New Mixer and Ebelskiver 9/18/10

I finally took the plunge recently and made a few purchases that I had been wanting to make for a long time.  I am now the proud owner of a shiny new KitchenAid stand mixer.  I have coveted one of these literally for years.  Here it is in all of its majesty:

Whoopie Pies 8/29/10

Last Sunday I got together with some friends and we went to a wine festival at Linganore Winecellars out in The Middle of Nowhere, MD.  And what pairs better with wine than some delicious cake?  Since we were going to be outdoors, I wanted to make something that we could eat with our hands and that I could transport easily.  I eventually settled on the Two Fat Cats Whoopie Pie from Rose's Heavenly Cakes.



I've made this recipe several times and it's become my fallback for events or small gatherings.  It keeps well a people really love it.  Here are all of the ingredients for the cake lined up and ready to go.
