Red Velvet Cupcakes - The RESULTS!

It's results time again!

Sugar's Cupcakes:

Salt's Cupcakes:

After the fiasco that was my meringues, I needed a win to make me feel better about myself! I highly recommend the recipe I used to anyone that loves red velvet. I just received word from one of our taste testers that the cupcakes are still fabulous all these days later as long as you keep them in the fridge!

Yep. We are still eating them over here.

So because I won this week, Sugar has picked out the next three things that our lovely readers can vote on.

Will it be:

1. Key Lime Pie (Yes, again...apparently Sugar's husband is a HUGE fan.)
2. Apple Pie
3. Lemon Bars

A poll will be appearing in the side bar as soon as I can figure out how to make one. Or maybe I will just have to beg Sugar to do it for me because she's already a Blogger poll expert. :)

HAPPY VOTING and we hope everyone has a wonderful weekend. We will announce the results of the poll at the end of next week and get back to baking after the holiday is over.

The Results Are In, But Salt Is Not. :(

Sorry for the lack of graphics on our results post, but Salt is out on her vacation this week and without her mad graphic design skills, I'm kind of lost. But, anywhoo, here are the results of our brownie bake-off.

Salt: 3.6 Yums
Sugar: 4.4 Yums

Sugar gets her first win!! Yay. So, now we have a change in our Throwdown that will interest all 47 of our loyal followers. Salt will be choosing 3 things that she wants to make for the next Throwdown. We will post her choices as a poll next week and our followers will get to vote on what we make next. :) When she returns from getting tan and relaxing, the official ballot will be posted for you.


As for this week, since Salt is out I've decided to go with the Guy Fieri oatmeal cookie recipe and have it judged to make up for my baking sin from last week. We'll see how this one goes over. The recipe will be posted on Monday and results on Wednesday. Have a great weekend, everyone!

Oatmeal Raisin Results!

The results are in!!

Sugar's Cookies:

3.1 YUMS!

Salt's Cookies:

3.9 YUMS!

SALT wins again, but there was a somewhat interesting twist to all of this.

As we mentioned in the recipe posts, Sugar is out of town this week. She left her cookies (which she claimed were not very good) in my office, sealed in a Tupperware container. I don't know what kind of magical Tupperware voodoo occurred, but her cookies were actually much better 2 days later than they were when we first sampled them on Friday. (I know because I taste tested them myself.)

So while I feel that we shouldn't completely forgive Martha Stewart for what she put Sugar through, it's nice that her cookies went over better than expected with the taste testers.

What we are making for Monday is going to be a surprise. Just as much for me as it is for you!

Seriously I have no idea what she wants to do...maybe I should send her a Facebook message...

Happy rest-of-the-week to everyone!
