I got a new apartment today and it's a garage apartment located behind the house of a lovely young couple (husband seemed around 30) who just had their first baby. Since I love baking I was thinking it'd be nice to drop off some delicious baked something, but I'm horrible at making decisions and can't pick what I want to bake them!
For christmas I got what appears to be a quite promising book of "gourmet" cupcake recipes so I thought I might try one of those. But some of them get really taste specific, featuring certain fruits or nuts or liquors and I'd hate to give them something that had a flavor someone just doesn't like. For instance, one of the cupcakes I personally want to try most is for a Tarte Tatin cupcake, which is like a cupcake version of the French upside down apple tarte with caramelized apples, but I know for my mom, apples "just don't do anything" for her. But then again, an uber plain standard something isn't really my preference either.
Additionally, the book also has some random recipes at the back that are sort of like cupcakes, in size and shape, but not. Like a cupcake sized/individual sized deep dish apple pie, cherry almond pie, and strudel cups.
And then, I've also been dying to have an excuse to try out a few recipes from here, like this link which is for a dark chocolate salted caramel tart. Or there's a recipe for nutella swirl pound cake...
What to do?
Simple poll & opinions/ideas wanted.
