St. Patrick's Day Rainbow Slice and Bake Cookie St. Patrick’s Day Rainbow Slice and Bake Cookie Cookies, Dessert, Holiday Recipes, Kid Friendly Recipes | 82 comments If I had to pick a recipe that I’ve made so far this year that was most popular with the kids I would have to say it was these Rainbow Slice and Bake Cookies that I tested out for St. Because, according to legend, the leprechaun’s pot of gold is hidden at the end of a rainbow I thought it would be fun to come up with a cute treat for the kids to eat on St. I didn’t make the entire batch at once and froze half of the dough for later because we didn’t need that many cookies at once. Really you can use this same method for slice and bake cookies with any colors of your choosing. If possible, use gel food coloring instead of the traditional food coloring found in grocery stores.

A Tasty Recipe: That’s the Best Frosting I’ve Ever Had – Tasty Kitchen Blog I’ve been intrigued with this frosting recipe for months, not just because of its alluring title, but also because if its ingredients. Five tablespoons of flour? In frosting? Let’s just say my interest was piqued. I finally got around to making it yesterday evening; Marlboro Man’s grandmother has some old friends staying at The Lodge and I wanted to take them a treat. You owe it to yourself to make this frosting sometime in your life. You’ll just have to trust me on this. Here’s how you make it: First things first: I made chocolate sheet cake cupcakes. Here’s the recipe: The Best Chocolate Sheet Cake (or Cupcakes!) Let your cupcakes (or cake) cool completely. Begin by pouring 5 tablespoons of flour into 1 cup of milk. After adding the flour, whisk it together until combined, then place the saucepan over medium heat. Cool the mixture completely. The mixture will be very, very thick. Add 1 teaspoon of vanilla to the cooled flour/milk mixture. Stir it around to combine. I’m bossy.
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.

Sunday Sweets: Butterbeer Cupcakes | amyBITES Love Butterbeer Cupcakes? Check out Golden Snitch Butterbeer Cake Pops! Welcome to a very special edition of Sunday Sweets! If you’re new to this blog, let me explain. . Your cast of characters for the cakes. First, cream your room-temperature butter together with your sugars until well-combined and fluffy, like so: Now beat in your eggs, one by one. Now you’re going to alternate adding buttermilk… Cream soda… And your dry ingredients (whisked together) until they’re all added. I could’ve eaten this entire bowl with a spoon. And bake for 15 to 17 minutes until a tester comes out clean and the cake springs back slightly when touched. Mmm. Now it’s time for your butterscotch ganache, which will be the filling and be in the buttercream frosting. This will be a lot thinner than your standard chocolate ganache, but don’t worry. The best way to do the filling is to buy a cheap squeeze bottle (this one was less than a dollar) and fill it with your ganache using a funnel. I wish! Enjoy!.
Chocolate Easter Surprise Eggs These dyed Easter are real eggshells that have been coated on the inside with chocolate and stuffed with candy and a small surprise. Everything I used to decorate the eggs is edible. I used jumbo sized eggs, though this wasn’t necessary. I stuffed them with the smallest things I could find. I was hoping to try to make my own version of the chocolate filled real eggshells that Martha Stewart created a few years back, but I wanted mine to be more like a Kinder Surprise egg with a toy or small item inside. I learned a lot through mistakes along the way (which I’ll go into obnoxious detail about in a later post), but here is what did work for me. dyeing the eggs The Martha Stewart instructions for preparing eggshells for filling with melted chocolate involve using a Dremel tool to neatly widen the hole. It’s meant to be used on soft boiled eggs with cooked whites, so it’s a bit treacherous using it on raw eggs. If you’re going to dye the eggs you can do this right away. coating with chocolate
