Cupcakes are ready for tomorrow, both DIY "blanks" and a small assortment of minis (too hot to do a lot), plus some whoopie pies. Through whipping up my big new goodie for tomorrow's Bryn Athyn Bounty farm market - ICE POPS! With temps set to soar past 100F, seemed a merciful treat to include in my standard fare. (The weather is supposed to stay in the 90s through Sunday ~ they're toying with us, promising temps in the 80s next week; alas, no real rain on the horizon for another 10 days. And it's only early July!)
Hoped they'd be refreshing, but am utterly delighted with how downright tasty they are! Enjoyed the Green Tea & Mango; now working my way through a Cranberry Lemonade & Pineapple. Just peeled off a pineapple chunk - deelicious! Anchored with club soda, letting the yellow shine through. The differently colored layers look snappy.
The two coffee varieties - Vietnamese (espresso with sweetened condensed milk) and Mexican (espresso with light brown sugar, milk, cinnamon, almond extract) - are straightforward, no layering. Ditto for the lemonade.
Looking forward to doing Bounty tomorrow, but mega excited that two weeks from TODAY is our show opening!! Curtain up! Light the lights! We've got nothing to hit but the heights! Starting here, starting now, baby everything's coming up roses!!
Almost forgot - gotta go down & check to see if the pops are ready for their lolly sticks!!
UPDATE ~ Vietnamese Coffee is taking A LONG time to set. Through it into the blender with a about a cup of ice cubes. Hey, it actually tastes even better! Here's hoping it sets up faster.
