Hi, I really love the look of the Pumpkin Pie Martini and as it's getting autumnal here in England I thought I'd give it a go! Just one question when you write "2 1/2 T pumpkin puree" is that T for teaspoon or tablespoon or something else I may not have heard of ? Thanks 🙂 Amanda
Sues says
@Amanda- Hi! Yes, "T" stands for Tablespoon 🙂

Hello,
I have a quick question about the strawberry gazpacho. When do you add the vegetable broth? I made it this morning and added it with the olive oil but, wanted to make sure I did it at the correct step.
Regards
Sues says
@Jerome- Right before serving (but I'm sure it can be added any time with no major difference). Sorry for the confusion- I updated the recipe. I hope it was delicious!!

I have a question about the rainbow sherbet cupcakes. Do you think I could substitute raspberry preserves for the extract in the cupcake itself?
Sues says
@Lauren- Hi! You could probably add a little bit of jam to the cupcake batter, but it might be even more delicious to keep the cupcakes vanilla flavored and to fill them with a little bit of jam when they're cooled (either by coring the cupcake and spooning it in or inserting it with a pastry bag/tip). Let me know what you end up doing!

The AW Engineering team really enjoyed your Guiness chocolate cupcakes with the whiskey/Baileys filling. Thank you for sharing! ?
Marie Townsend says
So beautiful. I'm planning on making the red velvet cookie dough bars,but I'm wondering if I could freeze them?
Sues says
@Marie- Yes, you definitely can! My husband actually likes them best out of the freezer. If you're freezing them to store them, just make sure you wrap them up well!
Danny Auchterlonie says
I want to know if I can add freshly squeezed orange juice or lemon juice in to a meringue mix before it's cooked, thank you
Sues says
Hi Danny- For meringue cookies, you can add a little bit of lemon or orange juice in place of cream of tarter (since it's a stabilizer), about 1/2 tsp for every egg white. You have to be a bit careful when adding juice to meringue since too much liquid will change the consistency. If you want more flavor, I'd recommend using lemon or orange extract instead since a drop or two will go a long way without adding too much liquid. You can also add in fresh zest for more flavor!
David says
Thanks for sending your husband into the office today with those delicious peppermint chocolate cookies! (and kudos to Chris for not eating them all himself 🙂
One small suggestion: consider having tent cards made with your website on them, so folks here know where to find out more about your amazing kitchen creations.
Cheers

On your 12/2018 post, How to Arrange the Perfect Cookie Platter ... do you have the recipe for the tri-color Italian Champagne Cookies, please?
THANKS!
Sues says
@Leann- Hello! Those cookies actually went along with my tip that "bakeries can be your friend" 🙂 I got those from a bakery, so sadly I don't have a recipe and unfortunately, every similar cookie I could find on the internet was also store-bought! Maybe I'll try my hand at coming up with a good recipe for them!
