I was inspired by fellow bloggers to don my apron and inventing cap and enter "The First Ever Chic Cupcake Challenge" sponsored by Pink Sugar Desserts and Dollface Delights. My daughters Madeleine and Max enjoyed the process as much as I did, and we were all very pleased with results. We hope you will be too. Here's the description:
Fall is apple picking, brisk air, a warm fire, spice… My humble cupcakes were inspired by those things I love best about the season. The applesauce cake is moist and tender, with delicate spice. It marries beautifully with the richness of the brown sugar Sabayon. The Bourbon Lace Crunch adds a dimension of texture ~ a light buttery crunch that takes the experience to another dimension.
I was initially stumped when it came to the garnish. I wanted something attractive, yet delicious. Rather than something that simply acted as "window dressing", I wanted a garnish that would add even more "WOW" to the marriage of flavors and textures from the cake and the Sabayon. What resulted from my musings was a new take on the old classic lace cookie. The hint of molasses added richness and complexity. The bourbon provided a note of continuity. The crunch is delicate, buttery, and starts to melt on your tongue with your first bite of creamy Sabayon and tender cake.

Hey Jen!!!
So I was tryying to add your entry to the contest this morning as a late addition and unfortunately Blogger will not let me add another poll option without erasing all the votes; and I think the others would be upset with me if I cancelled out their votes :( I hope you understand and do hope you enter the next challenge! You have many fans who would vote for you and your wonderful creations :)
