Word Of Mouth

It seems I'm starting to develop a bit if a reputation for myself at work. The 'leftovers' from all of the chocolate adventures this week have been making their way into the office everyday but because it wasn't possible to share yesterday's 'spares' my team were very disappointed this morning. Hubby's were too (have I already mentioned we work in the same office?) and with tomorrow being Friday I was asked to redeem myself by making a couple of treats for some of the different team meetings that are planned.

One of Hubby's staff members is moving into a different team on Monday (this happens a lot where we work!) so he requested the Chocolate Muffins with the Fudge Icing I made a couple of weeks ago. Apparently the staff member in question has been asking for them everyday since so he thought it would be nice to give her a batch for her moving team present. He did request that they be made exactly the same as the first time but I ran into a small obstacle with this, I ran out of cocoa powder, resulting in a less chocolaty looking muffin. Fingers crossed nobody notices! I also added some white chocolate decorations this time (so even if anybody does notice I'm hoping the pretty decorations will take their mind off it).

And then we arrive at Miss SD's desk (that would be my friend from the Not So Jammy Muffin post). She is having her team meeting tomorrow too and everyone is taking in a treat to share. Miss SD asked me to make the Toblerone Cheesecake and while I don't actually belong in the same team they are like a surrogate team to me so I was pleased to be asked ;0)

The only problem with making these items is that I did promise right at the very start of Chocolate Week that I would be making something I've never tried before each day. I was going to get around this by making a third chocolate item as well but to be honest, after a full day' work and making the muffins and frosting and the cheesecake and dinner I never got around to it, the couch and a cuppa was too appealing. Sorry. I promise to make it up by the end of chocolate week though.
