CUPCAKES!!

[Puzzicato]

since it's all cake batter, spare yourself some work and dump it all into a cake pan and frost the whole thing when it's cool

Well exactly! Then you can decide whether you want a big piece or a little piece. Or two.

and those of us with no willpower and no desire to bake, might sort of like being able to go get -one- treat and not have a dozen or so in the house expanding our waistlines...

Yet have them be adult cake type flavours.


lol

I don't like cupcake-mania.

Ditto.I've been doing my best to ignore it but they seem to be popping up on every menu I see. I was even at a hipster bar the other night that had a cupcake bar.

simple problem, simple solution. some of the recipes sound too good not to try, in cupcake or proper cake form

turned the Guiness/Bailey's recipe into sugar cookies

 

[jamespowers]

I made some chocolate chip cupcakes yesterday with icing (not the hard crap you get from bakeries either--the soft marshmallowy kind that does involve marshmallows) and sprinkles. It was a recipe from a cookbook from the 1940s. Good thing they have chocolate chips now. I would hate to have to cut up eight squares of chocolate to make chips by hand.:eusa_doh:

They went faster then, well, cupcakes.
I'll have to get the book in hand as I don't remember the recipe at the moment.
I'll also send over a few pounds of chocolate for you to chop for me so I have them ready for next time.

Which is why you "pulse" it, not just load it and leave it, Mr. Powers.

Don't watch much Iron Chef America, do you? (Alton Brown FTW!)

HK, if you're taking signups for Cookies by Mail, where do I sign up?

Yeah, you pulse it and it turns them to dust.
Hey! Stand in line for cookies there bud. The line starts behind me. lol

 

[Diamondback]

Heyheyhey! By asking, I acknowledged that the line started with you... as for the food processor, that's why you stop and rearrange the chunks every few pulses, and you run it low and slow...

Or loading the chocolate into a Ziploc and bustin' out the ol' rubber mallet should work too. You're just trying to outsource part of the job you don't like, aren't you? lol

Gee, no kidding. Hep said she could do it in two minutes so I defer to someone who knows better than I. Two minutes sounds faster than rearranging chunks too.
