Yesterday, I was an audience member at the Martha Stewart show! I ate her chocolate chip cookies and joked with Joey, her tedious warm up guy. I watched Raquel Welch warm beeswax with a hair dryer and fill wine bottles with soap flakes and love notes. Martha is just like she is on TV—a little awkward and stiff. But her set is perfection. And her empire is full of employees creating fantastic projects for me to enjoy.
Pictured above are her Xs and Os Cupcakes featured in Martha Stewart Kids, Fall 2003. These chocolate and vanilla treats are topped with Swiss Meringue Butter Cream and cinnamon candy designs. An adorable class treat. Or an equally adorable treat to be enjoyed at home in your pajamas on Valentine’s Day.
Tips from Martha: “The cupcakes can be baked a week ahead and frozen, but decorate them no more than a day before serving. Pack the cupcakes in a shallow plastic container, and stuff crumpled waxed paper in between.”
