Sadly, all this experience has made me no less awkward and devoid of grace. I have a tendency towards embarrassing sweat, stuttering and knuckle cracking that is less than charming… Or! I just talk about my kitten, or the family dog, or this giant white rabbit that attacked me in 4th grade and no one believed me but it TOTALLY happened… and then I just leave other people feeling weird… and it’s all just awkward. Anyhow! I’ve devised two personal tactics to detract from such boneheaded behavior: wear a pretty dress and heels and always bring cupcakes (or cookies or brownies or granola… or pie). Sprinkles?

Ricotta Lemon Rosemary Cupcakes with Tomato Jam Filling I probably have never gone so long without posting.

Going nuts over chocolate peanut butter cupcakes with caramel peanut glaze. FACT: Arachibutyrophobia is the fear of peanut butter sticking to the roof of one's mouth. Peanuts are so underrated. Almonds are sexy thanks to macarons and friands. Pistachios are oh so exotic when doused with rosewater and honey in baklava. But the poor wee peanut doesn't have such a glamourous rep. They're always the ones left uneaten in the roasted nut mix and unlike delicious pecan pie and chic frangipane tarts you don't hear anyone sing the praises of a peanutty pastry creation. It seems the humble peanut is relegated to being the boring forgettable nut-cousin. That is, until it's turned into gloriously creamy, deliciously salty sweet, Peanut Butter.

But sweet and salty is a whole other ball game: think salted caramels, sea salt toffee and thai mango sticky rice. That little bit of salt with a very sweet item takes the whole experience from merely wow to awesome to the power of rad. Sweet and salty seems to be the flavour of the month with the Sweet and Salty Cake being raved about all over the food blogging world. The Sweet and Salty Cake consists of three parts: chocolate layer cake + caramel with salt sauce + whipped caramel ganache. The salted caramel sauce is to die for.

Chocolate Coconut Cupcakes with Caramel Buttercream Frosting. I had almost started making these when I realized I was out of praline paste.
