On our Seattle pilgrimage to see George Michael, we went to Trophy Cupcakes, which deserves a blogpost all it's own.
The shop (or I should say shoppe - it's such a shoppe) is small but packed with super fun party supplies. They must have a hell of a buyer.
Trophy got some good press when featured on
Martha Stewart. That link will take you to the recipe and video segment where s'more cupcakes are made.
I got the vanilla vanilla, triple chocolate and strawberry lemon to bring home and share with the family. I popped them in the fridge where they sat for a day and let me tell you - they were fabulous a day old, nice and cold.
During our girlfriends' trip to Seattle to see George Michael, we stumbled upon a gem of a bakery - Macrina Bakery and Cafe. Everything was gorgeous and yummy looking. I found the cookbook at Powell's last week and picked three up - one for me, Marfie, and Auntie B. I've started baking out of it right away.
These are the perfecto Cherry Almond Scones - though I made a hazelnut version instead of almond. These are super classic scones - not the Starbucks kind that are sort of soft and muffinish but truly English scone like. The kind you would like to have lemon curd and clotted cream with. We devoured them quite quickly. Next up . . . the rocket muffins.
