Dave turned 33 this week and deemed it his Larry Bird birthday as Mr. Bird boasted the number #33 during his carreer with the Boston Celtics. (I'm not into basketball but rolled with it.)
His request was strawberry cupcakes so I pulled out the Bronski's
Artisanal Gluten Free Cupcakes Cookbook which I
had picked up and loved since June and the kitchen aid whirled into action. I've become a huge fan of measuring flours using my new scale and my baking has been spot on.
Thankfully the Bronski's also included high altitude adjustments for cupcakes in the cookbook as well.
I picked a great quart of strawberries up at the local grocer and added them to this beautiful batter.
which became a stunning cupcake after a stint in the oven..
a bit of vanilla frosting and green food coloring added the Celtics flare that Dave was looking for...
as well as a few nicely placed #33's and a good group of friends who helped us mark the occasion at
Oak's.
