Ultimate Cake and Cocktail Recipes

Posted by Mary Luz Mejia Mar 26, 2007

A recent birthday bash gave me cause for pause in the cake department. Would I make the usual cake or get a little creative? I stumbled upon an Ina Garten recipe for double chocolate cake, and decided to turn them into mind blowing cupcakes with their very own chocolate coffee buttercream icing. The verdict- thumbs up all round. Home made never tasted so fantastic (they looked bakery bought as well!).

If you're after a light spring cocktail, the updated version of a Moscow Mule will fit the bill nicely. Cameron Bogue offers his terrific Beijing Mule recipe using Smirnoff Vodka- an utterly refreshing, exotic and refined cockatil sure to shake off any winter chill with light, sophisticated flavours. Cake and a cocktail- not a bad combo!
