One of the hallmarks of the Dowser series books is that Jade is generally baking or test baking cupcakes that reflect her mood. So, naturally, the upcoming novella (Dowser 9.5) that I’m writing for the tenth anniversary of the Dowser Series will feature a brand new celebratory cupcake. Yay!
Which means that – before June 18, 2023 – I have to develop a recipe, test bake it until I’m satisfied, write up the recipe, take pictures, etc. But! As part of the (early) anniversary celebrations (which I launched this morning via Kickstarter), I thought my lovely readers would like to vote on what kind of cupcake they think Jade should be baking in the book. See the poll below.
The recipe itself will be part of the Anniversary bundle currently available via my Kickstarter campaign. And warning (!), the Kickstarter will be the only way to get this recipe unless I eventually put it in the free (PDF) Dowser Series Cookbook (no sooner than mid2024).
I will email Kickstarter backers – every tier includes the novella, eCard, and recipe – about a week ahead of time with a list of ingredients. So that, if they are so inclined, they can bake the same cupcakes as Jade is baking in the story WHILE READING THE NOVELLA!!
I mean, I thought that would be super cool. Hopefully, I’m not the only one.
There will also be fun live events and giveaways, etc, for the anniversary on June 18, 2023.
And without further ado, the cupcake poll (you’ll note a distinct chocolate theme since I’m the one test baking😂):
You’ll note I wasn’t more descriptive because I reserve the right to interpret as my tastebuds will. Yum!
[My apologies, I don’t know how to get rid of those weird grey squares/rectangles above and below the poll! But the poll itself is functional, so I am posting!!]
Dark Chocolate and Raspberry is one of my favorite combo. I hope it’s the one that wins
Voted! I’m happy with any of them: they all sound good.
They all sound yummy!!! I love Raspberries so you know what I have chosen. 🙂
All options are good!!
Chocolate Pistachio: combination of sweet and salty and the colour combination of brown and green is very earth-bound as befits a witch/dragon
All the options sound really good but my husband loves dark chocolate and raspberry. If I made those ahead of time he might not notice me reading and ordering takeout for dinner 😁.
I’m sure whatever recipe comes our way will be delicious.
I voted raspberry, but if you want to pretend I voted for pistachio then that’s ok 😂 They all sound AMAZING! 😋😋😋 It was a very difficult decision!
