I did something this New Year's Eve that I never do! Kevin was at a wedding with the cupcake trailer and Opal was with my parents for a few days. The house was eerily quiet, so I curled up on the sofa & turned on the TV (not Dora, not Yo Gabba Gabba, not Angelina Ballerina, but "regular" TV!). I was striving for a mindless, relaxing activity after a long work weekend. However I ended up propped up with a notebook and pencil in hand as I watched the Cooking Channel. Instead of it being mindless, it was inspiring and educational (whoever said TV was bad?). After watching a segment on a pie company in NY, "the Crazy" was born in my head. It's inspired from a non baked, rich, crunchy pie filling.
the "Crazy"...chocolate cake, filled with a graham cracker / candy bar "truffle" (basically a dark chocolate and butterscotch ball of goodness), topped with chocolate sauce & a dollop of vanilla bean frosting.
After seeing a cupcake named, the "crazy" on our weekly menu, one of our sweet customers suggested we come up with a flavor called "Absurd"...any ideas on what that should be???
