Too much of a good thing is wonderful


So I was adventurous and made flourless chocolate cupcakes... It took me two rounds to get them right. My girlfriends and I are going out and having a bit of a party tonight with drinks and cupcakes to celebrate my birthday. So, I made the cupcakes and I figured, since it's my bday, I should go big, right? So, I made flourless chocolate cupcakes with mascarpone icing. The first batch totally sunk through the middle b/c they were big, made with an oversized muffin tin. They were so rich that I almost felt sick after 4 bites. So, with the next batch I used a regular sized muffin tin and they turned out much better. Making cupcakes for myself for my birthday was great, felt self-indulgent to make something so heavy, rich and loaded with fat. But life should be celebrated and eaten with gusto right? If I'm going to have a full plate in life, I want it loaded with good food, and especially lots of cupcakes.
