Sunday Sweets: An Ostentation of Peacock
I recently stumbled across a gaggle of peacock cakes... Gaggle? No, that's not right. {Googling...} I recently stumbled across a muster of peacock cakes that were too beautiful not to share with the world. I also learned that there are a lot of interesting words that mean "a lot." This peafowl has quite the colony of tail feathers: Beautiful elegance in a modern design. This cluster of tail feathers is much more classical: I really love the bushel of...uh...talent on display here: And the hand-painted trees and tail are really fantastic. This profusion of posies makes the perfect perch for a pretty peacock. The gold detail in this litter of feathers is just enchanting: Now for some abstract beauties. The parcel of hand-drawn lines on this modern design is so intricate: I want to throw this into an episode of Mad Men where they do a commercial for NBC. This wedding cake doesn't have the skein of feathers that the other cakes do... The plethora of mosaic tiles here really sets this bird apart...

Cinnamon Brown Sugar Pop-tarts | The Baker Chick
As I’ve mentioned before, my Mom didn’t let us have junk food in the house. And I mean EVER. I think once we were allowed Cinnamon Toast Crunch to have as dessert but that’s pretty much it. In hindsight, I’m so thankful for her diligence, but at the time I was pretty bummed about it. I remember diving for the junk food every time I was at a friend’s house to the point of probably looking underfed. Pop-tarts were one of my most exciting finds. All these years later, I still haven’t forgotten how good those Cinnamon Brown Sugar Pop-tarts were. These pop-tarts are widely adaptable, easy, and so satisfying. Cinnamon Brown Sugar Pop-tarts Ingredients 1 recipe pie crust 1/2 cup (3 3/4 ounces) brown sugar 1 to 1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon, to taste 4 teaspoons all-purpose flour 1 large egg, to brush on pastry before filling Instructions If the dough has been chilled, remove it from the refrigerator and allow it to soften and become workable, about 15 to 30 minutes.

Chocolate Cupcakes with Flaming Strawberries
Call me easily amused, but these little torch-topped cupcakes delight me. Besides being a cute novelty item for a party, I think they would add a little drama to the end of a romantic meal. I've been looking for something different to serve for Valentine's dessert, and this is definitely different. For the cake portion, I chose a One Bowl Chocolate Cupcake recipe because 1. it's quick 2. it is easy, and 3. it fits my prerequisite for a light ending on date night. I should say, a light ending provided you don't eat too many. The cakes are just sweet enough, and have a light, fluffy crumb - the perfect vehicle for rich chocolate buttercream. Notes for flaming strawberries:Any alcohol below 80 proof will not ignite well. Shaina made a margarita version of this on Babble Food. Chocolate Cupcakes with Flaming Strawberries Yield: About 20 cupcakes [click to print]Cupcakes: Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line muffin tin with cupcake papers and set aside. Hollow the strawberries carefully.
