S'more Style Chocolate Whiskey Pudding

S'more please

I wasn't sure if I'd have time to make this recipe (our last recipe from Baked Elements).  But I pulled up my big girl pants and got in the kitchen.  Luckily this is another easy recipe.  I don't make pudding very much so hopefully it turns out!  Of course seeing Mark's instagram pic of his finished pudding product got me in the mood.  Yeah, I'm totally in a pudding mood.  It's a mood people!  My mood ring often turns to pudding.  What?  Why would I lie about something as sacred as my mood ring?

Squirrel! 

Pumpkin Cinnamon Rolls

Roll it, Slice it, Bake it

Roll with it, baby.  Unless you're a pumpkin and then we bake with it, baby.  Yes, Baked loves Pumpkin.  And so do I.  Not sure about pumpkin in cinnamon rolls though. But far be it from me to doubt my Baked Boys.  I'm pretty sure they are cool with me calling them that now.  We have a connection me and my Baked Boys.  Well...I met them...and it was magical...okay, it was a book launch and a new bakeshop opening for them.  Yes, I'm a foodie geek.  And I met up with some of my pals from Baked Sunday Mornings to celebrate the new book, Baked Occasions, and the opening of Baked Tribeca (the Baked Boys 2nd bakeshop).  This was another amazing bit of New York City that I got to experience.  I will be sharing that in another post.

Chocolate Mayonnaise Cupcakes

Got Mayo?

A cupcake made with mayonnaise?  "Eww", I heard a voice in my head say.  Um excuse me?  What are the main components of mayonnaise?  Eggs and oil.  Why?  Well, those two things are generally the basis of cupcakes and cakes.  So there!  Sheesh, a little defensive about baking?  I know you are, but what am I?  'Nuff said. 

Now before we get to the recipe, let me just say I LOVE NYC!  Yeah, I was just in NYC.  No biggie.  Just my first time EVER going to NYC!  I don't wanna blow this out of proportion or anything...or exaggerate...but it was TOTES AMAZEBALLS!!

And I am TOTES DEPRESSED that I had to leave NYC.  (I think she liked it.)  Good Grief, Charlie Brown why did we leave?  Well, other than the fact that we couldn't afford to live there, we couldn't afford to live there.  Two good reasons.  You win this one, Chuck.

There were so many great things about this trip.  (Big and small.)  You know when you've wanted something for so long and when you finally got it, you were a little disappointed.  Yeah, we've all experienced that.  But this long awaited dream did NOT disappoint.  NYC lived up to all my expectations.  And I can't wait to go back.  A new blender wouldn't be a disappointment to me either (just sayin').  What?
