Two random shiny things I'm coveting.

Yesterday's recipe on the Cupcake-A-Day calendar was for balsamic vinegar & strawberry cupcakes. I think I need to bat my eyes at domestinatrix to see if I can sweet-talk her into making a batch.

hmm... bet you'd make those better...

I have some extra mold making materials that have to be used by the middle of this (march) month. it's a two part mold, I just have a ton of it. Need to get your logo on a cameo :)

I'm pretty horrible when it comes to quality and I don't like the first one.

[staxxy.livejournal.com]

I can has balsamic -strawberry cupcakes?

The important question is of course whether they can be made well with frozen strawberries so that we can nom them in the next few days instead of having to wait months.

No, no, the IMPORTANT question is whether you will have some for me when I come visit!

[domestinatrix.livejournal.com]

You're right, that is the important question -- what i was really asking was whether these could be made with frozen strawberries so that i could make then for you when you're here.

I left the recipe sitting on my desk at work (because I am a scatterbrain), but from what I remember, the strawberries are diced and added to the frosting. So I don't see why we couldn't use frozen strawberries.

[domestinatrix.livejournal.com]

Ooh! So they're more of a vinegar cake, kind of like vinegar pie or one of those mid-twentieth century cakes that could be made without fresh/rationed ingredients! In that case, i'm positive that they could be made very well with either frozen strawberries or even good quality preserves.
