GeorgiaThis past Monday would've been pop's 80th birthday and just like in years past we celebrated with hotdogs and pie. Since dad passed away it has become a tradition with my siblings and I. This year however I actually made pie. Instead of using a cherry pie filling I made my own. It was very easy. Frozen cherries and a little bit of sugar over medium heat until the juices have reduced and thickened. I used about half the cherries the recipe called for which made for more of a tart consistency. The husband ended up just picking it up and eating it. NikitaWe celebrated a birthday at work this week and I volunteered to make some Peach Cobbler Cupcakes with Cinnamon Buttercream Frosting. The center of the cupcake was scooped out and filled with a peach, rum, cinnamon, & brown sugar compote. The original recipe suggested a cream cheese buttercream topping, but I was really feeling a cinnamon buttercream. I heard statements and received emails that read "best cupcake I have ever had!" Christopher even said the filling put the cupcake over the top. I think I'll explore more filled cupcakes in the future. Tip: Use a 1 Tbsp Cookie scoop to scoop out cupcake and fill with cobbler filling. Super Easy! I just love celebrations and remembrances.
Happy birthday in heaven old man!! Until next week, Georgia, Nikita and Amy |
