check the bottom of a cookie while the sheet is still in the oven. the bottoms are your best indicator...by the time the tops are brown, the bottoms are burnt!) remove cookies to a cooling rack and press a kiss in the center immediately.<br />enjoy!<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3907375728865788622-30032181762035761?l=makelovebakelove.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>candice darlinghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06176853667483345204noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3907375728865788622.post-69968559391858403332009-05-03T19:57:00.000-07:002009-05-04T10:14:28.716-07:00one of my favorite places in salt lake is <a href=http://les-madeleines.com/ target="_blank">Les Madeleines Patisserie</a>. they have the most amazing baked goods and it really feels just like a cafe in paris. if you go there, you HAVE TO try the kouing-aman. it is absolutely to-die-for!<br /><br /><div><div><div><div><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_qWGfJvepvwQ/Sf5c-S3ukpI/AAAAAAAAAEU/BU1fqUT2Cl0/s1600-h/lesmad1.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5331801234140467858" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 200px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 150px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_qWGfJvepvwQ/Sf5c-S3ukpI/AAAAAAAAAEU/BU1fqUT2Cl0/s320/lesmad1.jpg" border="0" /></a> <img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5331801238421100594" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 229px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_qWGfJvepvwQ/Sf5c-i0T2DI/AAAAAAAAAEc/f-UtKRAq5qc/s320/lesmad2.jpg" border="0" /><br /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5331801242856774194" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 218px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_qWGfJvepvwQ/Sf5c-zV22jI/AAAAAAAAAEk/6SfsDa7z__s/s320/lesmad3.jpg" border="0" /><br />so inspired by this local muse, i decided to try my hand at the baked good for which the cafe was named--<a href=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Madeleine_(cake) target="_blank">madeleines</a>!<br /></div><div>i bought a beautiful pan at williams-sonoma...</div><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5331802682755279330" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 183px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_qWGfJvepvwQ/Sf5eSnYaaeI/AAAAAAAAAEs/OMeRRHExsc4/s320/madpan.jpg" border="0" /> <div>i made two different recipes...one just a plain cake and the other was jasmine.</div><div>after a few set backs i ended up with a few pretty good ones. </div><div align="left">i learned a lot and had a great time making them.</div><br /><div align="left"></div><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5331808712384390386" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 240px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_qWGfJvepvwQ/Sf5jxlgBJPI/AAAAAAAAAE0/Fmk4R7PYhPE/s320/DSC03741.JPG" border="0" /><br />of course the best part was eating them though!<br /></div><div><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5331813049826209522" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 240px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_qWGfJvepvwQ/Sf5nuDuu7vI/AAAAAAAAAE8/pjYzDqlzCbc/s320/DSC03743.JPG" border="0" /><br /><br /><div align="left">i can't wait to make them again!</div></div></div></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3907375728865788622-6996855939185840333?l=makelovebakelove.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>candice darlinghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06176853667483345204noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3907375728865788622.post-21710318361630778382009-05-03T19:27:00.001-07:002009-05-03T19:33:56.710-07:00i've toyed with the idea of starting a blog for quite some time. and to be completely honest, it intimidates me a little. i've decided to put all that aside and just go for it.<br /><br />so...without further ado....here it is!<br />make love. bake love.<br />by yours truly<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3907375728865788622-2171031836163077838?l=makelovebakelove.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>candice darlinghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06176853667483345204noreply@blogger.com0
