Peppermint Mocha Cupcakes
2007-12-20 09:00:00
I have been wanting to enter a cupcake in Cupcake Hero for the longest time. So, here it is, my first entry for Cupcake Hero #4: Peppermint Mocha Cupcakes. Laurie of Quirky Cupcake has declared mint the official ingredient for Cupcake Hero. Ah, mint, it goes so well with a lot of things. I got the idea for the cupcake from my friend Katie. A couple of weeks ago she sent me a sampler of hot chocolate mixes. In the note she mentioned that sometimes she adds a packet of the cocoa mix to cake batter. For the cupcakes I used the Belgium Chocolate flavor.Here's how I did it. The recipe I used called for hot water. I just added the cocoa to the hot water and whisked the mixture well. Then I just added the hot cocoa to the recipe when it called for water. I did decrease the sugar amount by a 1/4 cup. Since the cocoa contains sugar already. The result was a very mocha tasting cupcake. The peppermint icing is super easy. It's one stick of unsalted butter [softened], 1 pound of sifted con...

Ginger-Spice Cupcakes
2007-12-19 18:00:00
This is what happens when you bake while listening to the nutcracker. You get gingerbread men dancing on top of cupcakes. I've had this tiny gingerbread cookie cutter for awhile now and I've been wanting to do something special with it. Last week Tara of "When Tara Met Blog" threw a Christmas cupcake exchange party. It works just like a cookie exchange party, but instead of cookies we exchanged cupcakes!Oh, the cupcakes! So many different flavors. There was a horachata cupcake, red velvet, devil's food with royal icing, lemon coconut, chocolate with a ganache center, minty oreo cupcake, and coffee cake cupcakes just to name a few. We then cut up samples of the cupcakes, tasted them and then we voted. There were three categories and I tied in the "Best Decorated". I received a lovely gift tote which contained a holiday movie, cookie cookbook and decorating supplies. Thanks Tara! It was a great way to spend a Sunday afternoon.The ginger-spice cupcake was delicious! I like "gingerb...

Christmas Cookies
2007-12-19 06:14:00
Every year I give out a "cookie box"that contains an assortment of sweets. Earlier this week all the cookies were baked, boxed, and sent via fed ex to friends across the country. The cookies will be heading out to Texas, Florida, Ohio, Illinois, and New York just to name few of the states. Hopefully they will arrive in one piece and not melted.All the cookie recipes will be listed down below by name in no particular order. Just click on the name and grab the recipe.Also, I would like to thank Mr. Daniel DeMoss for all the lovely Reynold's Parchment Paper samples and recipes he sent me. The parchment paper came in super handy for storing dough that was resting, rolling out my cut-out cookies, and changing out the cookie sheets. The real plus was that they were exact size of my cookie sheets, so no trimming was necessary. Thanks again Mr. DeMoss. Happy Baking everyone!1) Linzer cookies 2) Thumbprints 3) Rugelach 4) Vanilla Malt 5) Truffles 6) White Chocolate Chip 7) Gingerbread Girl ...

Raisin Bread Pudding-SHF #38
2007-12-17 05:28:00
I know it?s Sunday. I just ran out of time on Friday to post it, but it?s by no means late. Zorra of 1x umrühren bitte is hosting this months Sugar High Friday and she has declared it ?pudding Friday?. That?s right, pudding, in any form.At first, I thought ?great! Then reality set in. There are sooo many variations of pudding. I just couldn?t decide. Did I want something chocolate-y? Mousse? Steamed? Decisions, decisions. I procrastinated so long that the choice was made for me. Earlier in the week, I had made ?raisin bread? and it had gotten stale. Instead of throwing it out, I rejuvenated it by turning it into delicious raisin bread pudding. I really didn?t have to add too much to the custard since the bread had a lot of flavor on its own. I did add a handful of raisins just because I really like raisins. I ate a slice for breakfast with coffee and it was fab.So grab your stale bread and join in the fabulousness of Sugar High Friday~ Pudding . You have until December 24, 2007 to ...

Spicy Pistachio Truffles
2007-12-11 17:56:00
If you're a chocolate lover, you know there's chocolate and then there's truffles. Chocolate is something you enjoy and share with others. And truffles? Well, lets just say, that truffles turn the best of us into greedy chocolate addicts that hide their stash behind law encyclopedias. If you know of a person who fits that description, then this is your Christmas gift to them.Earlier this week I received my Christmas gift from my friend K. In this wonderful box of sugar delights was a bar of Montezuma's dark chili chocolate. I wanted to use it in a way that would highlight the dark and spiciness of the chocolate. At first, I thought a buttercream for a cupcake would be great. Hmm? No, something better. Then I remembered what K. said, "...the heat slowly builds up as you eat the chocolate". That's when it hit me ...truffles.These truffles are easy peasy. In no time, you'll have a couple of boxes of truffles for the chocolate lovers in your life. The truffle base is a mixture of ...

Cinnamon Rice Pudding
2007-12-09 06:50:00
When I was little, I knew Christmas was near when my mom?s rice pudding made an appearance. It would first appear at Thanksgiving and continue until New Years Day. My mom would give me a cup of hot pudding, yes ?hot, because I couldn?t wait for it to cool down. It was the perfect combination of cream and cinnamon. For the grown ups, she would soak the raisins in hot water and dark Meyer?s Rum. Either way it was a real Christmas treat. Getting the recipe was not a treat.When I asked for the recipe, she gladly sent it. Arborio rice, cinnamon stick, cinnamon, vanilla bean, skim milk, heavy cream, sugar. That?s how she sent the recipe. (Agh!) Now, I?m calling long distance to Florida. I ask her ?how much rice? Her response: "handful". ?Mom, I?m 5 feet tall with small hands, you?re 5?11 with larger hands.? ??Oh? she says. We chat as she searches for measuring utensils. Finally, she finds a liquid measuring cup. I sigh and say ok, use it. She starts to measure and I hear "...well it's...

Guava Gelee

Whew, just barely made it in time for Peabody?s housewarming party. Peabody recently purchased a new home and is having a virtual house warming party. And has invited everyone who reads her blog. Hmm, what to bring? I figured I would save Peabody some extra work and make ?guava gelee candies? as "thank you gifts" for all the guests. I have to go now because I still have bags to fill. I?ll see you at Peabody?s party!

Faux Fruitcake
2007-12-03 20:36:00
Thatâ€™s right, faux fruitcake. As, I've mentioned before, after hearing about my friend Kâ€™s real Christmas cake, Iâ€™ve been wanting one. Nevertheless, I was too late to start one of my own. Then while browsing my favorite blogs, I noticed people making butter rum cakes. â€œOooohâ€ â€¦Butter Rum Pound Cake. I checked to see if I had all the ingredients, butter â€¦check, rum â€¦check, eggs â€¦check, cake mix from a box â€¦check, wait ...what? Cake from a box? Oh, no. I canâ€™t. I wonâ€™t.I know some cakes mixes are â€¦okay. Itâ€™s just that I donâ€™t want to bake from a box. I like to know what Iâ€™m eating. On the other hand, should I say, I like to be able to pronounce what Iâ€™m eating. I generally like to bake as organically as I can. Through trial and error, I know that organic powdered sugar doesnâ€™t work well when making icing. It doesnâ€™t mean I wonâ€™t try a new brand of organic powdered sugar if I see it. One day theyâ€™ll make it great and Iâ€™ll give up my C&H...

Applesauce-Chocolate Chip Bundt Cake
2007-11-29 22:26:00
Awhile back, okay weeks, I bought a jar of applesauce. I was intent on making apple cupcakes, I think. I was always too busy or not in the mood for cupcakes. (On a side note: I know I have not baked cupcakes for awhile. The reason is, I know longer have co-workers. No, do not worry. I have decided to take a sabbatical before I pursue a job that actually relates to what I am currently going to school for.) However, I digress. The jar of applesauce has been staring at me for weeks. Every single time I went into my baking pantry I could feel it looking at me. I could feel its need to be baked into something glorious. Well, I hope I have appeased my apple friend.I was drawn to this recipe because it called for black pepper. Yep, black pepper in cake. Some how the black pepper gives the cake a certain spicy kick. It seems to ?wake up? the apples. It is a really good holiday cake. I can picture it now ?eggnog, hot toddies, champagne, Christmas music, and my family enjoying this wonderful ...

Daring Baker's: Potato Bread
2007-11-26 09:00:00
This month the Daring Baker s take on the world of bread. Our host this month is Tanna of My Kitchen In Half Cups. She chose for us a potato bread recipe from Home Baking: The Artful Mix of Flour & Tradition Around the World by Jeffrey Alford and Naomi Duguid. Thanks for hosting Tanna! On to the bread.Wow! Was this dough sticky! I just kind of plopped it into the bread pans and called it a day. Did I mention this was my first ever-yeasted baked good? By the time, I wrangled the dough into the pans I so was over this whole baking your own bread. Then a little bit of time goes by and this wonderful smell starts to fill the kitchen. People start to ask ?what are you baking? I respond bread ?potato bread. By the time the loaves come out of the oven I have an audience. Everyone ?oohs? and ?aahs? over fresh bread being taken out of the oven. Before I can even say ?stop! Do not eat that, I still need to photograph the bread! It was too late; butter, pumpkin butter, and sliced meats had ...

Strawberry Jam Crumb Bars
2007-11-20 08:48:00
Please do not let my lack of photography skills keep you from trying these cookies (bars). They are simply the greatest bar-cookies I have ever had. I am completely amazed. No matter what I type, I will not be able to do these cookies justice. They recipe can easily be changed to whatever filling your heart desires. Oh, and the recipe makes a ton of cookies. I only made half but I will be making a full batch for the holidays with apricot or peach jam. If I were not a college student, I would easily slap a ?money back guarantee? on these cookies.So there you go, a must make, must try, hypothetical money back guarantee cookie recipe.

White Chocolate-Butterscotch Cookies
2007-11-13 09:38:00
As I?ve mentioned before, I am completely in Christmas mode. Nothing else occupies my time or thoughts right now. I am on a cookie baking, packaging, shipping, journey. However, lately my friend Katie has peaked my interest in a Christmas/Fruit cake recipe. I think it?s too late for me to start a real Christmas cake. Where was I? Oh yeah, Christmas. Every year I send out cookie tins containing 12 different types of cookies. (I will post a complete directory with photos and recipes a couple weeks before Christmas in case you need a couple good cookie recipes.) Every holiday season I search for 12 cookie recipes that will essentially become Christmas gifts.From day one, I never had any interest in making this cookie. White Chocolate -Butters cotch Cookie s ?boring. That?s what the recipe said to me. Therefore, I kept skipping over it for about a year or so. Finally, out boredom I baked the cookie. Which turned out not to be so boring. Huh? That?s right; this simple cookie is full of so ...

Pumpkin Bars
2007-11-06 19:34:00
I know you need another pumpkin recipe like you need a hole in your head. I am currently working on a pumpkin angel food cake recipe for a friend and had a little pumpkin left over that I had to use right away. I have a recipe for pumpkin bars but it called for more pumpkin than I had. What to do? ?Google? pumpkin bars of course! I found this recipe on the Cooking Light website. It?s actually not that bad for you; very little fat for the amount of bars it yields. The recipe title is misleading though, when I think of bars, I think brownies or blondies. These little ?bars? are more like cake, ?pumpkin snack cake maybe? What ever these are they are quite delicious with a cup of coffee. Happy baking!Pumpkin Bars Ingredients6 tablespoons butter, melted and cooled1 3/4 cups sugar3 large eggs1 cup canned pumpkin1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon1 teaspoon baking soda1/2 teaspoon baking powder1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg1 package (8 oz.) cream cheese, at room temperat...

You have probably noticed the new header at Gigi?s. Do not worry it?s temporary. The header does come with a warning so, it here goes ?I love the holidays! Christmas cards, shopping, and holiday cookie baking. Wishing everyone Season?s Greetings or Merry Christmas. ??There'll be parties for hosting, marshmallows for toasting, and caroling out in the snow. There'll be scary ghost stories and tales of the glories of Christmases long, long ago. It's The most wonderful time of the year. There'll be much mistle-toeing and hearts will be glowing when love ones are near. It's The Most Wonderful Time Of The Y-e-a-r!?I didn?t think I?d be able to hit that last note! I?ve been a busy elf these last couple of days. All the Christmas decorations are up and my home is holiday ready. I know it?s tad early but, I really do enjoy the holidays. I promise this is the only time of the year where I get a little ?crazy?. Even Mr. Gigi Cakes has finally given up the fight of ??it?s too early for...

Daring Bakers October Challenge: Bostini Cream Pie
2007-10-29 22:49:00
Whew! What a dare! That?s right this month marks my first entry as a Daring Baker . Mary of Alpineberry was our lovely host this month. She chose Bostini Cream Pie for our monthly dare. Yum! Then fear and anxiety set in. First, I have never made a successful chiffon cake (until now). Oh, I had my worries and doubts. I was so sure it was not going to work out for me; that I bought 5 dozen eggs and a half gallon of heavy cream. Everything worked out in the first run through so, if you need to borrow a pint of cream or a dozen eggs stop on by.The chiffon cake is unbelievable; it?s like rich angel food cake with a hint of orange. Mmm! Like the chiffon cake, I had never made pastry cream that had to set either. This is where it got tricky. The problem was that I had a ton of ramekins all the same size, but I was not sure what size they were. (I ended up with 16 tiny Bostini Cream Pies). I knew that I was going to be giving away all but two of the Bostini?s. My plan was to place the cream ...

Waiter There's Something In My ......

I just made it, whew! Andrew of Spittoon Extra is hosting "Wait er There?s Some thing In My ?.Layered Cake. I love making cakes, but here at casa de Gigi Cakes it?s just not practical. You see it just Mr. Gigi Cakes and me; no kids or pets. No one to feed leftovers to. That is the reason I waited almost to the end to bake a cake. I will admit that I procrastinated for a while. I kept telling myself somewhere out there, there is a recipe for a small layered cake. Then on Tuesday, my King Arthur Bakers Companion arrived. [I am completely smitten with this book right now!] I immediately flipped to the cake section of the book and came across a white cake recipe. White cake recipes are my arch enemy.White cakes always have steps that if not properly done the cake will flop. It is the beating if the egg whites and then folding without deflating them. If you slightly over beat the egg whites it impossible to fold them in. You have to watch the egg whites like hawk when they are in the mixer...

Retro Recipe Challenge #9
2007-10-21 19:43:00
Dolores of Culinary Curiosity is co-hosting this months Retro Reci pe Challenge #9 with Laura Rebecca. The recipe must have been published before 1980 and contain sugar. Well, I stepped into my way, way, way back machine and found this recipe from 1925. According to Food Reference Website it?s the 1925 winner of the Hawaiian Pineapple Company Recipe Contest, which is now known as, Dole. The website provides a nice history about how the contest was held, who judged, and the winning recipe. A nice piece of Americana. There's still time to participate, the challenge ends on October 26, 2007. On October 31st look for the round up of all the sugar soaked recipes.The cake itself was phenomenal! I made mine in a square cast iron skillet. The brown sugar and butter created a nice crumb top, similar to that of coffee cake. The cake part tasted like a butter cake to me. I can see why this cake has been popular for decades. The maraschino cherries were optional and I opted not to put them in...

Pineapple Coconut Cupcakes
2007-10-16 22:41:00
One of things that I really enjoy is baking birthday cakes for my friends. Except, when it is 100*degrees outside. This unfortunately, happened a lot this summer. It was so hot this summer that I gave out ?I owe you one birthday cake, and in tiny print: redeemable only in fall* and by fall I mean October? birthday cards. This week one of the birthday ?cards? was redeemed. The birthday girl requested coconut cake (cupcakes) with pineapple coconut icing.The cake was delicate and coconut scented. The icing was light and not overly sweet, even with all the coconut. In addition, the icing is fat-free if you omit the coconut. I packed the cupcakes in a clear cupcake box (disposable) with a big yellow ribbon and small birthday note. The birthday girl was very happy and pleased to receive her much belated birthday cupcakes. The only complaint I have, is that I did not make a batch for myself. Enjoy!Adapted from Real Simple1 ¼ cups flour1 teaspoon baking powderPinch of salt7 tablespoons of ...

Cranberry Scones
2007-10-12 20:17:00
Hmm. It is hard to admit failure when you are so close to victory. This morning I got up a 4 am because I wanted to have a fresh scone with my morning coffee. The recipe sounded great, I even had all the ingredients on hand. (Yes!) Hmm, two hour chill time? No problem. So, there I am at 4:00 in the morning making scones. It?s still dark outside, the temperature is around 55*degrees. Great scone weather. At 4:30 am, the scones go into the freezer for their 2 two hour chill time. Cool. This gives me enough time to drive over to the Rose Bowl for a quick three-mile run/walk. When I get back, I hop in the shower, get dressed, preheat the oven and wait for ?scone time?. Finally the moment I?ve been waiting for 6:30 am. Yes! The scones go into oven; I set the timer, and wait. At the 5-minute mark, I start the coffee.Ding! It?s time! I open the oven door, pull out my scones, and ?ugh. Are they supposed to be this ugly? They?re not this ugly at the coffee shop. (Are they?) I don?t know. Th...

Double Chocolate Cookies
2007-10-05 20:24:00
As I?ve mentioned before, I love to give out cookies for the holidays. Don?t laugh, I refer to them as the ?twelve days of cookies?. For weeks I bake cookie recipes that have caught my eye, or that just seemed to scream ?I?m delicious!? The cookies that I love go into a ?Yes!? pile. The ?yes? pile has to meet certain criteria besides being yummy. One of the big deal breakers is when a cookie is not shippable. You see, most of the cookies are shipped across the country. So they must arrive intact, no crumbs allowed. Which brings me to this lovely cookie.This cookie is the result of a sugar cookie and a brownie merging together to create a new dessert life form. The cookie is soft and buttery, like a sugar cookie, but the center is chocolate-y and fudgy like a brownie. It?s like two desserts rolled into one! The recipe is also very easy to make and has very few ingredients. I did make one variation from the recipe. Instead of melting the butter with 4 ounces of milk chocolate I used ...

I love pumpkin _____, just fill in the blank. I love it all pies, cookies, cakes, you name it. Pumpkin s to me are the first sign that the holidays are just a hop, skip, and a jump away. For me, I 'll be baking to my hearts content until the New Year. My friends on the other hand probably dread this time of year. You see they are my guinea pigs for all the baking I do. But they take it stride; they wear their "stretchy pants" and have another cookie or cupcake. If I had the money I would give them all gym memberships as "thank you gifts" for eating all the baked goods. Until then if you see a group of people jogging/walking around the Rose Bowl, that's us burning off all the holiday goodies soon to come.Pumpkin Pie Cupcakesadapted from Martha Stewartmakes 20-221 cup pumpkin puree1 1/2 cups flour1 cup sugar1 teaspoon of baking soda1 teaspoon of baking powder1 teaspoon kosher salt2 1/2 teaspoon of pumpkin pie spice1/2 cup of canola oil3 extra large eggsPreheat the oven to 350F degre...

I can no longer resist the temptation. You know who you are fellow bloggers, blogging about sinfully decadent brownies.

There were fudge-y brownies from Apple & Spice, ricotta brownies from Alpineberry, marbled brownies from All things Edible and so on.One particular brownie seemed to call my name. The marbled cheesecake brownie. Brownie ...good, cheesecake ...good, together ...OMG! The recipe is from Gourmet magazine and can be found here. Really, these are so good that you won't be able to quietly eat them. Enjoy!P.S. I would also like to thank Jenn the Left Over Queen for adding me to The Foodie BlogRoll.

Chocolate Chip Mint

It's been a long time time since I posted a cupcake. The last couple of weeks have been very busy. School started and I have tons of reading to do. Which is hard when your textbooks are trapped in a warehouse somewhere in Vermont. Hopefully, they'll be shipped soon.Then I became obsessed with blueberry muffins! I had wanted to share the muffins with my fellow classmates. You see, we arrive at school an hour or so before class. No, we're not that nerdy. The parking at school is a nightmare. If you don't get there at the crack of dawn, you'll never find a spot. We usually grab a table in the cafeteria and drink our weight in coffee. I thought a muffin would be a nice addition to our routine. But it took a couple of tries before I was successful with the muffins.Now that the stress of the muffin failure is over, I can concentrate on cupcakes! This week I decided to make chocolate chip mint cupcakes. These are one of my favorite cupcakes. I've made the cupcakes from different choc...
