Ditto ZMAN. But to me, that just looks like additional room to build another kitchen and bake more cupcakes, etc., for us lowly forum members!   :lol:

I actually do want to turn one or two of the storage rooms into a cottage bakery, or just build one for a commercial bakery...as we have 10 acres overall....5 undeveloped. Then I could have my three favorite things to do in one place...cars, coffee, & cupcakes!

I'm considering banning her just for torturing us with those sweet treats and that great garage!!  :drool:

 

And just for the record, I had to drive 35 miles tonight just for some KFC for dinner.  Tasted good though.  

We do not have a KFC nearby either (it is about 35÷45 minutes sway too...so I usually just make my own.

 

Oh and you don't really want to ban me...as then you won't get to see the Irish Car Bomb cupcakes that I made for a friends retirement from the Navy...or the lemon cornmeal with mixed berry compote & mixed berry swiss meringue frosting I made for a 17 year olds bday....

Also, I have a day job that I work at 40 hours each week. The detailing, selling of Adam's Polishes & Novistretch Performance Covers, and baking are all just things that I make extra time to do as it all is fun/cathartic to me.

We don't even have a bakery in our town.  You don't know how you're killing me with those pictures.  Been wanting a GOOD eclair forever.  Your friends are very lucky!   And you better know I was kidding with you about banning you.  Would never.  :cheers:

Oh I figured as much...lol.  Plus I have thicker skin than that. We have a couple bakeries, but when your friends & coworkers tell you that your cupcakes are better it does make you feel good. Funny you mention eclairs, that is on my list to make this next month, as never have done & want to see if can. Found a good espresso pastry cream recipe to try with it to.

Todays cupcake porn...Buckeye cupcake, filled with peanut butter fudge, topped with a cream cheese bittersweet chocolate frosting & Unicorn sprinkles with silver kaleidoscope glitter. The buckeye cake is almost black as use a combo of Double Dutch processed cocoa & King Arthur Flour Black Cocoa. Unicorn sprinkle because it was a new set of sprinkles found today...so had to bake something to put them on. Plus the weather has been cruddy & cold so not able to clean the Camaros so can start polishing them up for spring driving. Oh well...still have couple months before then...

A sailor who was getting out of the service today was so overwhelmed with my giving him a box of six that he about cried. He was so sweet & thankful. Am sure he and his friends enjoyed. Gives me a great feeling to make others so happy with baked goods & hopefully encourages them to make time to do things they enjoy too.

Awesome token of thanks, Lenore. Being an Air Force guy, I'll overlook his choice of service branches (;)) and celebrate his service to our country...and his shared love of delicious goodies! :cheers:  :patriot:

Hey now, I am married to a retired Sailor...lol.  Appreciate the Air Force (and all services), as that was what my Uncle Don retired from before he went and worked from Grumman where he was pne of the test pilots on the F-14!  The one he flew in is in the Grumman Aerospace hall of fame, as it actually survived the testing.

So cookie decorating is not my strongest skill...here is ones I did for super bowl along with the cupcakes. So Saturday morning am going to a King Arthur Flour Valentine Cookie Decorating class. Hopefully will learn some great tricks. As I have a Hot Wheels flame cookie cutter & Chevy bow tie cookie cutter that want to use.

Working at the firehouse today. Our probie on my shift, and at my station, came off probation last week. Traditionally the probie cooks a “high end” dinner for his shift at their respective station/crew and the shift commander. Tonight he cooked. 

I didn’t get a pic of the whole table but here is a shot of my plate. (I had more than the one crab ?)

I went to a valentine cookie decorating class on Saturday.  Was fun and nice to have someone actually walk you through the proper way to make a cookie decorating frosting.  Attached is some images of the cookies I decorated and as well of the facility signs.  Now to try baking and decorating some Chevy BowTie emblem cookes and some Hot Wheel emblem cookies, maybe even a Camaro or Corvetter emblem or two...

They look great and yummy, Lenore. Nice to see you've added a more shippable item to your line!  :)
