Truffles

I was randomly looking around other blogs and being a lover of Oreos, (especially for cheesecake crusts). I found the recipe for these on Bakerella's blog.

Got the goodies together and out come these. Much easier than real truffles with all that chocolate messiness. Just have Oreos, room temp cream cheese, mix, freeze coat with white chocolate (and copha (vegetable solid fat)to make it hard. Here I had two layers of white chocolate to get the idea thickness for me.

Sprinkled the aside Oreo crumbs over the truffles.

And even my other half admitted to eating them and he claims that he doesn't like cheesecake...(it has no lemon in it to be like a cheesecake).

I like the shell on the outside and the chocolate centre, with creaminess. The only disappointment is they don't take Oreo enough!

Thanks Bakerella.

Blue Star Cupcakes

Well I have finally got round to writing another Blog.... I have certainly baked since then but have moved house 2x. 1,700km the 1st time and 30km the 2nd time. Now have a more suitable house with a massive kitchen and of course huge pantry (which feels like a long walk to get to from the sink but its only about 3m...

Amongst looking at other blogs and getting delighted, I have a partner who is an absolute Nazi clean person, who gets upset at a glass being used and left on the bench 30sec after you have placed it down.

I made these cupcakes a version of the black forest cuppys I have shown previously on my blog but cornflour instead of dutch cocoa powder and butterscotch liquor instead of cherry brandy.

The liquor made them smell absolutely delicious whilst cooking in the oven.

The finished product produced a spongy like cake, that leaned towards the flavour of the raspberry icing of pinkness.

The icing was made by bucket chemistry... icing sugar, small amount of fat melted, raspberry flavouring (thus the pink) and teaspoon chambord to add some more flavour and little water to make it sufficiently wet till the fat cooled after icing the cakes flat...

Used star cutters on blue rolled plastic icing and WAOLL LLAH a scrummy cake. That was also delightful to look at.
