IC ~ I ♥ NY Cupcakes…Savory Edition!

by Aimee on May 23, 2009

I ♥ NY (Bagel) Cupcake Half

It’s Iron Cupcake time, and I actually made the deadline this month! This month’s theme was to come up with a savory cupcake. All I could think of was bagels. And what is more NY than a bagel that has a dream of becoming a cupcake. NY being the place where impossible dreams can come true. But I didn’t want a plain old bagel. I envisioned an parmesan cheese and olive spiked “cupcake” of delectable doughy goodness…but would it work?

Do you have zeal for tuiles?

by Aimee on February 5, 2009

Fleur de Tuiles

It is ironic that what appears to be the simplest of tasks turns into a laborious challenge. That was the big lesson I learned attempting January’s Daring Bakers Challenge.

This month’s challenge is brought to us by Karen of Bake My Day and Zorra of 1x umruehren bitte aka Kochtopf. They have chosen Tuiles from The Chocolate Book by Angélique Schmeink and Nougatine and Chocolate Tuiles from Michel Roux.

They also supplied a recipe for savory tuiles from Thomas Keller from the French Laundry and his cookbook of the same name. I ended up trying the basic sweet and savory recipes. (Scroll down for recipes and food porn.)   Click to continue…
