To my one follower, my lovely sister, thanks for checking in.

Dulce has ended, but there will be something new coming along shortly.  I'll be sure to send keep everyone (my sister) posted.

Vegan Treats part duex

I tried out some vegan recipes this past weekend.  I made vegan brownies, brownie bites, and cupcakes.  I have to say that I barely noticed a difference.  I was totally shocked.  I'm not vegan, or vegetarian...can't give up the meat or the cheese.  I'm addicted!!  I really enjoyed the vegan desserts, and I eat more because they're healthy.  ; )

I decided to try to make some vegan desserts because my boyfriend's nephew is lactose intolerant.  It's no fun for a 6 year old to have to say no to every cupcake that comes through his classroom.  So, I've been using Zeke, and his chocoholic little brother as my taste testers.  So, far it's been a success.  I'm having a tasting party this Friday to try a few new things out, so I should have pictures up next week. 

On another note, I've decided to slow down the Dulce kitchens for now.  We've had a lot of fun over the past year, but studying for the CPA and working full time, plus trying to start a business has taken it's toll.  I'll still be baking and blogging about it.  We're just not going to be selling products on-line.

Vegan Treats

This weekend I'm working on some vegan items for Dulce.  I'll post them up as soon as I have them, and hopefully I'll be able to get some pictures as well.  I'm hoping to make some tasty treats for my lactose intolerant and vegan friends.  Wish me luck!!

Brownie Bites

Tonight I'm finishing up my new project.  Pics will follow.  They're Blood Orange Double Chocolate dipped in White Chocolate Brownie pop.

I got the blood orange flavoring from Beyond the Olive.  It's  a great store in Pasadena.  If you haven't been there, you should check it out.  http://beyondtheolive.com/ 

The owners and employees are really helpful, and the store is fun!

Tonight, I've experienced heaven...

That's right, I've been to heaven and came back to tell you all about it.  Delicious homemade yellow cake with white chocolate cream cheese frosting dipped in dark, bittersweet, or milk chocolate.  One bite and you'll be in heaven too.  I'll be experimenting with flavors in the future, but these little bite-sized cakes can be ordered here.  6 for $12.  Our most popular treat yet.

Hurry before I eat them all!

Truffles! Truffles! Truffles!

Above is the result of my experiment in truffle making.  It was my first time, and I was very nervous.  Luckily, it was a lot of fun.  Time consuming, yes, but I really enjoyed it.  The adventure will continue...
All of the truffles have a vanilla fig balsamic ganache, with a chocolate coating.  I then rolled it either bacon, walnuts, cocoa powder, or coconut. I was worried about the bacon flavoring, but it added a smoky, salty flavor to the chocolate.  Delish!


We're selling them 6 for $18 for one flavor, $22 assorted

Finally

Our website will be up soon! I want to thank Aza Allen for all of his hard work. If you like what you see, please contact him theonlyaza@hotmail.com. He's been amazing to work with!

Easter Weekend

Time for chocolate, but then again when isn't it time for chocolate? I'll be preparing different flavored truffles this weekend. I'm taking them to my picky taste testors (family, of course!). I'll keep you posted on the outcome. We'll have some up to order next week. Wish me luck!

Here is the outcome of the truffle experiment.  To the left are the vanilla fig balsamic cocoa truffles.  We're selling them 6 for $18, or 6 for $22 if you want assorted flavors.

Thanks to Roger Roddy for the pictures.  If you like what you see, contactdulce@gmail.com for Roger's information.
