First of all, I made 36 Pistachio Rosewater cupcakes which turned out awesome!
I also made ranch pretzels, goat cheese & sun-dried tomato bruschetta, fruit dip with fresh fruit, and roasted red pepper hummus with veggies. Ryan’s mom made a yummy salad with strawberries, oranges, and cashews, a friend brought a reuben dip, and his aunt brought chicken wings. We had quite the spread and of course I forgot to take a picture!
On Sunday, I couldn’t resist trying some more cupcakes. I tried the Lychee Cupcakes as lychee is one of my favorites! These needed more liquid as the mix was dry, so I added some more lychee syrup. They turned out very muffin-like, but were still great as muffins! I used a coconut glaze to frost and some of the extra buttercream frosting from the rosewater cupcakes as decoration. It is also adorned with dried lychee.
Your cupcakes are gorgeous! And your fruit dip and hummus sound delicious.
ReplyDeleteI love the looks of the stewed tofu on the previous post as well!
Pistachio Rosewater cupcakes . . . I need to make these because I can still taste how good they were :)

ReplyDeleteLovely, cute and sweet cupcakes! Oh, i so want this cookbook! Thanks for sharing your photos here of 'em. You did 'em up so pretty pretty!!
ReplyDeleteThe cupcakes look awesome.
ReplyDeleteI am the same way with cooking when people come over, I always feel like I need to do it all. And it's not really a burden, because I like it, and it's usually appreciated.
I agree with Vicki, your choice of cupcakes was perfect for a baby shower- they look beautiful! (The lychee ones, too) That shower sounds fabulous, I can just picture the spread of food. I agree with you- I like to keep a certain degree of control over the cooking, but I'm learning to let go- a little!
ReplyDeletepretty cupcakes, what a great work you do!
ReplyDeleteTime to open your own bakery. Seriously.
ReplyDeleteI just got this cookbook a short while ago. I'm very intigued by the rosewater cupcakes. They look very pretty. Glad the shower was a success and much good food was had by all.
