, cook for 10 minutes.

It has been fabulous! I love spending time baking and coming up with creative cakes. The best part is getting feedback! In between all that fun, I've been trying to make healthy fun meals for my family. As you know, I am training for my first half marathon. So I am trying to stick to a really clean diet.
