The original cupcake baker6/16/2023 ![]() I had to enjoy these forbidden treats surreptitiously at my best friend’s house, since none of them could pass Daddy’s strict culinary standards. The major issue, as I saw it, when I was 8, was that I was not allowed to indulge in various childhood treats that others took for granted. Hopefully, this will make it easier the next time, for these truly are worth making again.Īlthough rare, there were a few disadvantages in having a father who was a baker. It is my one fear with posting my own creations….I hate to have people go to all of the time and expense of making something that doesn’t turn out like it should because I didn’t communicate well. She did a tremendous job on them, despite the fact that I wasn’t as descriptive as I should have been with the filling and it got more than a little goopy on her. My friend Spryte ( Spyte’s Place) had to look through my stuff and decided on my cream filled cupcakes. My paired up member was Chris (Tyler’s Aunt) and I made a really good lentil soup from her cache of recipes (that blog will follow). It was a really interesting one, where we put all of the participant’s names into a hat and paired each other up with another member’s recipe box. ![]() Even an hour out of the oven, though, we weren’t crazy about them, but I am glad I gave them another shot.Recently, we had a little challenge going on at my favorite website,. It’s just the two of us, so I freeze baked goods immediately after baking them so we can eat them “like fresh” when we feel like it, so I had just defrosted them for an hour on the counter before eating. The next day I wanted to have some for a snack, and they were just crazy dry and crumbly and just fell apart in my hands whenever I took a bite. ![]() We’re not used to gluten-free desserts, so maybe it’s “good for a gluten-free cupcake”? They were an okay texture but my husband and I just weren’t crazy about the mouthfeel. The batter and cupcakes looked just like in the photo, and when I took a bite the crumb looked just like in the picture. I had applesauce and almond flour lying around that I needed to use up, so though I am not gluten-free, I thought I would make these right the second time. I made these once before when I couldn’t use cornstarch and used coconut flour instead – it wasn’t a huge success (my comment is here with more details). If you try this recipe, let us know!
