Miss Martha Stewart

The Birthday Cupcakes

Stephanie is working her way through the Martha Stewart Cupcake cookbook. Her reason for doing this was to do something that identified her and was hers; that is it was her very own special thing.

To this point she has made a chocolate chip cupcake with chocolate ganache icing, a oreo cheesecake cupcake, a white cupcake with white icing decorated with a flag to commemorate the fourth of July. Neil is an excellent cook and his words have been they have all been good.

Steph, as many years as I have been cooking I have never tried to make chocolate ganache.

So far, the only ones I have tasted are the ones she made for Makenna Kate's birthday. They were white cupcakes made from scratch, not a mix and a white creamy icing. Oh they were so good. You have to understand this was an undertaking for someone who does not even like to cook. Steph, I am so proud of you. Keep at it.
