I love the longer daylight hours,being able to eat and live outside. The flowers are blooming - at least the ones I have managed to keep alive :) life is sweet! It’s been a busy June at The Dessert Tray with graduations, weddings and showers, such happy times. I am thrilled to be as busy as the bees. I have exciting news, but you’ll have to check back in a few weeks to see what’s cookin’!
Winter is over and I for one am glad. I love the rain, but come on, we live in San Diego for a reason, and our lives revolve around being outdoors. I had planned to post some pictures of all the yummy treats I have been working on, but for some reason - most likely my complete lack of computer intelligence :) - I cannot seem to find them. So I will just tell you….
I have never been a huge fan of scones. I personally always found them much too dry. But, last summer we went to Hawaii (Maui and Kauai), and had the most moist, delicious scone ever, sold and made by a woman at a roadside farm stand. She would not share her recipe. I couldn’t be upset, as she clearly had a corner on the market as far as scones go. So, I have been trying to replicate that taste ever since. I finally discovered her “secret ingredient” and have been making all kinds of different flavors of scones. My personal favorites so far have been a dried Cherry/chocolate chip and a toasted almond. Oh the possibilities are endless…….
I also, have a picture of my sweet revenge cupcake. I will find it somewhere :)
Now on to cake pops. Have you heard of them? No? Well, they are the new big craze. And I mean it. It’s everything you want in one little pop. It’s cake and frosting, rolled together into a ball, covered in chocolate candy and put on a stick, so it’s even easy to eat. How fantastic is that?
I promise, I will find my pictures. They are in this computer. Somewhere. Not over a rainbow I hope…..
How good does THAT sound? Well, since dessert is pretty much on my mind at all times, I have just named my new cupcake!
A very good customer asked me today if I could try to replicate a favorite restaurant dessert of hers. She described, and I envisioned.
Stay tuned, I will start creating this one early next week for tastings!
If you missed out on this month’s special, don’t worry, there will be another one next month!
