Buzz Buzz My Little Humingbird

I have heard good things and and not so good things. Some things I really loved. Some things I really disliked. Either way I am gonna have a go at some of the recipes from the Hummingbird Bakery Cookbook. Number 1: I really am excited about making the icebox bars. They are just so different from the ordinary sweet treat. And we all need to change things up every once in a while...like putting on high heels even though you will be well over 6 foot if you do. It's okay!
Number 2: This book also has some good 'ol traditional recipes that will certainly please even the most old fashioned fellow. I don't know how many different recipes you need for buttercream but I guess it is nice to know that someone is always having a go at variations. Oh little hummingbird, I think we are going to have some fun together.

I plan to journey through some of the traditional cupcake recipes and of course dive into the ones that are very different from my usual kitchen escapades. Number 3: My next project is going to be making some green tea cupcakes. A friend of mine gave me a bit of Matcha and I plan to put it to use. I have made green tea muffins once before but wasn't completely satisfied with them. Hopefully this next baking trial will be a success.

Oh, and don't worry I won't spend any time in my kitchen during daylight hours this weekend. I know you were worried because you knew the forecast says highs in the upper 50s. I can't wait! I think this weekend is going to be just the thing I need. Sunshine, walks in the district, perhaps some action at Eastern Market. Stay tuned!

March 20th is the first day of spring...get excited!
