Dinner Chez Les Wolfs
May 17, 2008 | From the kitchen of Rose
During a recent DVD planning visit to Gold Medal Flour/General Mills in Minneapolis I finally had the pleasure to meet Marie and family in person. Of course after reading her extraordinarily expressive and entertaining blog www.breadbasketcase.blogspot.com I felt like I already knew Marie very well. And amazingly she was exactly and delightfully like her blog voice! By the way, her daughter Sarah is just like her which means she is also very much her own voice and person! Her comment about our meeting (afterwards) was "like two peas in the pod!" (Better than two loaves in the oven right?!)
I was planning to do a full report but what with the copy editing swallowing up every waking second she beat me to it! So I encourage you to make a visit to her blog (it's the April 10th posting) and you will read not only her take on the evening but also see her husband Jim's excellent photos and several comments including my own!

Hi Anomymous,
Genoise can work in a cupcake form as some have adapted an author's genoise cake pan recipe to make cupcakes. Our only suggestions are to experiment by dividing up the recipe's batter to fill the cupcakes 2/3rds for some and 3/4ers full for others to see which level gives you the right baked height. You may want to make just a half recipe as well. From there you can experiment with the ingredients or oven temperature.

I love the chestnut genoise cake and plan to try it in cupcake form. Will a genoise batter work just as well in this form, and what adjustments, if any, do i need to make in ingredients or cooking time or temperature?

THANK YOU for sharing Marie and do all the work. Rose's cameo appearances like this one are just great.
Congratulations, and baking all breads from Bread Bible, beats me!!!!!!

As all of you fans of Rose can imagine, it was a once-in-a-lifetime thrill and pleasure to be able to host Rose, and her relatives and friends, for a wonderful evening.
