Hot From The Kettle ®
Betty Crocker and Duncan Hines are two of my Grandmother's biggest heroes. She's a huge fan of boxed cake mix! In fact, she thinks it's absolutely ridiculous when I insist on making a cake from scratch.
Here's the second recipe out of Grandma's Recipe box, a very decadent confection, Death By Chocolate! Although it's incredibly easy, relying heavily on instant ingredients - boxed cake mix, instant mousse and Cool Whip - the tall, chocolately Trifle makes a very impressive appearance.
Laura Himmelein, is not a pastry chef, she’s a confectionery architect!
Laura is the owner Maplewood based Partycake-Partycake, a custom baking company that specializes in creating whimsical and delicious desserts.
Laura recently spent a morning in the Kettle kitchen baking up a batch of Valentine themed Fudgy Sweetheart Brownie Bites. Laura’s brownie recipe is very quick and simple, and yields a chewy, fudgy, cocoalicious brownie.
Take a look at the video to see Laura’s interpretation of nostalgic Sweetheart candies via Brownie.
Partycake Partycake's Fudgey Brownie BitesOn the heels of a five day juice fast, I had a shoot this morning with the confectionary architect, owner of Maplewood's Partycake-Partycake, Laura Himmelein.
Laura baked up her Fudgey Sweetheart Brownie Bites, and the aroma was a chocoholic dream. I was eating vicariously through my oldfactory senses!
