Cupcake Project

Grand total of 160 tastings over my 3 days (this does not include all the products I took home to taste!). What a whirlwind!

Here are my top 5 tastes from today:

5: Ube sweetened condensed milk from . I love the flavor of ube and so cool to have a naturally purple (and vegan) sweetened condensed milk. I'm excited to play with it in the kitchen!

4: Almond holiday nog. There were so many fabulous non-dairy milks at the show. I loved this one for its short ingredient list with such a smooth mouth feel and perfect holiday flavor.

3: Grilled cheese made with lots of ghee. Simple, but the ghee made the bread so tasty!

2: Cinnamon baker's syrup from . Think vanilla bean paste, but cinnamon flavor. I want this on everything - ice cream, yogurt, frostings, glazes, and, and, and.

1: lemon date pops. I've been a Joolies fan for years, but these lemon bar date pops surprised me in the best way. I wouldn't have paired the two flavors, but they are so great together and they're the perfect on-the-go healthy snack.

Tomorrow and I go to Disneyland! We definitely have lots of snacks to bring with us, but we'll have to try some Disney food too!
