Orange Cardamon Icing

December 2, 2013 by kim 1 Comment

Today’s post is going to be a little different. Since I’m exhausted from the whole mystery ingredient contest, I’m having Heather Saffer of The Dollop Book of Frosting cover for me! Let’s give her a warm welcome!:

“Happy Holidays to all you oven lovers! And welcome to my 2013 Holiday Blog Tour!

I’m Heather Saffer and I’m thrilled to be guesting on Lovin’ From The Oven today!  I’m even more thrilled that I get to share one of my fun Frosting Gift Ideas for that frosting lover in your life! (We all have one!)

I don’t know about you but on these cold winter days I love to curl up with my pup, a giant hot mug of tea, and a sweet snack.

But while other tea drinkers are using boring spoons to stir sugar into their tea, I’m using frosting dipped cinnamon sticks instead!

Total. Truth.

How do I do it? With the Orange Cardamom Icing from my cookbook, The Dollop Book of Frosting! This frosting makes the perfect sugary and spicy coating to turn any ordinary cinnamon stick into a magical stir-stick.

The sweetness of the sugar combined with hints of vanilla and orange, enrobed over fresh cinnamon, is the perfect compliment to a spiced holiday tea.

A handful of these frosted stir sticks tied with a ribbon, plus a satchel of your favorite wintery tea, and a giant festive mug and you’ll have the most unique and extraordinary gift for your frosting loving friend this holiday season!

Happy Frosting, everyone!

Orange Cardamon Icing

Yield: Frosts 1-2 dozen large cinnamon sticks

Ingredients

  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 tablespoon almond milk
  • 1/8 teaspoon cream of tartar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • ¼ teaspoon orange extract (my favorite is J.R. Watkins’ pure orange extract)
  • 1/8 teaspoon cardamom
  • 1-2 dozen large cinnamon sticks
  • ¼ cup fresh orange zest (optional)

Directions

  1. Mix all ingredients in a medium bowl until pasty. For thicker frosting, add more powdered sugar, 1 tablespoon at a time, until you reach your desired consistency.
  2. One at a time, dip ¼ of the cinnamon stick in the icing, turning to coat. If necessary, use pastry brush or spatula to apply icing. Sprinkle with fresh orange zest or sanding sugar and lay on parchment paper to set. Repeat with each cinnamon stick. Once frosting has set, carefully remove from parchment paper; tie with ribbon, and gift.

Sorry for the use of so many exclamation marks. I’m determined and hopeful! I’ve also been up since 3:30 AM for no reason, so I’m a little delirious and groggy.

It’s the worst waking up in the middle of the night and not being able to go back to sleep. There’s nothing to do and no one to keep you company. I’m sure I’ll pass out the moment I finish this post.

How was your Thanksgiving? Mine was spent with my DF’s family and as every other holiday, we spent the whole day feasting. It was glorious.

A new dish on the table this year were brussels sprouts. I never ate them when I was little (I’m pretty sure they don’t exist in Asian dishes) and still rarely eat them now unless it’s prepared for me by someone else. They’re a foreign vegetable to me. I have no idea what to do with them or how to serve them.

I thought to myself, “how hard can it be to cook them in the oven?” As it turns out, it’s pretty darn simple. Toss a little olive oil on any vegetable with a little bit of seasoning and you can bake your way to roasted goodness.

Do you cook brussels sprouts at home? How do you prepare it?
