Today I am making candy cane and eggnog cupcakes. I can't wait to taste them. I simply love candy canes, especially the red, green and white kind. You know the kind that I am talking about. They taste so much better than the red and white kind, at least to me. The candy cane is sweet with a milder minty flavor. My mom started buying these (the green and white and red candy cane) when I was a little girl and I was instantly hooked. For several years I have not been able to find them but this year my supermarket has stocked more of them than the red ones. I just hope that they taste the same. I am going to crush up some of them and add them to my cupcake batter. I am also going to make a round of eggnog cupcakes. I am not a huge fan of the drink (it is too thick) but I think that it would make a "mean" cupcake. It is also one of my holiday varieties so I better practice it. I also need to pick a cookie to bake today. I am thinking about a triple chocolate chunk. My first round of cookies should be ready for baking a shipping by Wednesday (I made lots of dough over the weekend and decide not to bake all of the cookies).
Oh, I almost forgot, tomorrow is Chaka's b-day (the big 32!!!!!!!!!!) He has requested a sweet potato cheesecake as his b-day cake. I better get baking............

My hubby likes cheesecake, too...but it's the one thing I just can never get right! You're the ultimate baker!
Baking it in a waterbath is key. I also bake for the required amount of time and then shut the oven off and let the cake sit for up to an hour in the oven. This is a trick I learned from a pastry chef years ago. Works everytime.
