Weekly Mix: Mini Desserts

Friday, April 5, 2013

I must confess that I have a weakness for miniature desserts. There's just something about tiny tarts and cupcakes and such that make me so very happy. I'm guessing that I'm not alone in my appreciation of those little desserts, so I've put together a list of some of my favorite mini dessert recipes.

A few weeks ago, I bought a jar of Biscoff Spread with no real plans for it. For those of you unfamiliar with the product, it's a spread made from those Biscoff cookies eaten by anyone who has ever flown Delta. Quinn loves those Biscoff cookies so much that I usually just give him my pack and go for the peanuts instead. Still, there's no denying their deliciousness. Their caramel-y, cinnamon-y flavor is a true winner.

Despite the rumblings that cupcake excitement is dwindling, I am still a believer. I don't make them all that often, but you can believe that they are the first things I peruse at a bakery. These cupcakes are just about perfect for summer. A whole bunch of strawberries live happily inside a tender, moist cake. The white chocolate frosting is a delicious complement to all that berry goodness.

While these cupcakes might not offer anything revolutionary in the baking realm, they do a very good job of being that magical combination of simple and delicious. These are also my favorite kind of cupcakes to bake. I don't really get into full-out decorating. Honestly, my frosting skills are a bit lacking as well. I do go the traditional route now and then, but these are the kinds of cupcakes that generally warrant a bookmark from me.

In a strange turn of events, it seems I have baked something with neither chocolate nor nuts. For those of you who are astonished, I think I may have redeemed myself by the presence of cream cheese frosting. I am further redeemed by the perfection that is these cupcakes. Oh, my, but they're good. Basically, these lovely little pound cakes are loaded with brown sugar, creating a wonderful caramel-like flavor. Then, they are topped off with an amazingly simple, delicious cream cheese frosting that features even more brown sugar.
