Amy My dog Beatrix (aka Trixie) turned 1 in October so I baked a cake and threw a party. Yes- I am touched in the head. If I were rich I'd be deemed eccentric. Either way, Trixie is rad so I baked a cake! I baked some breakfast apple bars for myself because it sounded good. And they are! First the human food: GeorgiaWe had a couple of October Birthday's this month at work. So I made these Chocolate cupcakes with creamy nutella frosting. The husband who compliments nothing.. gushed over these. This cupcake recipe, adding the cocoa to boiling water vs adding it to the flour made for a more robust cocoa flavor and interestingly the cupcakes had a hint of crispiness to them. But the frosting was the winner here. Creamy dreamy nutella frosting. It was so good Randy took the frosting bowl and "added " some more to his cupcake. They were also a big big hit at work.. I mean out of the 14 that the recipe made I came home with none I think..
Why I enjoy baking so much is because.. I was a single mom for so many years. Single mom and working mom is never easy. Baking was something I could do for my son. I know.. It sounds silly, but baking felt like this little gift I could give to him. I still enjoy baking and sharing the tasty love. Happy birthday to sweet Trixie and to all my October baby co-workers Amy and Georgia |
