Yesterday I delivered the lemon and chocolate b-day cupcakes. They turned out surprisingly well. I mean, I was not entirely convinced that the 2 flavors would compliment one another. Actually, my hubby Chaka says that my lemon sunshine is luscious and it makes him want to do things that I can not discuss on this PG site, but I think that you get my drift. So I was not sure if it would be as luscious with chocolate butter cream on top. They turned out ok. Not my favorite but I hope that Mo's mom loves them. They did pass the Nalah-B stamp of approval. For a 6 year-old she is becoming a sensory queen, look out all you food scientist. This is how she described the cupcake: "tangy and sweet with a dark finish". I had to get her to explain the dark part b/c I was completely taken a back by her use of that world. She said that the chocolate butter cream made the cupcake dark and chocolaty, not like a Hershey bar but more like a chocolate chip. Folks, I am impressed. I have worked with many trained panelist during my days as a food scientist and I was never this lucky to get such a description. I guess I should start contacting the CIA (Culinary Institute of America), OSU and Cornell and let them know that we have a food protege on our hands..................
Anywho, Chaka is on his way back from teaching a seminar on diversity and HIV at OSU. After, the long drive, I know he will not go for having day old cupcakes for dinner so I better whip up something to put in his belly.
Later Gaters.
Oh, the picture above is of Mo's mom's b-day cupcakes, enjoy!
