Do you like chocolate? Do you like coffee? If you answered yes to these two questions, you will want to try this cupcake recipe!!! I'd tried to bake a lot of chocolate cupcakes, and I have to say this is by far the BEST recipe out there. The texture of the cake is soft, perfectly sweetened, and extremely moist. The only thing you have to worry about is, make sure there are plenty of people nearby when you take these cupcakes out of the oven. I'm afraid that you won't be able to resist yourself from eating the entire batch.

Happy Easter! This is the perfect occasion to make some edible baskets of eggs and flowers...and to enjoy (eat) them over your afternoon tea. My kids are super thrilled for this holiday because they get to do their "egg-coloring experiment" both at school and at home. This year, I'd learned a few new things about Easter through my son. Since this is the kids' first year at a Catholic Montessori School, they are taught a great deal of things about the Jesus, Catholics and everything from good angels to heaven. It is amazing how much information the kids have absorbed during the past 6 months at this school. Bad or good, I'm not quite sure as our family practice Buddhism. But, I think the grandparents are more intimidated with this than I am. As long as the kids are learning how to be kind and how to treat people with respect, I am a happy Mom! The last few weeks have been chaotic at our house. We recently came home from a fun, but exhausting, family trip to Southern California and Las Vegas where the kids revisited Legoland, watched a few shows and enjoyed exotic foods. Aside from coming home to a messy house that desperately needs cleaning, we also must cater the kids to numerous events, including birthday parties and egg hunting trips. I was hoping to get some baking done during the kids’ Spring break, yet I could barely get any routine things done, leave alone whisking up those new recipes. Bummer!
Apart from all the craziness in our lives, the best thing that I came home to is a birthday gift from a new friend—lavender baking extract! A few months ago, at our get-together, I'd expressed my interest in making lavender macarons but I was unable to find any lavender extract from the local groceries. I cannot believe she remembered this. I was so ecstatic to add these extremely thoughtful gifts into my baking cabinets...and waiting for the opportunity to use them. |
