Planning my menu....for Art After Hours!

Art after Hours is a party!  A party that everyone is invited to at The Crown!  And there is going to be FOOD at The Crown!  I do more food that the other businesses who open ....but Food IS my Business so that's natural! 

I've been getting all the food ready today....Art After Hours is a week from today - on Thursday July 2nd!  But withmy mixes...I can get it all done ahead of time in the fridge or freezer and put it all together on the table on Thursday afternoon!  (Sage and Prescott and I are heading to the beach for a few days!)

Elise Mallette, an Indianola artist, will be at The Crown showing her paintings!  She specializes in crosses....vibrant colors and soft colors and patterned....You just have to see them to appreciate their delicate beauty!   Be sure to come by next Thursday!  Alan Jones will be playing his guitar and I hope he'll sing "Summertime" at least once for me!  Alan is so good!

You MUST give more detail on the coffee pecan cupcakes! My mother would flip for something like that. :) Is this made with a TOG product?
And I had a customer tell me that by the time she used her Caramel Pecan Sauce a few times, all the pecans were gone (she has trouble rationing out the pecans)! So at that point she just adds pecans from her fridge to the rest of the sauce in the jar!

The Coffee Pecan Cupcakes are a variation on a cake we discovered and LOVE from England! Of course, I changed it - sort of Americanized it! You make a plain yellow cake using triple strong coffee (or espresso powder) instead of plain water! Then make an icing using the same super coffee in a butter cream icing. STRONG coffee - almost a syrup! Then ice the muffins or cupcakes (or a layered cake) and sprinkle on toasted pecans (the English version was walnuts!) It gets even better after the cake sits for a couple of days! One of my "It's so easy it's embarressing" recipes!
