Brussel Sprouts (turtle heads :lol: ) are passable steamed but so much better roasted.

Nice tacos David. I've always done the more traditional red sangria, how was the white? Seems like the wine wouldn't over-power the fruit so much, which is a good thing.

My youngest bonus daughter is turning 21 next month. We are getting a taco cart so I don't have to cook for 50 people :D But I wanted to try some "Mexican flavor" cupcakes

Starting left rear:
De la Rosa - peanut butter cake, vanilla frosting, garnished with half a De la Rosa candy (peanut marzipan)
Churro - spice cake with extra cinnamon, brushed with melted butter, dipped in sanding sugar and cinnamon, enough frosting to hold a Taco Bell cinnamon twist garnish
Jamaica - whice cake injected with jamaica syrup (dried hibiscus), vanilla frosting dusted with powdered jamaica and garnished with a dried hibiscus petal
Chocolate Ybarra - chocolate cake with cayenne pepper and cinnamon, chocolate frosting dusted with choped Chocolate Ybarra, a dollop of vanilla frosting "whip cream"
Flaming Hot Cheetos - red velvet cake, vanilla frosting, crushed Flaming Hot Cheetos, and Flaming Hot Cheeto garnish

They all turned out good except the Jamaica needs more flavor. Back to the test kitchen on that one.
