Dinner at Jennie and David's: olive-chive bread (Jason and I agreed that it was a waste of chives, since their flavor vanished completely) and carrot cake cupcakes that would have been perfect if:
a. Our stupid oven didn't overcook everything. Resolved: only one tray at a time! They started burning after only about 14 minutes, even with rotating the pans. Why can't I get used to this oven??
b. I had used muffin papers. I think cupcakes make up more tender that way. And easier to clean up the pans.
The frosting, however, was everything I wanted. I made the magical flour slurry frosting, using maple sugar in place of white, and added some cinnamon. It whips up so nicely and had such a silky texture that I don't see myself bothering with finicky buttercream anymore.
