I made a raspberry chocolate for the park meeting today. I used fresh raspberries and made my own reduction to add to the middle layer with the carob icing :)

^ Thanks, Janetta. It's saved to my recipe file. I'm not a fan of white chocolate so will replace with either chocolate chips or nuts :)
I don't have butter extract though (first time I've heard of it). Can I simply omit or do you suggest something else?

On Saturday I used a chocolate cake mix. I baked cupcakes and a round cake. The cupcakes were piped with butter ream icing and went to my husband's work on Monday to be shared. I tried anew peanut butter icing recipe. It tasted really good, but was a little strong for the type of cake that I baked, so I only used a thin layer of it. The cake went over to a friend's house when we were visiting on Sunday.
Today I'm going to make some ciabatta buns. I find they freeze really well so I can make a few dozen and just pull them out of the freezer and reheat as I need them. I really like to add fresh rosemary and blue cheese chunks to it sometimes, it's a nice flavour combo, so I think I'll make about a dozen plain and the rest jazzed up.
Butter extract is totally optional!Quote:

Any other extract or just vanilla works fabulous too!
^ I didn't know Michael's sells extract - good to know! Thanks again, Janetta! :)

I really enjoy baking, so last night I spent an hour making a list of deserts in my phone. I am hoping to make more goodies. I always enjoy feeding them to others. I have a sweet tooth, but enjoying baking more than eating he items that I bake. :)
i made from scratch today pumpkin muffins and banana muffins.
I made a chocolate zucchini cake for dh and of coarse, his blueberry bran muffins
I'm going to make butter pecan cupcakes this afternoon if I can stop being lazy!
