Yesterday we attended a party for our friend Kyle, who graduated Friday with his Masters from UMKC. The party was at a beautiful little house owned by a co-worker of his (Kyle works at the Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art) off the Plaza. We ate yummy appetizers and hung out enjoying the beautiful weather. One of the best things about the party though, were the cupcakes. The hostess had ordered lovely little treats from Babycakes in the River Market. They were fantastic. Beautifully simple and heavenly delicious in flavors like Orange Dreamcicle and Chocolate with peanut butter frosting. Even Red Velvet with cream cheese frosting. I immediately fell in love with them. And then today I found it necessary to make my own. I made my own version of the Orange Dreamcicle (from a box, of course, because let's face it - I love Betty Crocker) with orange cream cheese frosting. I made the frosting from scratch and used orange zest to give it a little orange blossom flavor. Thanks to Jason who lent me an orange for that purpose. He knows to just give me whatever I need because that means he gets to enjoy the finished product. We'll be heading down there for dinner this evening and I will be bringing a tray full of orange blossom cupcakes!
Now, how do I get a job at Babycakes??
