Let’s catch up with some German Chocolate Cupcakes for dessert

Jan 92019 By

It’s been well over a year since my last blog post.  I miss blogging and have great plans to start up again.  Actually, I’m starting up again today!  What I miss the most is sharing recipes with my readers.  Let’s catch up with what’s been going on with this “Missouri Farm Chick” and let’s have some German Chocolate Cupcakes while we are at it.

I blogged here at My Kitchen Addictions on a regular basis until August 2014 (I’m a teacher…so things change big time in the month of August.) I opened a bakery May 29, 2015 .  The name of my bakery is “BaBa Bakes Bakery.” Check out this Facebook post to learn a little more about the bakery and the name behind it.

Opening the bakery was a great opportunity for me and it became a family affair.

Unfortunately, the “Sweet Dreams” initiative, started by a local high school student as a class project, ended on October 31, 2015.  My bakery became a reality because of that incubator business project, but unfortunately  due to funding and building issues, the initiative dissolved.  I’m happy to report that this did not shatter my dreams to continue BaBa Bakes Bakery. Even though I don’t have a building…there are plans in the future to find one.  Watch my Facebook page for future news.  In the meantime, I will be located at our town’s local Main Street Farmer’s Market this summer, selling my homemade granola, granola bars, cookies and more.

Then, the 2015-16 school year began in August and my busier than ever life started.  I continued to get orders from my loyal customers.  So I am working as a school library media specialist by day and baking many nights and on weekends to fill orders.  I have two weddings and several baby showers to bake for in the near future.

For my first post in a long time, I’m going to share a recipe and some favorite photographs of that recipe, because that is what the central goal of my blog is.  The recipe I’m going to share is one of my most popular posts and one of the first flavor of cupcakes that I decided to sell at my bakery.  It was one of the most popular there too!  It’s a recipe near and dear to my heart, because it is legacy of my beloved mother.  The original blog post, which includes the recipe, can be found here.  Here are some of my favorite photographs of my mother’s German Chocolate Cupcakes (she actually made cake)….

I hope you enjoyed catching up as much as I did.  Stay posted here and at the following social networking sites.  We can’t have too many can we?   and on “My Kitchen Addictions” and “BaBa Bakes Bakery” Facebook pages.

Chocolate Chocolate Chip Zucchini Cake

Aug 52014 By

Chocolate Chocolate Chip Zucchini Bundt CakeHave you been blessed like we have with an abundance of zucchini this year? Our garden has provided, along with friends and family. I have enjoyed all the recipes being shared by friends on Facebook and Pinterest. Traditionally, I make Zucchini Bread each season…usually more than once. This year, I went outside my comfort zone and experimented with other recipes that included a main ingredient of zucchini. One such recipe for Zucchini Lasagna, shared with me by my daughter-in-law, is pinned to make very soon. According to Angela…it’s delicious.

Two very special friends just had birthdays and I chose to make them this Chocolate Chocolate Chip Zucchini Bundt Cake. I remembered I had pinned a recipe for a Chocolate Zucchini Cake from a favorite blog I follow on a regular basis…Cookies & Cups. The only changes I made were the cake pan, baking pan and name of recipe. Make sure you make note of the revised baking time. I loved the results and hope you do too!

Oatmeal Pancakes

Mar 292014 By

Oatmeal Pancakes | My Kitchen Addictions

Saturday mornings are a favorite of mine! Sleeping in just a little later, homemade breakfast without a rush and Food Network on the television are just some of the reasons I love Saturdays so much! I sometimes plan ahead and make something special, but many times I use what I have on hand and make a quick, simple staple for breakfast. These Oatmeal Pancakes are just that staple! They are easy to make and just a little healthier than the traditional ones I typically prepare. OatmealPancakesPMWhat I like best is I can make the batter for these pancakes in the food processor and pour it right on a hot griddle.
