Did you know that today is National Cupcake Day? The Today Show did a segment on favorite recipes from foodies and chefs. Personally, I have a craving for the first one: America’s Test Kitchen’s Chocolate cream cupcakes! How about number 3 though? Honey-baked ham cupcakes are certainly a new path for the typically frosted (and in my case, chocolate) treat! The gingerbread cupcakes with cinnamon cream cheese frosting look like a cute version of a classic cupcake to share at your next holiday party. (I’m also a big fan of cream cheese frosting!) Which one is your favorite on the page? Or what is your favorite cupcake in general??
When you’re getting into the baking spirit, keep in mind some of these baking safety rules from ehow.com:
- Make sure you measure ingredients properly and do not over-bake your goodies! Your food is best stored in the refrigerator at temperatures of 40 degrees Fahrenheit or lower. Make sure you’re washing your hands after touching raw food.
- Clean up your spills in a timely manner. Keep unused appliances unplugged to avoid electrical fires.
- The stove and oven can cause burns on you and can start fires in the kitchen. Keep flammable items away from the hot surfaces.
- Dress properly in a kitchen. Do not wear long necklaces or dangly bracelets that could get caught. Be mindful of the shoes that you have on your feet, and wear an apron to protect your clothing!
And of course, it’s always a good idea to have a Massachusetts Homeowner’s Insurance policy to keep you, your family, your guests and your home safe. Talk to your MA insurance agent about a policy to fit your needs. Experts at Encharter Insurance can get you a free MA Home Insurance quote and find you a policy that fits your budget.
