Wow. Every time I read your recipes I am plainly in awe. And honestly, even if they come out botched (by yours truly, that is) I don’t think this could ever be a total failure… mmmm…… truffles….

I’d like one chile-espresso and one matcha-sesame, please?

(And, have I not been paying attention? Your kitchen is adorable. :) )

Thanks, Anita. If I hadn’t left the cupcakes in the sun to get all wonky-looking, I would send some up to you.

I have been reading your blog for months and it happens to be one of my favorites. It is about time I commented and voiced my appreciation.

Your cupcakes are inspirational and cultivate a sense of playfulness, experimentation and adventure not to mention that your cupcakes look luscious, beautiful and delicious. Thanks so much for opening my eyes (I am still very much a cooking and baking novice, but your blog and others encourage anyone who loves food to get into the kitchen)!

By the way, congratulations on the birth of your daughter earlier this summer!

This is amazing. I had never heard of a chocolate tempering machine, and now I think it is the answer to all of my prayers. I tried tempering last year by using the add in piece-by-piece method and it blew, and broke anyhow and I swore it off forever. I can be a wee dramatic when it comes to my own failures.

It was so much fun meeting you a couple weeks ago at our long, long dinner. I felt so bad you had to bail! But I’m glad we got to gab and eat gabagoul.

Maybe some rosewater added to the pistachio-rose would help? I recently have developed an obssession with rose flavors, it’s just so delicious and distinctive in turkish delight or baklava. I had some really amazing lemonade that was also rose flavored.

oh, that is such a good idea, with the toppings decoration. no guess work as to what the flavor will be, unlike those boxes of chocolates where you always pick the nasty banana cream one… although, all of your flavor combinations seem so wonderful, each would be a pleasant surprise even without the identifiers!

May I ask where you got your ginja? did you bring it from Portugal or find it here? We were in Lisbon 1 year ago and didn’t bring any back, and now I wish I had.

3 sticks of butter? I just can’t imagine eating that much grease in 25 cupcakes…I’d use some shortening or oil for some of that.

Hey! I’d just like to say how I fell in love with baking even more when I read your blog. It’s really inspirational how you put together such beautiful and edible things that everybody enjoys - even if they don’t bake! I do hope you put up another site. I’ll will surely wait for the day when it finally happens. Thanks a million!
