okay, so we've baked a little here, a little there throughout the past month. but annie and i FINALLY were able to fit in our second week of baking last Saturday night. I had been looking forward to this night the whole week before. Annie and I were actually calm for once and enjoyed a nice long four hours together singing to Chris Rice hymns, stylin our aprons, talking and laughing. Caleb showed up half way through (the junior high boys summer intern) and we enjoyed his company as well. He's a pro in the kitchen.
The theme: STRAWBERRIES.
The theme: STRAWBERRIES.
Our first project of the night was: Chocolate Velvet Strawberry Cupcakes.
After gathering and mixing together all the ingredients, Annie and I tasted the batter.
and let me tell you, I have NEVER tasted cupcake batter as good as this.
ever, in my ENTIRE life.
i think its safe to say that Annie and I enjoyed licking that bowl.
after all, its not baking until you've licked the bowl.
After baking the cupcakes, we made the strawberry cream cheese frosting.
It took a while to get it to be the right substance.
but it was oh-so-good.
Our second project of the night was: Strawberry Lemonade.
All it took was some lemonade, and strawberries and ohhh baby was it good.
I've never boiled strawberries in a pot of lemonade before...
but once everything was mixed together,
we had the perfect strawberry drink to go with our cupcakes.
Our third project of the night was: strawberry yogurt covered pretzels.
which failed miserably.
we still had fun.
