Yes, I am officially spiraling out of control regarding the baking obsession. I have decided to make Madeleines this weekend coming up, and the weekend after that is Guiness Cupcakes for St. Patrick's day, and the petit fours for Easter, and then more of them when I go visit Pat the next week. Woohoo! Baking plan for the month: fait accomplit!
Now, I have a blood orange and chocolate Madeleines recipe I've meant to make since last winter, but I also came across another recipe at this cool blog by an ex-chef Ms. Glaze. So, now I am thinking of mixing the two and using the traditional cake and dipping it in chocolate. Yum, yes? Oh, and as for Ms. Glaze's blog, it is most interesting - an american cook in Paris. Very fun.
Mmmmmmadeleines!In the name of further decoration exploration (mainly for the petit fours, though perhaps I shall do something for the Patty Cakes too, I have been googling around for cake decoration sites and I found this informative blog by a woman who calls herself a Cake Stylist - I guess a decorator just isn't en vogue at the moment.
