Last week I customized Burgundy Velvet cupcakes for Osiris, a well-known skate shoe company that has been around for a long time. I use to wear Osiris shoes back in my high school years! Check them out at: http://www.osirisshoes.com/.
Unfortunately, I forgot to snap a shot of them before delivering but I was lucky enough to have them take a photo of some of the cupcakes. I also made Peppermint Mocha cupcakes which were of course soo delicious!!
Some of my other orders throughout the past two weeks consisted of TARAmisu, Chambord & Chocolate, When Life Gives You Lemons, Chai Tea Latte, Burgundy Velvet, Root Beer Float, & Peppermint Mocha.
I also had an order for Burgundy Velvet Cupcakes with a request for a Chocolate Cream Cheese frosting. I was excited to make this as I haven't yet created a Chocolate Cream Cheese frosting, but knew this would be rather simple for me to make. They came out soo delicious!
A girlfriend of mine, has been asking me to create a Lavender & Honey cupcake for quite some time now and I finally found the time to do so. I used dried lavender flowers & an organic, clover honey to create this cupcake. The cake turned out very fluffy & light. I topped the frosting with a White Chocolate & Honey-Lavender frosting. I was disappointed with the frosting as it was very potent & overwhelming in taste. It had a very strong Lavender flavor which almost tasted a bit chemically...yuck! I think next time, I will 86 the lavender in the frosting & just top the cupcake with a White Chocolate & Honey Frosting. Unfortunately, this flavor is not yet ready to be added to my cupcake menu, but I will reattempt this flavor in the Spring & reintroduce it! Hopefully it will be up to par by then;)
Well, I better get working on my Pumpkin Cheesecake that I'm making for our Christmas feast tomorrow! I will of course upload a photo of it once it's finished!!:)
Merry Christmas everyone!
