The creation of noms.

For my first official blog post, I had intended on telling everyone all about these amazing oatmeal and cinnamon cookies I made. (They taste like snicker-doodles and a healthy breakfast had a delicious baby.) But there is something so inspiring about starting a new project that I was drawn here to talk about it.

Now that that's out of the way, Kitten Whiskers is ready to launch!

For those of you who don't know, I run a local chapter of Felicia Day's Vaginal Fantasy book club. It sounds dirty, and it is! I will post links somewhere, because getting people to read books is something I love almost as much as baking. We read a book a month and every month I get super obsessed about picking wine and snacks that relate to the book. (Yes, I am aware that I am crazy, but thanks for your concerns.)

This months book is Shadow's Claim by Kresely Cole and no I'm not done with it and yes I know I have just over a week to do so, get off my back internet! This is one of the dirtiest book we have ever read for this club. There are mentions upon mentions of.... How do I say this delicately... man...seed. Nope! That's gross sounding. I'm just going to call it semen.

Ok so there is a ton of semen going on and you're thinking "Gah I thought this was a baking blog!" I know right! Well, anyway there is a point to all of this. My sick twisted sense of humor interprets that information to mean: I need to make a glaze frosting. So, wasting no time at all I fired up my google machine and it inundated me with all the glazes I could want. I picked out a super easy sounding vanilla and went on to figure out the harder stuff.

So now I have a frosting but I cant just serve that, people would riot! So I make way back to google to ask it a more important question: What kind of shiz, specifically, are you allowed to glaze? Google was confused by my strange vernacular, so I changed it to the much more boring "desserts with glaze"

I know I don't want to make a bundt cake because that sounds super hard and my bundt pan is being used as a cat food bowl. Whipping egg whites for some angel food cake didn't sound appealing either. After a few minutes of scrolling through the images, I noted that chocolate was a very popular choice. Even more popular if you are hosting a saucy book club.

I already have a wonderful chocolate cake recipe but cakes are boring. You know that they say, the smaller the better right? Oh...what? Really.....alright if you say so. I'm now being informed that that is not a real saying. Well let's pretend it is because I wanna make mini-cupcakes.

So that's everything from inspiration to idea conception and next week you can expect some pictures of artificially seminated mini chocolate cakers and you are welcome for that. I promise in the future less talk of books and googling and more about actual baking but I appreciate anyone who took the time to read this.

Oh and here's that link I promised: Vaginal Fantasy Book Club

Mission Statement

This is a place for pictures of tasty things, musing about tasty things and making tasty things.
