Hello back at you. I have been an absent friend as well. I’m sorry (well, not really) to have gotten you so hot and bothered. I hope you’ve cooled off:)

I heart you, too and will be over to visit soon.

First of all, hello my long lost friend. I have been away from the blogosphere as of late and have missed the myriad smiles you bring with your ever timely and always entertaining posts.

Nextly, I thought those might be cherries I spied on top of those cupcakes. To be sure, I followed the link to the recipe, where my delicious suspicion was confirmed. Then I got to the part about dipping this heavenly array of sexual chocolate into red wine and at that point I went to the kitchen, tried to insert my entire face into a tub of (totally not even close to the yumminess of homemade) Betty Crocker frosting; decided this was woefully inadequate; and then took a cold shower instead.

Sigh. I heart you, Izzy. And your cupcakes too.

I laughed aloud at my computer when I read the line, “He took this slanted compliment as an invitation to stick around and lick the counter.” I can relate. I have to fight my desire to test (for quality assurance purposes) every step of the baking experiment process with a finger/bowel/spoon/whisk/beater/measuring cup or spoon/knife/plate/counter/wall/apron lick. Don’t worry, though, saliva is NOT an ingredient in my ‘for-the-public’ baked goods… I fight the lick urges pretty well.

I can’t wait to get back into a house that has the venting and air flow to allow me to again start the baking. I miss the time spent both in baking them and in licking the bowel as I finish. Cupcakes and chocolate chip cookies are my thing, hubby on the other hand, loves to bake up some brownies.

Thank you for your comment.

Trix,
Don’t you just love Nigella. From here on out, I am going to imagine that she is you and you are her- both brilliant Brits.

Click on the photo credit at the bottom of the post and it will take you to the recipe.

Haven’t heard of Sprinkles- sounds great! Love that you are having cupcakes at your wedding…I need more details. Where, when, what are you wearing, etc.

kisses

OK, you said you in your last post you felt like baking a cake, not just one it seems.

I linked to the article and Dr Nestle has an appropriate name to talk about the sugar and cupcake issue…. !! some of the most sugary products in the world burst through the factory doors at Nestle every day.

Also, please pass on the receipe – All my nigella books are in storage in the UK waiting for shipping and I’m getting withdrawal from the overt gluttony of her food.

And if you ever get the chance to have Sprinkles cupcakes from LA, just off Rodeo drive, where they line up outside the door, then do… they are to die for, or if you’re diabetic, to die of, but actually, I dont’ think you can beat home made and slightly warm from the oven.

I’m in the process of making and freezing lemon flavoured cupcakes for my offical wedding cake in 8 weeks.
