Perfecting Little Cakes

I made these Molten Chocolate Cakes (<--scroll down for recipe) for Jeremy for our one year. I didn't cook them long enough and overlooked letting them cool before the inversion step. So they ended up a melted chocolately mess. Albeit a yummy mess, but still not visually appealing.

J is in NYC for work this week, and with some extra time,I decided to try to perfect them. Summer hung with me, in an online iChat kind of way, where I taunted her with words of yumminess... and despite the fact that the recipe creates two, and it isn't reducible because of the eggs, I made them anyway and ate them both! They were so yummy.

Success!

Preparation

Cooling before Inversion

Ta Da!

Um.. Where did they go?

Pst! My offer still stands to make these for you if/when we ever meet, Summer. :)

Love Eruption!

I have seen these message beans here and there for years. I was a little skeptical about a bean in a can. Especially one that's been laser engraved. And that a plant might not be a good present for some. Jeremy was the right person! And of course the love eruption happens while he's in NYC. :)

Here it is on days 10 & 11:

Love Eruption on Day 10

Tree Branch Hanger

I found these adorable little tree branch coat/scarf/bag/key hangers by Bosign at The Container Store yesterday. I can't wait to hang them!
