SWEET IDEA!

Make these cupcakes fun and kid-friendly by omitting the sprinkling of fleur de sel on top of the frosting and topping them instead with crushed peanut butter cups or a few Reese's Pieces.

Almond-Orange Torte

My friend Meg's birthday is in June, and I always try to celebrate it with her. It's one of my favorite beginning-of-summer rituals. Once I rented a little cottage near the beach in Rhode Island for part of the summer, so we had Meg's birthday there that year. A small group of us toasted the evening with Champagne and then enjoyed an incredible almond torte from my favorite Rhode Island bakery, Provender Fine Foods. I'm a little fuzzy on the details from later in the night (I know there was more Champagne), but everyone had a very good time. I now think very fondly of almond torte, which is an elegant cake for any occasion, especially a spring or summer birthday when the guest of honor doesn't want heaps of buttercream. This one has delicious citrus flavor, just enough saltiness, and an almondy, orangey glaze that brings the whole thing together.
