Today's post will be a little different. Unfortunately I had no time today to write this post properly, I finally saw the fault in our stars this afternoon and then spent the rest of the day baking cupcakes with my best friend, just like we used to. From there I went straight to babysitting, where I am now. And while the kids are sleeping I thought I would write something for the day. So this post is for my best friend and while it doesn't feature a recipe or a picture, it does include the thought process that she had in coming up with this afternoons concoction.
The last time we baked something we made brown butter oatmeal cookies with caramels and peanut butter. So with some leftover caramels in the cabinet she thought that they may as well be used up. So we began searching for vanilla cupcake recipes. She thought that if we made vanilla cupcakes, we could put a caramel inside each cupcake to add flavor and texture. For the frosting she thought of a brown butter frosting. As you can tell brown butter tends to be a theme in most of the things we make. To add a salty contrast and a crunch she crushed up some cashews and pretzels and decorated the top. It's these creative and unique creations that make my best friend who she is, and why I think her ideas for the next greatest Brooklyn cupcake shop could actually work in the future, even if I call them crazy sometimes.
So while this post isn't the norm. I thought it would be nice to shine a light on some of the baking adventures that I experience with my best friend leading the way. Who knows, maybe this post could lead to more feature posts of some of the other crazy, but very important people in my life. So til next time,
Keep Cooking (and creating) Brooklyn!
