Earl grey lavender with white chocolate chips and homemade mixed berry preserves. Taste test success with minor tweaks for the future. Well, a batch of them came out flat, so I'm gonna have to adjust my recipe or freeze the dough before baking. Less sugar as well, since the white chocolate chips make the dough even sweeter. The flavor, however, is sensational. It's an instant Monster classic!
Wow. What a mouthful. This was a cake for the most loving, inspiring, intelligent and wisest man I have the privilege of knowing. There aren't many people on earth who are like him and I cherish every moment I get to spend with him. For his birthday, I decided to infuse Rooibos Chai in the frosting and Rooibos tea in the ganache—a tribute to his South African roots. Since the flavors are the star of the cake, I went with a simple and elegant look—with less frills—suited for a man with good taste. Friends, life is too short for beautiful moments (and too long for rough ones), so spend more time with the special people in your lives.
I love baking with spiced teas. They make desserts so fragrant and delicious! I find that butter cookies best showcase their aromas and delicate flavors. Question is, then, do you still need to have tea with these cookies? What a great dilemma to have! Order some today.
