Food for BBQ?

[wesleysgirl]

We're going to a BBQ on Saturday evening. We don't *have* to bring food, but I'd like to and I'd like it to be something a little fancier than potato chips and Coke. However, the car will be fairly full of other things so we don't have room for a cooler (unless it's a tiny one) so anything requiring refrigeration is out (we have to drive more than 2 hours to get there or I wouldn't worry about it). Any ideas?

Corncakes!

The recipe talks about serving them hot with maple butter and while there's nothing wrong with that, they're great at room temp with blueberry jam or even salsa.

I'm bringing cupcakes to the picnic I'm heading to this weekend - special request. The ones I'm bringing have a crumbcake topping, so no messy icing issues. I think I might also bring along the orange ones that are topped with orange marmalade and chocolate ganache - which will also hold up better to the heat. Still thinking about which cupcakes to make -- there'a peanut butter one in my book that has the chocolate ganache topping, so it will hold up well.

Oh man, I'm definitely making those corncakes at some point even if it's not today. Thank you! Cupcaaaaaakes. Yum.
