Sugar Fantasies


Among friends, I am know for my extreme love for sugar (One summer, for a week, I lived off of birthday cake).  Not only do I love eating sugar, but I enjoy creating ideas for desserts ( or combinations) and I thought I should list if but a few of them...:

1. One might think waffles a breakfast food, which they are, but toppings are usually items like fruit, whipped cream and butter. (As pictured above and taste better than they look) Blueberry waffles and frosting are absolutely delicious and I highly recommend trying the combination. 

2. (I haven't actually made this one but I plan to one day.) Okay, Imagine baking a dozen cupcakes all oozing the essence of chocolate. They're already better than good right? 'Cause chocolate cupcakes are just divine! Now when these beauties are cooling, you make a batch of chocolate strawberries. Melting the chocolate, dipping the strawberries and making sure that there is the little hole where the leaves on top are usually. Now that the cupcakes are nice and ready for preparation, you take a reasonably sharp knife and cut a hole in the center of the cupcake. Then you place the heavenly strawberry in the middle of that cupcake. And, remember that hole in the top of the strawberry? Well next comes filling it with whipped cream or another preferred filling and then you frost the cupcake and voila! You have a triplely good cupcake!

3. Another idea is a bacon/Nutella milkshake. One blends vanilla or chocolate ice cream with a healthy dose of Nutella in a blender with milk and a bit of ice and of course bacon. Next one takes a frosty glass and like a martini glass (sort of), one spreads a thin layer of Nutella around the rim and then dips it in freshly made/crumbled bacon bits.
