Chocolate cupcakes and apple pie
Sep 17, 2010 Cupcakes Bakery
This week marks the return of a post per week! I’ve started work again which means I can share my cupcakes and not feel the need to restrain myself from eating a batch of twelve cupcakes all by myself. To highlight my return I decided to go for a classic: chocolate cupcake with chocolate icing. Its a recipe from a book my mom gave me for my birthday simply called Cupcakes from the cupcake bakery Petits Gateaux in Montreal (sorry, links only available in french). They were fabulous! The cake rose very well without over flowing and it was perfectly soft. The icing was really good too although a lot was left over, not really complaining about that one!
With the cupcake dough I also tried out a new cake pan my brother and sister gave me. The mini cakes are really cute. I was happily surprised at how well they got out of the pan, conserving all their detail.
I have wanted to try making pie crust from scratch for a while now and with all the berries around I thought this was the perfect opportunity. Unfortunately, when I got to the grocery store they didn’t have anymore fresh blueberries. Then I thought I’d make an apple pie. It is September after all! So an apple pie is what I made! I had a lot of fun making the pie dough. I foresee more pie making in my future! I took the crust recipe from this wonderful video and took the apple filling recipe here. Joy the Baker is awesome and she has an awesome blog. If you have a minute I strongly recommend browsing through it. The pie turned out great. I can proudly call my first try at pie a success!
Cheers

The toss bouquet can be made up in the same flowers as your main bouquet. -Rather than have fortunes attached to a break away bouquet, why not attach gift cards (from coffee shops, record stores, etc) to your bridal bouquet!
