Dowser 8: cupcakes and chocolate

 

Since is it a shorter list this time, I thought I would combine the cupcakes and chocolate mentioned in the soon-to-be released Misfits, Gemstones, and Other Shattered Magic (Dowser 8) into one blog post.

So, for those of you who like to be prepared with cupcakes on hand, here are the cupcakes that are featured or mentioned in Dowser 8. Cupcakes marked with an asterisk (*) appear in the Dowser Cookbook. Cupcakes with double asterisks (**) have been released in my monthly newsletter and will be added to the cookbook. I will update the Dowser Cookbook to include the new recipes, and re-release the free PDF ‘aka the fourth edition’ to my new release email list on June 28, 2018.

In order of appearance:

Chill in a Cup** – mint-chocolate cake with mint-chocolate buttercream

Tingle in a Cup** – chocolate-mint cake with mint buttercream

Lust in a Cup* – dark chocolate cake with chocolate cream cheese icing

Sin in a Cup – spiced cake with mocha buttercream

Blitzen in a Cup – mocha cake with eggnog buttercream

And now for the chocolate!

And, yes, I ate this bar while writing Dowser 8 and am eating the final piece pictured here while writing this blog post.

The sole chocolate bar to appear in Dowser 8 is Amedei’s Porcelana Chocolate. This rare and rather pricey bar was a huge indulgence for me (and Jade) (courtesy of a gift certificate from a writer friend – thank you, Liza!). Tasting notes: smooth, balanced cocoa, delicate fruit noise, and a long finish.

I think I’ll bake Lust in a Cup, though Michael is a big fan of the new mint cupcakes. But I absolutely adore the chocolate cream cheese icing. Yummy.

Will you be indulging in any treats and/or cupcakes while reading Dowser 8? If you do, and you enjoying sharing photos, please tag me in your social media posts! I’d love to see what you’ve chosen.

  1. OMG The siren call of the choclatey goodness is amazingly strong. I would probably eat myself sick!

  2. Crap. I’ma need botha these…

    Sin in a Cup – spiced cake with mocha buttercream

    Blitzen in a Cup – mocha cake with eggnog buttercream

    1. Sin in a Cup isn’t in the cookbook yet, but it’s pretty much the base of Clarity in a Cup (without the applesauce) and the icing of Buzz in a Cup. 🙂
