Cupcake catering for benefit art show
I am baking mini cupcakes (and doing some savory appetizers) for a benefit art show at my ex-bosses studio this weekend.
I am going to make chili-chocolate cupcakes with flamed colored marshmallow frosting. Hopefully they come out the way I imagine them in my head. We shall see...
I wish I could do more sweet things for the party, but the savory bits are going to be a challenge and I don't want to over extend myself. I will be searching the many awesome food blogs out there for some appetizer ideas. Only problem is that there is no refrigeration or a way to heat things. So far I am planning on caprese on a toothpick (tomato, mozzarella, basil, olive oil) and fresh fig & goat cheese wrapped with prosciutto on a toothpick. Not sure what else. Any ideas?
The other cool thing is that I have a piece in the show and my husband is performing. Should be a good time.

Best of luck!
I am so making the cheddar-parmesan crackers. Perfect, because I can get a lot done without a lot of work. Thanks!
Glad I could help! I recently stumbled on your site by way of another cupcake blog, and you're now a regular stop for me... so thanks for the upkeep here!
By the way... very cool tile!

What a beautiful site ...your photos and creations are just amazing! There is a recipe from Clotidle at Chocolate and Zucchini from a while back that I somewhat tweaked...easy and delicious...instant polenta with some chopped basil and sundried tomato mixed in - cut in to small bite size squares that you could quick saute' for golden color and then serve at room temp, no refrif or reheat- just a suggestion!
PS I second the Leite's culinaria suggestions, his recipes are always wonderful!
Best of luck with the show!
