food for...well, food thoughts

We have now reached the point where you are going to learn another one of the things I love, besides Jesus and media and history and mysteries. That is food, mostly desserts. I'm an avid baker and want to own a bakery and cafe one day. I'm also thinking of working in a food ministry. So I'm going to start posting food-related stuff, as well as posts about my baking adventures. So here's the first one.
There was this crazy dessert marathon on the Food Network today. In the course of watching it, and drooling, my mom and I made some discoveries.
1. Making those designs in the foam of coffee is a lot harder than it looks. Even a simple heart. I appreciate baristas a lot more.
2. Savory cupcakes. Say whaaat? Yes, a woman is making savory cupcakes. She makes one out of a little meatloaf cake topped with angel hair pasta and marinara sauce. Another is a salmon cake with wasabi mashed potatoes on top. They're brilliant.
3. Dessert spaghetti and meatballs. I know, everything is going in reverse! They're little balls made out of vanilla and chocolate cakes, put on top of buttercream noodles and topped with raspberry sauce. Again, a brilliant idea.

P.S. I just got a new cake pan yesterday for making checkerboard cakes and I can't wait to try it out! I'll make sure to take pictures. Stay tuned.
