Last night, this humble food blog took a step toward the big time by sponsoring its first culinary event. The pot luck party is a Vermont institution that www.awardwinningeater.blogspotocom kicked up a notch by focusing solely on sweets. The resulting "dessert pot luck" was an unprecedented sugar binge for the ages.
Because I was putting the awardwinningeater stamp of approval on this party, I figured my own contribution needed to be a dessert whose recipe I'd shared on the blog previously. Pumpkin whoopie pies, featured in the January 2011 post 'Tis the Season to Eat Cookies, came immediately to mind because they could be easily cut into bite-sized quarters--an important attribute at a party that ended up having twelve different desserts on offer.
If you want to be an award-winning eater, start by making friends with people who know how to make delicious food. This pot luck is testament to my good fortune in having been able to do so. In order of appearance, my confectionary cohort:
A tangy vein of lemon curd awaited eaters of Rachel's cupcakes.
Pumpkin pie filling and shaved coconut punctuate Jess's perfect tart crust.
Josh blew many minds with his peanut-butter-and-jelly chocolate cookies.
For a little perspective on the scale of hyperglycemic gluttony I engaged in, you should know that all of these desserts arrived at the party in its first fifteen minutes and that I sampled each one just after snapping these photos.
And there was still more dessert to come...
