Desserts for sale!

This summer I've been making cupcakes & selling them at gilman. They've all sold out, and lately I've been selling 2 dozen before the 2nd or 3rd band has started. Here are a few of my favorites:
Chocolate cupcake filled with a peanut butter butter cream, with a peanut butter chocolate ganache, topped with a pb butter cream swirl.

Chocolate cupcakes with chocolate frosting topped with raspberry purree & a fresh raspberry.

Chocolate cupcakes with chocolate frosting topped with chicko-sticks.

Chocolate mint cupcakes with a mint butter cream icing topped with a mint leaf.

I've been trying to do two things lately: eat healthier, not cook meals that take more than 20 minutes (hot stoves in the summer are the worst). This tofu veggie stir fry with cous-cous was an attempt for both of these things. I think it turned out pretty well.

I pressed the tofu (but not for long enough because I was impatient). While the veggies were cooking a little I marinated the tofu in soy sauce, teriyaki sauce, sesame oil, hot sauce, garlic & cumin. I added garlic, crushed red pepper, salt & pepper to the plain cous-cous . I stir fried the veggies, sauce & tofu together. It didn't take long at all.

I am eagerly awaiting new entries from other LNP members-I hope they come soon...
