Wow, so many delectable treats!
Did you save the houston chrons recipe? Its not availble anymore. I made it like you did( half a recipe) and it was amazing. Robin still talks about it.
I have mexican chocolate( its easy to find at Wal*Mart) so I might make half of that recipe.
The mexican stresuel cake looks good – I’d like to cut in half – what would you do for 1/2 an egg yolk??
Randi, I’ll have to dig up the chronicle article.
Karen, I’d just break the egg in the bowl, separate the yolk from the white and carefully scoop out half. You probably wouldn’t hurt the cake by using a whole yolk.
I love a themed party and I’m really excited to try some of these desserts for Cinco de Mayo!
These are great recipes! Here is a link to one of my favorites – FoodieBride’s Margarita Cupcakes on BakeSpace.com (http://www.bakespace.com/index.php?mode=listing&act=show&lst_id=7837)
