Today is my sweetness Mom's Birthday. She's 50-something years young, as well as equally spritey as well as gorgeous equally ever! So much of what I've learned inwards the kitchen is from watching her laid upwards recipe later recipe, twelvemonth later year. She's fearless, as well as tin sack brand a hateful pan of never-fail brownies.

We celebrated this past times Sabbatum equally a solid unit of measurement at 1 of our favorite restaurants. Endless soup as well as salad? It was a tally made inwards heaven.

Each twelvemonth for her birthday, I examine to brand her a exceptional dessert. One year, it was a three-layered white-fondant covered strawberry cake amongst fondant sunflowers. It was my rattling start fourth dimension amongst fondant, as well as she was a actually adept sport well-nigh it. The side past times side year, I made this Brown Sugar Pumpkin Cheesecake - and it was freaky-delicious. Another year, I made the beast. It was in all likelihood my favorite cake I've always made, only MAN it was nuts. Martha Stewart's Ultimate Coconut Cake was iv dissever recipes to tackle. It required a lot of effort, as well as was good worth every infinitesimal (and quite the charge of butter). This year, I wanted to become amongst something rattling simple, silent elegant (we were going to live on amount to the brim amongst soup as well as salad, later all, past times the fourth dimension dessert would come upwards around.)

I decided on decadent white as well as dark cupcakes amongst gilt liners. The black was my traditional nighttime chocolate cupcake. The white was something new. I wanted to residual out the heavy, dense, nighttime chocolate amongst something low-cal as well as dreamy. Mascarpone was the perfect part for frosting, as well as added a exceptional impact of elegance to these cupcakes. I switched upwards a few ingredients on the recipe: I decided almond, for this cupcake, was a amend fit than vanilla. Also, I idea the frosting needed a flake to a greater extent than sweetness, then I added powdered sugar. Still, the frosting was rattling light, as well as countered wonderfully amongst the nighttime intense flavors on bottom.

Happy Birthday, Mom!
