Culinary school is proving to be no easy feat, and my 3 inch binder is already busting at the seams with papers, recipes, articles, and several knife cuts. It’s been a whirlwind of information over the last four weeks yet also a ton of fun. If I could summarize all of the lectures I’ve had so far, it would come down to only a few key ideas. Using high quality ingredients is the most important part of your cookery and truly makes all the difference. It’s one of the many ways you can show your loved ones how important they are to you, your cupcakes will be healthier for it, and lastly, they will taste divine.
And let me tell you, these are no Duncan Hines cupcakes. Adapted from an Ina Garten recipe and topped with a milk chocolate caramel frosting, they are made with high quality, local, fresh ingredients. Plus, they look delicious.
