Syracuse has a wonderful abroad program to Florence…<\/span><\/address>\n

Imagine… the birthplace of the Renaissance (mon favori!) for architecture
\n… gelato, espresso, olive oil, prosciutto (c’est seulement le debut!) for food<\/p>\n

As part of the Master of Architecture program, we are invited for a semester in Florence. I’d love to go. LOVE to go.<\/span><\/strong> But it comes with hefty fees, as private education goes, which asks that I embark on alternative methods of generating funds.<\/p>\n

VOILA; Progetto: Francesca a Firenze!!<\/span><\/h2>\n

(baking cupcakes \/ cakes \/ pies \/ etc to get to Florence!)<\/p>\n

You can reach me via the order form here<\/a><\/p>\n

Please help; I guarantee deliciousness, and as you can see, my Latin-based languages are restricted to French.<\/p>\n

PRIMO LOTTO: Ginger Cupcakes<\/span><\/h1>\n

It’s a good day to be lemon frosting<\/span><\/em><\/h2>\n

I’ve always wanted to candy ginger<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

I used fresh ginger for these cupcakes (not powdered) I find that it makes a nice mellower flavor, with just a hint of spice. I must have used a huge chunk of root though, to get the flavor present. It was grated, infused with the fats in the batter, then strained because I don’t like fibery-cupcakes.<\/p>\n

The candying process produced a good amount of ginger syrup, which I further reduced and spread on top of the cupcake before adding the frosting. Topped with white chocolate!<\/p>\n
