My first greeting to Spring season was a colorful one. This display of tulips at Thomas Farms was so vibrant and I’m glad the camera was able to capture the colors perfectly.

Dusty brown mound of yummy goodness. Bay Area’s See’s Candies sells this “sweet” potato every St. Patrick’s Day, which means I wait an entire year just to have it. April 27th, 2010
We had a great class this past weekend with a menu of Spring cupcakes. All the cupcakes tasted great but what I loved about this class was the added focus on decorating using edible flowers and fondant. Such great techniques to use on cakes for Mother’s Day and the coming wedding season. Spring Cupcake Menu: Devil’s Food Cupcakes I wish I had taken more photos, but for once I have very few as I was trying to run around to all the recipes. April 3rd, 2010
These cupcakes are perfect to make this time of year. They fit right in for a bunny-themed Easter party, Earth Day, or Spring Garden party, as shown in the Hello Cupcake book, where the peas and carrots are part of a garden plot along with cute radish and lettuce cupcakes. This is a good beginner cupcake because it’s a lot of molding and rolling with fruit chews. It doesn’t require as much of a steady hand for little details. March 28th, 2010
The warm weather has only just started to settle in so it’s been strange to mentally think Spring. I realized Easter is next week after seeing Target’s four aisles of goodies. (The Nestle eggs mix with Crunch and Butterfinger is the best). To get in the Easter spirit, I made these adorable chick cupcakes by Martha Stewart but with a Hello Cupcake twist, just to make it easier on myself. Mug shots May 3rd, 2009
One of the ingredients I look forward to using when in its in season is Meyer lemon. I love that every part of it can be used - zest, peel, juice. Meyer lemon is not as tart as lemons you find year round which make them perfect for baking. These bars would be great for Mother’s Day. Not too sweet and not too rich. Just enough to not make you feel guilty for having some. April 13th, 2009
My favorite meal of the day: Brunch. I don’t feel guilty about having a nice hearty meal. It is after all, two meals combined in one. This recipe for Mini Frittatas from Giada de Laurentiis is great. It’s really versatile. In fact you could build a fixings bar and let everyone sprinkle in the ingredients they want in the frittatas before baking them off. Just a note, I used a regular cupcake/muffin size pan. Giada used a mini muffin pan to get bite-sized frittatas. April 12th, 2009
photo: Time Out New York, Magnolia’s Easter Cupcakes The minute I saw this I was in love. The egg carton is adorable and clever. I really am a fan of the Magnolia Bakery style of cupcakes. The way the frosting is swirled is so perfect but still homemade looking. Their pale pastel frosting colors are perfect for Easter. |
