Donate your Free Taco!!
This isn’t a traditional post. Although, it is about food.
For anyone who didn’t watch the World Series (GO SOX!) or hear about this, Taco Bell was offering one free taco to everyone in America if a player steals a base during the World Series. Well the amazing rookie, Jacoby Ellsbury did just that the other night.
Now, everyone gets a free taco, tomorrow, Tuesday 10/30 from 2-5 PM (details HERE).
BUT, if you’re like me and work at a day job, don’t know where the nearest Taco Bell is, and/or have never eaten taco bell prior to 2AM, you will likely not be able to take advantage of Taco Bell’s offer.
There are some guys who are trying to get Taco Bell to donate the equivalent cost of the free tacos from people who are not claiming their tacos to California wildfire victims. Please put in your hometown and email address to support this cause and spread the word. Check it out: http://www.donateyourtaco.com/
GO SOX!!

Mmmmm I love one dish cupcakes!

Those cupcakes look delish! Can you tell me more about the “dipping in ganache” technique? Does the ganache need to be a certain consistency first?
I have seen some maple cheesecake around the blogs, maybe that would be awesome use for the sugar? Or to top maple sugar cookies 🙂
I made a seriously awesome maple mousse cake to go with Christmas dinner this year and it used maple sugar. It was one of the best desserts I’ve ever eaten. The link to the post is: http://joanne-eatswellwithothers.blogspot.com/2010/01/frozen-maple-mousse-pie-with-chocolate.html.
Go Butler!! I think I’m going to use your “go to” cupcake recipe to make some Final Four treats for the office Friday
Wow that maple syrup event looks really cool, I wish I had known about it- it looks like they only do it once a year!
Carly – I dipped the cupcakes in the ganache while it was still very liquidy. I did it a few minutes after making the ganache and then let it set up on the cupcakes. Hope that helps.
Jen, the maple syrup experience sounds like so much fun and I’ve always wanted to do it! I wonder if it’s too late this year.
Those cupcakes look so pretty. Can you tell me what kind of liners you’re using? They stay so nice and bright.
ooo I love sugar houses!!! The tastings are always the best 🙂
Lila, I get the liners online. Here is the link for the colored ones, and I also get brown liners as well.
The cupcakes look beautiful and festive!! I love real maple syrup!
I should have a birthday more often. So good…
