Cupcake on Vacation!!

It seems like forever since my last post! I was happily vacationing in Central Florida for over a week. The sun was shining, the weather was gorgeous, and I had a great time playing in Walt Disney World.

This photograph is entitled, Cupcake on Vacation. I took this photograph while dining on The Boardwalk in Disney World. It pretty much sums up the whole feel of my vacation: sweet and relaxing.

This cupcake was a simple vanilla pound cake with (I think) swiss meringue. It wasn't too sweet. It was super light and silky. I purchased this cupcake at The Boardwalk Bakery. If you are planning on visiting Walt Disney World, I highly recommend their banana chocolate chip Mickey muffin, their eclair or one of these delicious cupcakes. It's definitely a place you wouldn't want to skip over!

4 days until Disney World!





















And I was just recently let in on a little secret...there are delicious cupcakes in Downtown Disney! How is it that I have visited Downtown Disney and never found these beautiful little creations? Well, they are hiding out in Goofy's Candy Company! Who knew?!?! Not being a huge fan of candy, I normally don't waste my time. Plus, I usually head straight to The Candy Cauldron for candy apples! 

I believe a visit to both are in order this time!

Thinking ahead!






















While I was placing an order for a recent party I am catering, I came across these adorable gingham baking cups! I automatically thought of my Strawberry Jam cupcakes and how cute they would be in them. Or, how festive they would be for a Summer BBQ. I am all stocked up and ready to bake! When placing a future order, just let me know if you want them baked in these super cute cups!!

Irish Soda Cake



























This is one of the yummiest Irish Soda Bread recipes! I enjoy it with spreadable butter and a warm cup of tea! It's a bit sweeter than traditional Irish Soda Bread, but that is why I love it. Enjoy!

IRISH SODA CAKE
Ingredients:

* 2 cups flour
* 1 cup granulated sugar, plus more for sprinkling on top
* 3 tsp baking powder
* ½ tsp. baking soda
* ½ tsp. salt
* 2 eggs
* 2 tsps. melted butter
* 1 cup buttermilk
* raisins optional (golden raisins are yummy too!)

Directions:
1. Make wet dough: mix salt, baking powder, baking soda, flour and sugar. Beat eggs lightly and add melted butter and buttermilk.
2. Mix all together.
3. Grease a cake pan (I use a round cake pan) and spoon batter in.
4. Before putting in the oven, generously sprinkle sugar on top and with a floured knife, make an X shape in the dough (allows air to release).
5. Bake at 375 degrees F for 30-35 minutes.

Happy St. Patrick's Day!
