I spent a lot of time in the kitchen this weekend, mostly baking...occasionally sampling. First off was cupcakes for my friend's daughter's birthday. I think they turned out pretty cute. This was my first attempt at homemade chocolate frosting and er, I think I might be in trouble. After decorating all of the cupcakes, there was too much frosting left to throw away so I put it in the fridge and um, maybe had a spoonful or two. I swear that's all. In the past hour.
Next up, turtle cheesecake. Dave's birthday is Tuesday and his favorite dessert is cheesecake. I was planning on making it Monday night so it could refrigerate overnight and then we'd have it on his birthday but then I got to thinking, you know, it's really time consuming to bake a cheesecake, what with there being so many steps, and I'm pretty sure Dave wanted to eat it tonight. I think he was craving it. I said HE was craving it, not me! Of course, I wanted to satisfy that craving for him so I got to work. Seriously, to die for. I mean, HE thought it was to die for. Really, what's not to love? Graham cracker/Oreo cookie crust, caramel, pecans, and CHEESECAKE!! Maybe I'll have another slice, er, I mean a slice, just a small one of course...
