The choice was not mine. Like many things in life, I could not find something that interested me this week, so I let someone else choose. I also made them on Sunday instead of Saturday. The chosen cupcake included liquor I don’t care for, with many kinds of almonds, and pineapple. The gentleman chooser has since decided that he is most definitely allergic to almonds.
It was a fun new thing to try though. Although, if I could go back and do things over, I’d make sure my amaretto could flambé and the pineapple was ready before I warmed up the sugar. You live, you learn. I did get to try the amaretto my aunt made me for Christmas once though.
They were topped with really plain whipped cream, so we added a little vanilla and some sugar. Had I not been afraid that he was allergic to almonds, I probably would have halved the vanilla and added a little bit of almond extract, but anaphylactic shock is scary to me.
They look pretty. Not as pretty as Martha’s, but I can handle this. I also ran out of time. So many problems. But they were nice to look at.
Psh, anaphylactic shock is laughable. No big deal. (Those look taaaasty.)
