DIY Weekend

Monday, February 16th, 2009

This past weekend was chocked full of making…..baking, cooking and the next steps of our beermaking project (will post about that later).  Since Saturday was Valentines Day, I decided to make dinner and some sweets.  Let’s just say, I was in the kitchen all day and my feet were hurtin’! 

red velvet by you.

I made a batch of red velvet cupcakes with cream cheese frosting.  Yeah, I know cream cheese is not the traditional frosting for red velvet, but I just had to break the rules.

My cupcake army…

sugar cookies by you.

I also made  heart shaped sugar cookies….most were iced, but left some to be topped with the cream cheese frosting.

Some homemade pizza followed…and I was exhausted.  I think it will be quiet in the kitchen next weekend…but I make no guarantees.

Guinness Cupcakes

guinness cupcakes by you.

Yeah, that’s right.   Guinness cupcakes with a simple buttercream frosting.  I love making beer bread, so why not add a bottle to some cupcakes?  I think I am defintely going to experiment with other beers, flavors, etc… maybe do something beer-y with the frosting…

oh, cupcake, you are my friend…

Happy Halloween!

I hope you all are having a lovely Halloween… and eating lots of treats!  I plan to go into a diabetic coma soon…

homemade PB cups by you.

Here’s some homemade PB cups I made last night.  They were a bit of work (with the tempering and all), but I think they turned out.

So get over here and help me eat them.

OOooooooOOOOoooooOooooOOOOO! (that’s my scary ghost sound)

Mini Pies

Monday, October 20th, 2008

OK, I’m totally not trying to turn this into a baking blog….but I make no guarantees.

Anyways, this past weekend I made the cuuuuutest pies in the world.  Mini apple pies!  They’re baked in small half pint mason jars and make a decent sized single serving.

They just need a pat of butter on top and their lids…

Here they are right before I popped a couple in the oven…the rest went in the freezer.  I only have a couple left since I gave some away, so I should have made more :(   But they were so good!
