Well, I'll jump over a few things (and I can always get back to them later on after all) to show off some cupcakes. I was wondering about doing something special for the Olympic Games that are still going on in Vancouver. Seeing as I was born and raised in Canada, albeit on the opposite coast, I am particularly interested in the Games. I would even watch it if we were not 9 hours ahead timewise, meaning that every happens when I sleep or am heading to work.
Anyway, what is typically Canadian when you think about good? MAPLE SIRUP!
What do I have in great quantities? MAPLE SIRUP!
So I seached through all my books to no avail for some delicious maple tasting muffins. Finding nothing, I ended up on the internet and finally found someone sharing the perfect recipe. I will not give a link as I doubt she has the rights to reproduce it, but I will let you know that it's in Martha Stewart's Cupcake book, which I definitely hope to buy when I have the chance (my good friend Mia owns it and I was able to flip through it when I saw her last. Some of those cupcakes look truly amazing and delicious).
Here you go, maple sirup cupcake with maple sirup buttercream and M&Ms for the traditional Olympic Rings. You can see a sample with the little Royal Canadian Mounted Beaver guarding my computer.
As an aside note, well done to all the athletes during the games! Canada and Sweden have much to be proud of. All's left to do is get that gold medal in men hockey (no, I'm not a hockey fan but I'm still Canadian and I cannot deny my heritage *grins*).
