Literally. John & I are taking a flight of minis carrot cake (C.C.) cupcakes to Shannon & Jason's annual "Welcome Vernal Equinox" party this Wednesday.
What is it about carrot cake that smacks of autumn? Mayhaps the spicy flavor echoes the Spice Wafers that are our first hint that fall is on its way, the season building through pumpkin pie before flipping into the full-court press of dark, dense, delightful gingerbread boys. Whatever, I love making carrot cake as summer ends & autumn arrives at our doorstep.
How perfect that I had the fun of making a super duper carrot cake for the bridal shower of a longtime friend's grandson's fiancee (quite the mouthful!). Got me on a carrot cake jag, whipping up a batch for BACNC students & staff, for my Glenn Hall gals & now for S & J!
Delectable of the Week!
Oh, and C.C. Cupcakes are the current CUPCAKEcalifragilistic! delectable of the week. Ah, how luxurious to linger over the spicy base cake, gorged with raisins, crushed pineapple, coconut & pecans (optional), iced with uber rich cream cheese frosting & dusted with toasted coconut. Traditional size ~ $14 per dozen; minis ~ $7 per doz. And each bite echoes, "So worth every penny!"
Yes, I can mail to "away" students (send cupcakes "nude" with a jar of frosting) ~ cost of the cupcakes, plus shipping & handling!!
To order or for more information, contact AuntDeev@aol.com - include CUPCAKES in subject line!
