Headed to the Coast



My mother-in-law requested lemon cake balls to take with her on her trip to see her sister in Hilton Head, South Carolina. I guess they probably have enough shells out there already but I thought I would add a few more to the population. Click here to find out how to make the sand dollars and shells out of candy clay.

Get Your Motor Running


Happy Birthday Pam!
I made Apple Streusel Muffins for a co-workers birthday. She loves Harleys so I went with a "chrome" theme. I found the recipe for the muffins here. I decided to omit the walnuts in the streusel topping because you never know everyones taste and I didn't want to be "that guy" who's treats go untouched. Not a worry there. I snagged my container when I saw there was only one left. I wanted one for myself.


The muffins were very good. Very moist and tender just as described in the recipe. To go along with the muffins I made cinnamon butter by combining a stick of butter, 1/2 cup of powdered sugar and a tablespoon of cinnamon. It was wonderful! People were eating it without the muffin, I also made vanilla cream cheese by combining softened cream cheese, powdered sugar and vanilla. It was gone before the muffins were. Sorry, didn't measure out this one but it was getting late and all of my measuring utensils were dirty.
