MORE BAKED DOUGHNUTS!

We have been having a great time experimenting with our new doughnut pan!

We have discovered that you can bake any doughnut instead of deep frying them. This time we got a sour cream doughtnut recipe from the internet and simply baked them at 350F for 12 minutes.

After cooling we iced with our homemade vanilla and chocolate buttercream icings!

Delicious and only a fraction of the calories of their fried counterparts!

LAYERED CAKE CUPS

Who doesn't love a layered cake; but, it is not always the most portable dessert.

We have come up with a great idea that we also used at our last street sale - Layered Cake Cups!

What we did was bake our cake (red velvet is pictured) in a large muffin/cupcake
pan. You can then cut each cupcake into 3 or 2 layers. Place your first layer in the bottom of a 9oz plastic cup and top with a layer of icing. Continue with the other layers and finish with your yummy icing.

You can freeze your cupcakes and make yourself a nice layered cake cup whenever you have a craving!

You can purchase the cups at your local grocery store. They also make lids that cover the cups that can be purchased at a restaurant supply store or you could cover with some press-n-seal or saran wrap.

A hint about red velvet cake: It is not the food coloring that makes the cake so yummy, so we make a variety of velvet cakes (yellow, green, pink, and even white). They are just as delicious as the traditional red velvet and they take much, much less food coloring and will not have such an adverse affect on your digestive system :-)
