Cook and Tell: Godiva Caramel Pecan Bark Chocolate Cupcakes and Cream Cheese Frosting

25 Sep

That’s a mighty long title up there, isn’t it?:) Well, I think these darling cupcakes deserve the long title. You might find that these beauties look somewhat familiar. Well, you’re not off base at all. These cupcakes are an updated version of these.

As part of Foodbuzz Tastemakers Program, I received Godiva’s Caramel Pecan Bark limited edition fall flavored coffee. And  I decided that coffee isn’t just for beverages. I decided to spruce up my very first cupcake venture with this fall flavor. And since I recently learned that to be part of the secret recipe club, I need to actually post the recipes in the blog entry…here is the recipe for these tasty delights. Your friends and family will love them and will ask for seconds, trust me!

A new adventure…

14 Aug

The last few weeks I spent a lot of time thinking about my hobbies. I don’t know why I didn’t consider this before, but I love food (eating in particular) and over the last few years I’ve gotten into cooking more and more. I also love photography. Why not combine it into a great project?

A friend of my is a big foodie and big on cooking up a storm and experimenting with new dishes. After talking things over with her, we decided to collaborate on this new project. The idea being that I photograph her cooking endeavors and of course share them with you. We might even share the recipes.

So what’s a food blog post without a photograph of food? Well here is a little something from the past to start you off with. This isn’t a recipe but something mouth watering…

See you back here in a few weeks for the unvailing of our first dish!
