Two bags makes a flavorful batter, but after baking everything mellows and I was missing that aggressiveness that Early grey is so known for. I also found the lemon frosting to be kind of overpowering so I mellowed it by adding honey. yummyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5262628558438346351.post-16906037229158842902012-11-09T23:36:24.676-05:002012-11-09T23:36:24.676-05:00Just made these for a baby shower tomorrow and I h...Just made these for a baby shower tomorrow and I hope I can keep from eating them all before the party.

I don't like very sweet frosting either so I used canned cream cheese frosting due to not having a lot of time, and I added lemon zest and fresh lemon juice.

I couldn't agree more about machine mixing diminishing one's feeling of the process. I don't have a standing mixer. I feel unsure and disconnected from what's happening when I use the hand mixer. I'm no baker, so I'm always certain I've ruined things...and then somehow they turn out ok.

I was reading up on how to infuse tea into your baked goods, and I'm going to try to infuse the tea this way, instead of baking it in:<br />essentially, you infuse the tea into the 1 cup of butter by melting the butter and then straining it from the tea. This keeps the little tea bits out of your cupcakes, but the flavor remains!<br />p.s., I didn't come up with it, but heres a link ;)<br />http://www.cupcakeproject.com/2010/05/baking-with-tea-how-to-get-flavor-of.html<br /><br />I think it might be a little bit more appealing to my family at Easter dinner if they avoid the bits of tea.<br /><br />I'm so excited to try this recipe, lemon + earl grey = Excited Ashley!<br />happy baking :)Ashleyhttp://twitter.com/ashtasticallynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5262628558438346351.post-10199375905343327622010-01-18T09:44:24.654-05:002010-01-18T09:44:24.654-05:00Interesting story as for me.

I failed at making the frosting myself, it was thin and the ingredients started to separate. :( I think I put the wrong amounts of different ingredients because I was trying to half the recipe and started to forget by the end. Either way, the flavor of the frosting was great and went so well with the Earl Grey tea. :9 <BR/><BR/>Thanks for the recipe, it's wonderful! :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
