June 24, 2012- Tapas Dinner

Tapas Dinner

For tonight I wanted to make a special dinner to celebrate Nick's Mom's birthday so I planned a special tapas style dinner (small meals). We had a gazpacho, avocado hummus, brussel sprout pizzas on flatbread, and portabello fries with a basil aioli sauce. Everything was so delicious but we forgot to take a picture! We did manage to take a picture of our cupcakes all decorated. And there are also some pictures of the cupcakes in stages.

Here are the vanilla agave cupcakes out of the oven.

Here is the strawberry compote cooling in the fridge.

This is the balsamic reduction cooking away on the stove.

And the final product: a vanilla agave cupcake with a strawberry compote filling, a mascarpone frosting, fresh strawberry on top and a balsamic reduction drizzle. YUM!
