Felicia Posted February 1, 2016 Author Share Posted February 1, 2016 I made cupcakes tonight! I mentioned to Gena that I was planning to bake this weekend, so she asked me to share a photo. For those of you who don't know, I love to make fancy cupcakes. I just haven't had much time lately with how busy I've been, but I really got the itch to bake. So anyways, here is my latest creation... Strawberry Shortcake Cupcakes IMG_1529 by Felicia Svedlund, on Flickr They are vanilla bean cupcakes with strawberry filling and homemade strawberry whipped cream. 9 Quote Link to comment

Yummy, those would sure go with my mocha flavored coffee I am having right now. Alas I must settle for a piece of raisin bread (which is still good) but not as good as your cupcakes I am sure! 2 Quote Link to comment

I'm going to need that recipe!!! They look way tastier than my banana bread . 1 Quote Link to comment

Alas I must settle for a piece of raisin bread (which is still good) but not as good as your cupcakes I am sure!Haha! Sorry to taunt you with cupcakes first thing in the morning Raisin bread is yummy! Can you make those again for MACNA????? They would be nice in the evening with our drinks . I love that they are vanilla bean..I can see the little vanilla bean flakes in the cake . I'm going to need that recipe!!! They look way tastier than my banana bread . Id love to but I'm not sure how they'd survive the drive! These have to be refrigerated and served chilled because of the whipped cream and strawberry filling. Maybe I'll make one of my other cupcake recipes, like the margarita cupcakes . Yeah last time I made these, I just used vanilla extract, but this time I went all out and used an actual vanilla bean. Always so much yummier but a bit expensive. I can pm you the recipe And I doubt they're better than your banana bread. People go crazy over banana bread! 3 Quote Link to comment

Lizzie1324 Posted February 2, 2016 Share Posted February 2, 2016 That write up is awesome! I could totally see my boyfriend and I doing a large predator build with stuff like this....it's so unique, and the interaction is great. How often do you free your babies? I too show your tank off to people to show just how exotic saltwater reef keeping is! (As if putting coral in a 20L isn't enough) 1 Quote Link to comment
Felicia Posted February 2, 2016 Author Share Posted February 2, 2016 OMG THIS SOUNDS AMAZING. I might have to come to MACNA just for these! They're pretty fun cupcakes. They're vanilla cupcakes with lime and tequila. Then there is tequila brushed on the top while they're still hot after baking. Then the frosting is tequila-lime buttercream and then finally garnished with salt. They really taste like a margarita in cupcake form That write up is awesome!

I too show your tank off to people to show just how exotic saltwater reef keeping is! (As if putting coral in a 20L isn't enough) Thank you! Glad you found it helpful. I feed them about 3 times a week. Feeding is super interactive because I hand feed each of them with the feeding tongs. And yes, all reef keeping is pretty exotic!

gena Posted February 2, 2016 Share Posted February 2, 2016 Is the lime just decoration or do you squeeze the juice onto the cupcake?

Mirya Posted February 2, 2016 Share Posted February 2, 2016 I saw the article on ReefBuilders and just checked out the Instagram. There are some really cute fish drawings too. This, for example, is the most innocent looking 6-Line I have ever seen! https://www.instagram.com/p/9LQjHpqTi2/?taken-by=comiquarium 2 Quote Link to comment

I wonder how solid your recipe is, if it can be altered for almost any fruit... I'm thinking peaches! 1 Quote Link to comment
Felicia Posted February 2, 2016 Author Share Posted February 2, 2016 Those cupcakes look sooooo good!! I wonder how solid your recipe is, if it can be altered for almost any fruit... I'm thinking peaches! I bet you could use peaches! The filling is very translatable to different fruit. I actually use basically that same process to make fruit sauce for my cheesecake. I've made blueberry, blackberry, raspberry, and strawberry sauce. I bet peaches would work! The cupcake part would stay the same and then you'd just have peach homemade whipped cream, which sounds tasty. You should try it! 2 Quote Link to comment
Felicia Posted February 2, 2016 Author Share Posted February 2, 2016 MASNA put out a really interesting educational article on the invasive lionfish problem in the Atlantic. It was definitely a good read if anyone is interested. http://masna.org/masna-programs/lionfish-education/ 1 Quote Link to comment
