Tree Hugger Apple
I was asked by Foodies@Work (on Twitter @foodiesatwork) to write a guest blog for their site. They wanted me to come up with a cupcake that reflected the Pacific Northwest. At first, I instantly thought seafood!! But reconsidered because I’m certain that a lobster cupcake wouldn’t be that tasty. So I decided on apples.
