Dessert Porn Friday


Welcome to Dessert Porn Friday. This week's recipe is a great one for the Christmas and Thanksgiving season.

Bake a white cake mix in cupcake pans. Use cooking spray and not papers. When cool, cut off the rounded tops, seperating them from the bottoms. The tops will have a rounded look, the bottoms a flat one. Place them on a parchment papered dessert platter or individually on a plate. On the stovetop heat 1/2 cup of light corn syrup, 2 cups of sugar, and 1 cup of water until simmering and dissolved. Add a few drops of red food coloring and fresh/frozen cranberries. Stir well and simmer, stirring constantly, for about 5 minutes. Place the saucepan in a bowl of icewater, but do not get the water in the candy-coating mixture you heated. With a ladel, pour the mixture over the cakes until coated. Cool in fridge for at least an hour. Sprinkle with powdered sugar. Voila.
