Tagseye candy friday
Have I mentioned how much I love doing the eye candy? This week, the eye candy qualifies as actual candy (well, sort of). The recipe has “candied” in the name, after all. White Chocolate Cupcakes with Candied Kumquats, featuring a white chocolate & cream cheese frosting.
I am taking these to the office for a birthday celebration for two coworkers. I tasted one of the ones that “fell” (they have egg whites in them), and it was delish but had “fallen souffle” consistency. I’m only taking the ones that didn’t fall, so keep your fingers crossed that they taste as good as they look! I at least can vouch for the frosting and kumquats. Because really, you must make your own candied kumquats soon (recipe is linked from the recipe above). They are easier than you would think and taste oh so yummy.

Wow, those look yummy! My boyfriend loves baking (lucky me!) so maybe I can convince him to make me some :)
Those kumquats are so beautiful, with the dark edge and transparent center. I never thought I’d say it, considering I can count on one hand the number of times I’ve eaten them, but I can’t wait to get my hands on some!
Those are some of the most gorgeous cupcakes I’ve seen. They’re so sunny and cheery–the perfect antidote for a gray winter day.
Gorgeous. I wish I worked with you. And, call me crazy, but I really like that fallen-souffle consistency.
Those look wonderful!
Those cupcakes are beautiful. I am a fan of cupcakes, I will have to whip some of those up!
i love the look of these. i’m sure they taste wonderfully too.
Ooh, those are beautiful! I’m so impressed! I don’t even know what a kumquat looks like, but if you say it’s easy, OK.
Those are *lovely*.
I’m hungry now. Pregnant and hungry.
Minty, your photographs, and your cupcakes are superior
to those with the recipe. You are more talented than cake!
Even I, a notorious food-phobic, could not resist one of these.
i’m with annie. pregnant and hungry. they look divine!
Dude. I think I gained five pounds just looking at that. ;) You are quite the chef!
You are so cute, candying your own kumquats! You’re such a foodie.
Food is always a good eye candy. YUM!

boy none of my coworkers do that for my birthdays! How lucky there are to have you around!
You obviously know how to make friends and influence people at your new workplace! : )
Everywhere I turn I find kumquats – we ran them as part of a special the other day at work, everyone’s talking about them – must buy kumquats. These treats look delicious!
Mmmmmm…those look so yummy. And the white chocolate and cream cheese sounds delicious.
