Okay, so they're not new ideas "galore," per se. But since I have been without my own kitchen for five days now, I did not waste precious time. Instead of baking, I thought of future projects. And, not to brag or anything, but I've come up with some fairly phenomenal ideas, if I may say so myself. Here they are:
1. Marbled Pound Cake -- I had some at Starbucks three days ago and now I want to have some in my house, all the time
2. Cappuccino Crème brûlée -- made in individual cappuccino cups
3. Chocolate Covered Love Stamp Cookies
Now, you may be thinking to yourself: "What are these chocolate covered love stamp cookies you speak of, Iana?" Well, here's the idea:
I would probably take some chocolate chip cookie dough, cut it in squares, and bake it. Then, after taking it out of the oven and letting them cool, I would cover them in chocolate ganache and right as the ganache starts hardening, I would stamp a heart or a love something or other on top. This way, it would look like a Valentine's Day postage stamp (you know the ones they come out with every year around February and that a lot of people use on engagement and wedding invitations)... but it would be bigger and made with chocolate! Of course, I probably won't make this one till it's closer to Valentine's Day so as to not spoil the surprise. That and I haven't quite figured out how I could stamp a stamp design into the chocolate ganache. So if anyone has any ideas, please let me know!

Potatoes work well as stamps...just cut whatever design you want in them (make sure your design is sticking out not carved in). I'm not sure about chocolate as a medium, but they work well with paints.
