I am looking for a good Valentine's day recipe to take to my office for V-day week (or thereabouts).
My idea was to make a white cake with cherries added and white chocolate frosting - but I haven't found a good recipe yet and I am not sure how cherries would cook up in a cake. Of course my workplace is the place where I 'try out' my recipes... so does it matter?
Anybody have any ideas?
Posted by 10lees at January 30, 2008 08:55 PMCupcakes are popular now... you could try chocolate cupcakes with a white chocolate frosting and a marachino cherry on top for decoration? I recently started making chocolates, which is surprisingly easy. Chocolate "bark" is the easiest -- you melt the chocolate in the microwave, then pour it onto wax paper to cool. When it is cool (in the fridge) you break it into pieces. You can use multiple colors, flavors etc., which might also be fun to play with for V-Day?
