Chestnut Honey Madeleines [sms]

This week's Sweet Melissa Sundays pick, Chestnut Honey Madeleines, was chosen by Debbie of Café Chibita.

It was delicious and really easy to make. Sorry for the short blogpost, but I've been moving so therefore it's been crazy busy.

Make sure to check out the rest of the SMS bakers on the blogroll.

Strawberry Cupcakes [msc]

It's been a while since I've really baked but that's due to the fact that my parents don't really like it when I bake at home. Therefore, I've been baking out of a box. Recently, since I came back up to Berkeley, I'm baking from scratch again. This time I was taking on Martha Stewart's Strawberry Cupcakes.

I had halved the recipe and made about 20. They were delicious, although a bit muffin like as always. In this case, I also subbed the milk for strawberry yogurt. In addition, instead of the buttercream, I decided to make some whipped cream to make it a bit lighter. They were gone very soon and it was delicious!

The recipe for this month's Cupcake Club is found on page 146 of Martha Stewart's Cupcake book or here. Thanks to Sherry of Sherry Starts Cooking for choosing this.
