Always eat grapes downward - that is eat the best grapes first; in this way there will be none better left on the bunch, and each grape will seem good down to the last. If you eat the other way, you will not have a good grape in the lot. |

"Cuisine is both an art and a science: it is an art when it strives to bring about the realization of the true and the beautiful, called le bon (the good) in the order of culinary ideas. As a science, it respects chemistry, physics and natural history. Its axioms are called aphorisms, its theorems recipes, and its philosophy gastronomy." |

baking powder. Set aside. In a small bowl, whisk eggs well. Set aside.
In a small mixing bowl, cream 1/2 cup butter at medium speed.
Gradually add sugar, beating until light and fluffy. Add beaten eggs,
a little at a time, beatiing well after each addition.
Fold in flour mixture. Stir in milk until stiff dropping consistency.
Spoon into muffin cups, filling 3/4 full. Bake in upper third of oven
at 375øF for 15 minutes until pick inserted in center comes out
clean. Cool in pan set on rack. Remove from pan.
Filling: In a food processor, process 1/2 cup butter until creamy.
With processor running, gradually add confectioners' sugar and
vanilla, processing until blended.
Assembly: Cut a 1/4" thick slice from the top of each cupcake. Spoon a
dollop of filling on bottom of each cake. Cut each cake-top slice in
half. Dip cut sides of cake tops in colored sugar crystals. Replace
top cake pieces sugared side up at an angle in cream filling, forming
the butterfly's wings.
