Portland Int'l Takes on Winter with New Deicing System

Jennifer Bradley
Published in:

Managing the residual chemicals from deicing operations at Portland International Airport (PDX) includes vexing challenges on two fronts: Portland's highly variable winter weather is unpredictable at best, and its local environmental regulations are predictably tough.

Project: Deicing Management System

Location: Portland (OR) Int’l Airport

Cost: $76.26 million

Budgeted Amount: $77 million

Funding: $46.71 million from passenger facility charge revenue; $17.7 million from Series 19 bonds; $7.6 million from Port of Portland; $4.25 million from state grant

Predicted Annual Operating Costs:
$2 million (double previous system’s)

Design Consultants: CDM Smith; Gresham, Smith and Partners

Operational: Winter 2011-2012

Efficiency: Removes 99.5% of deicer
from stormwater

Storage Tanks: 3 million-gallon tank for
concentrated water; pair of 6.5 million-gallon tanks for dilute water

Full-time Operators: 3

Online Monitoring Instruments: 15

The airport's owner/operator, the Port of Portland, recently addressed both challenges with a new deicing management system that cost about $76 million. The system, now in its second season, features new flexibility to process and manage runoff according to varying concentrations of deicing fluid - an attribute that earned it high marks from airport officials during its first winter of operation.

The need to maintain stormwater discharge permits from the Oregon Department of Environmental Quality drove the initiative to upgrade the airport's previous system, which was less than 10 years old. In 2006, the agency mandated the Port to address its non-compliance.

The conditions of the permits are derived from years of study about the Columbia Slough, which until January 2010, was the only body of water that received stormwater runoff from PDX. As such, there is strong regulatory pressure and community advocacy to protect the integrity of the slough. Because the water flowing through the slough is controlled by a local agency for flood management purposes, the Port faces extra challenges in effectively managing the pollutant loadings allowed to enter it.

To resolve its unique challenges, the Port combined environmental research and technical expertise from airport engineering firms with input it elicited from PDX's carriers.

Each airline's environmental experts were involved in the planning process and invited to all design meetings, including remote sessions and workshops with consultants, explains Port of Portland Project Manager Susan Aha. Throughout the design process, the Port and airline project team discussed and questioned assumptions - particularly those that affected construction costs, Aha recalls.

The meteorological dataset to be used for the analysis was a prime example. The initial plan entailed using the entire 50 years of meteorological data available for PDX, but the airlines questioned this assumption and hired a climatologist to perform an independent assessment of the data. The analysis was persuasive, and the Port consequently used 22 years of meteorological data instead.

"We were very open and transparent with (the airlines)," recalls George Seaman, an engineering project manager for the Port of Portland.

It's important for airport executives to develop relationships with their airline colleagues and make collaboration enjoyable, notes Aha. Working with PDX's carriers so cohesively was a "huge success from a project standpoint," adds Seaman.

The benefit was revealed when Aha and the airlines' environmental representative joined forces to brief the Airport-Airline Affairs Committee about the project. It was extremely helpful having the airline representatives there, acknowledging that a new system was necessary and agreeing to the plan in lock step, recalls Aha. Such collaboration makes it much easier to convince the "money people," she adds.

Not So Fast

Forming the partnership, however, took time and trust. Aha says that the first mention of spending $70+ million on a new system was "not very palatable to the airlines" - especially since the Port had spent $36 million for a system that went into service at PDX in 2003. The news inspired the airlines to rigorously research the Port's claims about non-compliance, notes Aha. "They had to satisfy themselves, which they eventually did," she explains. Then, their focus turned to cost containment. Value-based engineering was key throughout the project design phase, and a process the airlines appreciated, she relates.

Obtaining feedback first and understanding what guidelines the body of water required made the approval process much easier, summarizes Aha.

Widespread community outreach was also an important factor, adds Seaman. Because the new system would create new outfall to the Columbia River, the team members braced themselves for controversy from environmental and neighborhood groups. Port and PDX officials consequently mounted a public education campaign, explaining the project to a dozen neighborhood groups, myriad environmental groups, Columbia River tribes and of variety governmental leaders. "That really enabled the job to go further very smoothly," says Seaman.

Teamwork was also essential, he notes: "Everyone focused on the project's success more than their individual success; and because of that, everyone was successful individually."

A New Approach

The Port hired two engineering firms to provide technical and environmental expertise for the project. CDM Smith and Gresham Smith and Partners (GS&P) worked together to develop a new and better way to manage deicer runoff. One of the main challenges the duo faced was designing a system to operate under a wide variety of circumstances. "There are times which would have very little flow with a high concentration of pollutants, and others with very high flow rates and lower concentration of pollutants, and all combinations in between," explains Tim Arendt, GS&P's principal-in-charge.

Engineers used GS&P's proprietary GlyCAST(tm) deicer management software to simulate responses for various weather conditions, which led to the design and inclusion of an anaerobic fluidized bed reactor biological treatment system. The computerized modeling system used 22 years of local hourly weather data to generate simulations for storage, pumping system, treatment systems, etc. The results provided insight about the most cost-effective ways to manage a wide variety of stormwater and deicing situations. This enhancement gives the airport flexibility, confidence in compliance and ensures the vitality of the water bodies it depends on, explains Arendt.

The nuts and bolts of the new system began with re-routing winter stormwater that would normally discharge to the Columbia Slough on the south side of PDX to the Columbia River located to its north. CDM Smith designed a processing component that controls flow through the three new pump stations, 6 miles of pipeline that connects them to each other, the treatment plant and new outfall at the Columbia River. Online meters give real-time biochemical oxygen demand readings of the stormwater pollutant concentration in any area where they are located, says Mark Ryan, CDM Smith project manager. From that, he explains, pump stations are programmed to either pump to a certain area, certain tank or the treatment plant.

"I think this is pretty cutting-edge as far as having this number of pump stations around the airport, synchronized and working on an intelligent network to make the best decision of where to convey the water and treat it, or release it," relates Ryan.

While individual parts of PDX's system are used at other facilities, it is the system as a whole and the multiple technologies working cohesively that make it unique, he explains.

Biology in Action

When Aha traveled to other airports to survey their deicing systems, one message came through loud and clear: Build in flexibility and options to facilitate response to a variety of conditions. So that's precisely what the design team did.

Three new storage tanks were built to segregate water based on its deicer concentration, explains Arendt. One 3 million-gallon tank holds concentrated stormwater and two 6.5-million gallon tanks handle more dilute water. After separation, the discharge is sent to the slough, river, sanitary sewer or on-site treatment plant. Having its own treatment facility greatly reduces PDX's dependence on the local sewer system, he adds.

The onsite anaerobic treatment plant uses live bacteria to break down the deicer chemicals into methane and carbon dioxide - a process that required some initial tweaking. The first batch of bacteria used to seed the system proved to be too weak, but the second, procured from a fruit processing plant, got the plant up and running with ease, recalls Aha.

Operational readings from last winter, the plant's first deicing season, indicate that the process removes fully 99.5% of the biochemical oxygen demand, reports Arendt. Because the system must be maintained at 90F, runoff is heated by the methane captured as a byproduct.

"We were lucky on two accounts," says Ryan of the airport's experience with the new deicing management system. "The weather was mild, and the staff worked through glitches. They rolled with it and made everything work. They are the big success story in all of this."

For Aha, the bottom line is clearcut: The new system allows the Port to "keep the doors open" at PDX. "Without it," she says, "we couldn't comply with our permits, and wouldn't be able to deice."

The flexibility of the new system, however, goes well beyond regulatory compliance. The system's real-time analyzers help operators, licensed in Level III Oregon wastewater treatment, make timely decisions based on changing weather conditions. The ability to respond to Portland's wide-ranging weather in real-time, notes Arendt, is what truly sets PDX's system apart from the crowd.

Leveraging Technology Throughout the Airport SMS Lifecycle

RECORDED: Thursday, September 7th, 2017 at 11:00 am EDT

Most airport layouts were designed when passengers played cards while waiting for a flight because an onboard meal was an expectation and the very idea of a smartphone would have been laughable.

What was once a mess of beam seating everywhere now has a multi-function use: part lounge, part cafe, part office and a wealth of amenities. New uses of spaces as well as new types of furniture are finding their way into the airport because today's passenger is really focused on getting to point B rather than the journey itself. Airport design and furniture elements have a stronger impact on the passenger experience than one may realize. There's the comfort. The durability. The usability.

Matt Dubbe from Mead and Hunt and Joe Agati from Agati Furniture will tackle these questions and others in: Airport Interiors are Experiencing Massive Change: What You Need to Know.

Nantucket Memorial Goes Paper-Free for Part 139 Recordkeeping & FBO Ops Management

Kristin Vanderhey Shaw
Published in:

With more than 16 million annual enplanements, Boston Logan International Airport (BOS) is the undisputed grande dame of Massachusetts. What many people don't know, however, is that during summer, the state's second-largest airport rivals BOS' flight operations due to its own volume of general aviation traffic.

Located on a small island just off the coast, Nantucket Memorial (ACK) prefers to operate its own fixed-base operator (FBO) to accommodate the influx of summer visitors arriving and departing the picturesque area on private aircraft. Because the airport also accommodates regularly scheduled commercial service, ACK needs staff and systems that can manage traffic on both sides of the tarmac. An onsite fuel farm and fleet of fuel tenders carrying 100 LL and Jet-A help the airport accommodate its bustling summer traffic without being overstaffed during the slower winter months.

As ACK grew, however, management realized that some of the airport's processes needed to be tweaked. A recent migration from paper to cloud-based systems proved to be a major move for the small island facility.

Project: Cloud-based Recordkeeping
Location: Nantucket (MA) Memorial Airport
Vendor: VEOCI Software
Contract Signed: Jan. 2015
Cost: Per-user vs. per-module
Key Benefits: Easier, paper-free Part 139 reporting & purchase order processing; no computer server to maintain

Jamie Sandsbury, ACK's finance and business manager, notes that the airport's previous internal processes were redundant and not optimally efficient. Personnel handwrote purchase orders, maintenance requests and other standard reports, and then carried them to the main office for required signatures. If the appropriate executive was busy or out of the office, employees had to wait or return later, sometimes making multiple trips.

"We were basically 100% paper driven," says Sandsbury. "When processes are completed via paper, things get lost. Handwriting is sometimes messy, and the purchase orders or maintenance orders weren't always easy to read. Also, we're in different buildings across the property; whomever needed to have something signed had to stop what they were doing. That became a time-waster when staff would have to come to the main building and wait for one of us to sign off."

Thinning the Paper Trail
Historically, the airport completed most of the processes associated with Part 139 inspections manually, but in late in 2014, it began interviewing several vendors to help automate them.

"We believed that Part 139 inspections would be easily adaptable to other processes we wanted to automate, allowing us to overhaul several departments in succession," says Airport Manager Tom Rafter. "It's a fairly simple process."

Ultimately, the airport chose VEOCI, a cloud-based software system for managing Part 139 compliance/reporting, facility maintenance and property management that Sandsbury and a colleague discovered at a conference.

Rafter and the operations team liked the system's "building block" approach and the company's pay-by-user (vs. pay-per-module) pricing model. In terms of hardware, the airport only needed a few additional tablets for airfield personnel.

At fist, Rafter was skeptical. Changing from paper to automated processes seemed like a giant leap. His operations team, however, liked the flexibility of addressing a number of different areas without having to purchase individual modules. They also appreciated being able to create new applications on their own. After the ACK team tested the new cloud-based system, Rafter was also convinced.

"You don't even have to be an IT person to manage it," says Rafter. It was important to everyone that the new system would not require a great deal of hand holding, he adds.

Vishu Rao, VEOCI's product manager for airports, says his company's strategy identifies a given process and breaks it down into bite-size pieces users can follow.

After ACK's staff was comfortable with the Part 139 process, they were able to create several other solutions to common in-house challenges with the same building blocks. First, airport staff laid out the process, step by step. Then, they used a point-and-click interface to automate that process. This method allows them to easily improve the process, because
they can make changes and tweak what they have automated, explains Rao.

"Once the airport understands this model, they are off to the races," he says, noting that users familiar with platforms such as LinkedIn and Facebook become comfortable using VEOCI building blocks very quickly.

The opportunity to get the new system up and running very quickly also proved attractive. Once the needs and processes were established, ACK launched its new FBO system within five days, from concept to implementation.

Now, each fuel truck on the airfield is equipped with a computer tablet and alerts pop up whenever fueling requests are approved. Assigned drivers can head straight for airplanes needing fuel, because tail numbers are included on each request. After drivers fuel aircraft, they add comments to that task on the tablet stating how much fuel was used, what was offered, etc.

ACK Operational Supervisor and Aircraft Rescue Firefighter Blain Buckley describes the new process as safer and more efficient. If airliners need fuel, requests with specific amounts are generated at the FBO and pop up for operations staff, who populate them into the dashboard. Personnel inside the "watch room" at the main building distribute work orders as they arrive, thereby reducing the potential for mistakes.

"We specify which truck gets which fueling job, which is one of the critical factors for efficiency for us," says Buckley. "If we weren't paying attention, it would have been possible for an aircraft to be fueled twice."

Empowering Staff
Rao believes it's important for customers to be able to manage their own software and make changes without having to call a vendor.

"Typically, software is frustrating because it's designed by a bunch of software geeks who force you to call them to fix a problem or a bug, and suggestions fall by the wayside," he says. "We don't believe in that. Our philosophy is twofold: first, when a customer calls, we get to the root of what is bothering is an opportunity for us to improve. Second, our customers can make most changes and tweaks on their own. Adding custom instructions or fields for additional data is much easier and faster than emailing the supplier and waiting 'til next year for the new version."

Recently, ACK added a function to process employee requests for time off. Rao describes the project as fairly complicated, with a myriad of moving parts, because the software had to be set up to follow the hierarchy of seniority within the airport staff when processing requests. Before switching to VEOCI, ACK used an Evernote process in conjunction with email.

The new system also helps ACK track wildlife hazards. When birds or other animals are spotted on the airfield, personnel mark their specific location on a map and record the associated flight path, weather conditions and actions taken. Later, they can generate summaries to present during visits by the U.S. Department of Agriculture.

"Now we can see exactly where wildlife has been, including the track of which way birds are flying from the airfield," says Buckley. "We break it down to details, like which particular species are on the airfield at 7 a.m. That collection of data is much easier to go back and look through and figure out what is going on. It's much easier for us to do that onsite and then look back at the history."

The ramp log works with Windows, Android and iPhone, and all the data is available for inspectors to look at on demand. Each reference number is a live link inspectors can use to pull up work orders, Buckley notes.

"Over the years we have used many different databases," Rafter reflects. "Now that we have cloud storage, it's much easier."

Buckley says that the new process has enabled staff to determine discrepancies more efficiently and improves airfield safety. "In the past, we'd have to come back to the office with our report, issue a work order, put it in a mailbox, maintenance would come pick it up, and so forth," he recounts. "This really mainstreams getting that information to the right people."

The airport also uses its VEOCI system to contact employees who are needed for snow removal or emergency duty. The system sends emails, texts and/or phone calls to staff, records their responses and sends reports to the airport.

Rao reports that the new process facilitates better overall communication among the team. If staff members want to see the status of a purchase order, they can log in and see exactly where it is in the process. The system also tracks how many purchase orders are made and for which vendor.

"Being able to customize each feature is important to us, because-like every other airport- we're unique," says Sandsbury. "We have a small administrative staff, and time-saving components are important, whenever we can get them."

Fishermen Initiatives to

Fishery Management
Industry Initiatives

Enhance Sustainability

In addition to federal management regulations, Alaska pollock fishermen have developed a number of voluntary initiatives to enhance the fleet’s ability to maintain a sustainable fishery.

Fishing Cooperatives
Fishermen in each sector of the Bering Sea Alaska pollock fishery have come together to share their sector’s harvesting quota among the participants in the fishery. This system has provided numerous benefits for sustainability. It has reduced the fishing capacity in the fishery, increased product recovery, decreased bycatch, and promoted the development of new products.

Although the Alaska pollock fishery has a very low incidence of bycatch, the capture of non-targeted

pollock harvest

species, fishermen work together to keep these numbers as low as possible. Using real-time data from the federal fisheries observers and satellite vessel monitoring system (VMS), this industry-funded program evaluates the level of bycatch in specific areas and closes those areas which have higher rates. This program enables the fishery to react quickly to changing ocean conditions and the resulting changes in and concentrations of non-target species.

Salmon Excluder Device Research
The Alaska pollock industry has supported the development of a new device that diverts salmon out of a pollock net, so they can avoid being caught.
Scientific Research
The at-sea sector of the Alaska pollock industry has established the Pollock Conservation Cooperative Research Center at the University of Alaska Fairbanks and contributes $1.0 million annually to research intended to increase knowledge of the Bering Sea ecosystem.
Marine Conservation Alliance
The Alaska pollock industry has joined with other Alaska fishing organizations, Alaska Native groups and fishing communities to form this organization. One significant initiative involves the removal of hundreds of tons of marine debris annually from the Alaska coastline.
The Alaska pollock industry regularly gives back to communities through its support of and participation in SeaShare, a non-profit dedicated to providing nutritious seafood meals to hungry Americans. The pollock industry donates well over a million seafood meals annually through SeaShare. Currently, seafood donations through SeaShare represent one of the largest private sector supplies of protein in U.S. hunger relief programs.

Perfect dozen: Twelve night cream

What is it? A concise range of skincare from pharmacist and cosmetologist Pedro Catalá

What’s the USP? A best-of-science, best-of-naturals brand that is pretty no-nonsense for something with so much thought behind it - by which I mean these are lovely, well-formulated products that should work well even on sensitive or stressed skin, and don't cost the earth.

Hero product? Complete Regeneration Night Cream (£48, www.twelvebeauty.com),  which is rich and restorative and which received a commendation at last year's 'Free From' Skincare Awards.

Water-level: Twelve Ideal Moisture Level Serum

Why the name? Because Pedro the founder believes that the skin need 12 key ingredients to get it looking its best and maintaining its natural beauty. These range from gentle botanicals like mallow extract (soothing, moisturising) to high-tech hyaluronic acid (moisturising, helps maintain skin elasticity).

How new is it? Launched in the UK in 2012

I’d try...? The lighter, almost watery-runny Ideal Moisture Level Serum (£45), which made it into the Bazaar Hot 50 last year. Need I add more?

Quiet Desperation

Quiet Desperation is a mystery novel for adults.

Ex-DEA agent and now part-time actor Tuck Matson has been fighting the guilt of his partner's murder since the jungles of Colombia. Years later, Tuck has settled in Malibu, driving a borrowed Porsche and avoiding anything that remotely resembles responsibility. However, the good life never lasts long. A former lover's suspicious suicide yanks Tuck back into the real world. As he unravels the mystery of her last days within LA's seamy underworld, he too is marked for death.

The Music Scene in LiverpoolLiverpool is widely regarded as being one of the greatest music cities in the world, due to its creation of so many top bands and musicians over the last 60 years. In 2001 it was declared the ‘city of Pop’ by the Guinness Book of Records due to the unrivaled number of top records to emerge from the city. Arguably the most famous band of all time, The Beatles, were from Liverpool and they have helped to create a thriving and evolving music culture since they hit the big time in the 1950’s.

Pop Culture

Although The Beatles are the most famous of all of the bands to emerge from this great city, the music scene has moved on a long way since then. Some of the other particularly successful bands that make this city so prevalent in music culture include Frankie Goes to Hollywood, the Coral, the Zutons, Atomic Kitten, the Sugababes and the Wombats. Liverpool has also played an important part in the popularity of dance music over the last 15 years, with one of the largest super clubs in Britain, Cream.
Today the music scene here is extremely vibrant, and lots of up and coming young bands are performing each week in different locations around the city, as well as many internationally esteemed musicians and singers playing at the impressive larger venues. Some of these large venues include the Echo Arena, O2 Academy, The Magnet, Masque and Concert Square.

Current Scene

Recently an awards ceremony was hosted here to celebrate the brightest young bands which are breaking into the music scene and it highlighted the amount of great talent that is being produced by local bands and record labels alike. The event was hailed as a huge success, and some of the bands which received particular attention include Loved Ones, Bang On, and Mugstar.
There is a real buzz in the city at the moment and many people are predicting that there will be a huge number of extremely successful bands to come out of Liverpool in the next few years. Anyone wishing to see some great live music should check out the local listings and snap up some tickets before they’re all gone!

Mocha Cupcakes w/ Vanilla Bean Buttercream Frosting + How to Eat a Cupcake by Meg Donohue {book tour}

How to Eat a Cupcake: a novel

Author: Meg Donohue
Publisher: William Morrow Paperbacks
Source: TLC Book Tours
soft cover: 320 pages

"foodie" elements:  yes

random excerpt: Jake was silent for a moment before his eyes brightened.  I could practically hear his dimples clamoring for release.  "I ate a cupcake the other day, and it wasn't one of yours," he said.  "I was at a party.  Everyone was doing it.  I promise I didn't enjoy it." p.174

summary/synopsis (from TLC):  Free-spirited Annie Quintana and sophisticated Julia St. Clair come from two different worlds. Yet, as the daughter of the St. Clairs’ housekeeper, Annie grew up in Julia’s San Francisco mansion and they forged a bond that only two little girls oblivious to class differences could—until a life-altering betrayal destroyed their friendship.

A decade later, Annie bakes to fill the void left in her heart by her mother’s death, and a painful secret jeopardizes Julia’s engagement to the man she loves. A chance reunion prompts the unlikely duo to open a cupcakery, but when a mysterious saboteur opens up old wounds, they must finally face the truth about their past or risk losing everything.

my thoughts/review:  Friends, family, food, and a hint of mystery all wrapped up into one can't-put-down novel.  I really enjoyed this book.  From the irresistible descriptions of cupcakes with the occasional chocolate croissant thrown in for good measure to the love-hate (thin line...) relationship between Julia and Annie to the suspense of a mysterious man, a lost treasure, and mysterious bad things happening to the shop-in-progress, I found a little bit of everything I loved.  And it kept me glued to the pages.  I found myself carrying the book around with me when I went to pick up my daughter after school or in the kitchen so I could read between stirring and chopping.  Lover's of foodie novels, chick lit, and mystery/suspense will all find a little something for them lurking in these pages.

The following cupcakes were inspired by Julia's "hidden pantry cupcake".  She talks about how she's perfected the act of eating a cupcake.  And then proceeds to describe something that had my cheeks tingling in anticipation...  Back to that very first bite of hidden cupcake in the pantry: a soft cap of vanilla buttercream giving way to light, creamy mocha cake.  I kept eating, turning the cupcake slowly in my hand.  This was not rich, one-bite-and-you-couldn't-possibly-have-more chocolate.  This was refined, complex chocolate cut with a hint of coffee and what else... Currant?  Salt?  A grown-up, masterful cupcake.

So I added Balsamic vinegar to hint at that currant (or raisin-esque) flavor and espresso sea salt along with cold espresso in the batter for those hints of coffee and salt.  I went with a vanilla bean honor of that soft cap of vanilla buttercream.  But if I'm being completely honest, I enjoyed both parts separately, but didn't think these two particular tastes matched all that perfectly.  I think a soft cap of Best Chocolate Buttercream (with malt) Frosting would complete the package to a T.  My oldest son loved them just the way they were, though.  Personal preference!

Mocha Cupcakes w/ Vanilla Bean Buttercream Frosting

by Heather Schmitt-González
Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cook Time: 17-20 minutes
Keywords: bake dessert chocolate butter vanilla beans coffee cake American

Ingredients (12 cupcakes)
    • 1½ c. all-purpose flour
    • 1 c. superfine sugar
    • ⅓ c. cocoa powder
    • 1 tsp. baking soda
    • ½ tsp. espresso sea salt (or regular)
    • ½ c. espresso or strong coffee, at room temp.
    • ½ c. coconut oil, melted & cooled a bit
    • 1 Tbs. balsamic vinegar
    • 1 Tbs. pure vanilla extract
    • 2 large eggs, room temp.
    • 4 oz. butter, soft
    • 1½ c. powdered sugar, sifted + more as needed
    • 1 Tbs. whole milk
    • seeds scraped from ½ of a vanilla bean
    • big pinch sea salt
    making the cupcakes:
    Preheat oven to 350° F. Combine flour, sugar, cocoa, baking soda and salt in a small bowl and set aside.

    Add remaining cupcake ingredients to a large mixing bowl and beat with mixer until well blended. Gradually add in the dry mixture until everything is combined and no more flour is visible. Turn up the speed to high and beat for 1 minute. (You can do this by hand, you'll just have to beat a bit longer - until it looks fluffy.)

    Fill lined cupcake tins (or greased and floured) ~¾ of the way full. Slide into oven and bake for ~17-20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Do not overbake. Transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before frosting.

    making the frosting:
    Beat or whip the butter until light and fluffy, ~2 minutes. Add powdered sugar and beat on low speed until the mixture comes together. Add milk and vanilla bean seeds. Beat on high for about a minute. Mixture should be thick, fluffy, and spreadable. Adjust consistency by adding a bit more powdered sugar or milk, as needed.

    Spread on cooled cupcakes (enough to frost 12 cupcakes). Frosting adapted from the Joy the Baker Cookbook.

    *I received a free copy of this book to review from the publisher. All thoughts and opinions stated in this post are 100% mine.

    I am sharing this post with:
    tlc-tour-host fr2button crazy sweet tuesday Tasty Tuesdays 33 shades of green TastyTuesdayBB hearthnsoul150 a little birdie told me rook no. 17

    1. I would love to have a cupcake with that perfect balance of sweet, not too cloying. It looks like you have mastered it Heather.

    2. I'll just take a big bowl of that frosting, please!

    3. This sounds like a book that I would enjoy too.  Going to pin it for when I finish the stack I have sitting on my desk...h ha!
      Those are some gorgeous cookbooks.  Glad to see you are still baking with Joy :)  I'm still walking around with her cookbook too.

    4. I read this book last week and could NOT put it down. It was truly a great book. I read it on my Kindle, so I worried that I missed recipes in the book. But... alas... no recipes. HOWEVER... check out Meg's website! You will find a wonderful recipe that I plan to make this weekend to share at a birthday party for me. YES! that's how good the recipe sounded: I am going to make my own birthday cake.
      RUSH OUT RIGHT NOW and buy this book. It is a keeper.

    5. Mmmm... qué ricos!!! me llama la atención que llevan vinagre balsámico, debe de quedar un sabor exquisito!!

    6. Nope, no recipes in the book.  I just knew I needed to make a cupcake inspired by one of the many mentioned that had my mouth watering!! I did see that Meyer Lemon Cupcake recipe - YUM! =

    7. This one isn't actually a cookbook...and doesn't have recipe in it - just plenty of delicious descriptions! And yes, haven't stopped cooking with Joy. I've made like 6 more things since the Spotlight ended and see no signs of stopping ;)

    8. cupcake looks so moist

    9. Thank you so much for this lovely review and the book-inspired recipe! These cupcakes look DELICIOUS!!! Would you mind if I posted this on my website (linking to you and of course including your name/site front and center)? - Meg Donohue (

    10. Hi Meg!!  I don't mind one little bit (in fact, I'd be honored).  Thank you so much - and thanks for the fantastic read. I'm passing it on to my sisters next :)

    11. What a perfect little cupcake :) The flavor combo sounds fantastic.

    12. What a beautiful cupcake! I love your recipe. I would never have thought to add Balsamic vinegar to a cake, but it's an inspired idea. I can just imagine the wonderful flavour it adds. The vanilla buttercream sounds wonderful too.

      I have to try these, and How to Eat a Cupcake is now at the top of my 'to read' list!

    13. lovely cup cake...

    14. I REALLY want to read this a major way.  And you put balsamic vinegar in a CUPCAKE! you're my hero.

    15. Velva-Tomatoes on the VineApril 3, 2012 at 9:03 PM

      Love to read books where food plays a central theme. Awesome.

    16. great review, a torn friendship... hmm intriguing, and balsamic ~cool and I love that your son loved them!

    17. Sounds like this book was the perfect fit for you! So glad you enjoyed it - thanks for being on the tour.

    18. What a great recipe and a great book! I'm adding it to my to-read list now. :)

    19. I have been wanting to read this book--glad to hear how good it is. Such pretty cupcakes too--although you just made me want another batch of Joy's Best Chocolate Buttercream. Darn you! ;-)

    20. this recipe is OUTSTANDING!!!!! my only critique is that i put the batter into 12 cup cake cases and they totally overflowed. I had to cut off the tops (but I am loving eating all of the scraps!) I think it's more like a 18 cupcakes recipe. Anyways the flavour is incredible. you would never know there is vinegar in it, it just tastes more sophisticated then most cupcakes!

    21. Oh, thanks so much. I'm sorry about the overflow situation. I sometimes wonder if my cupcake pans are larger than others...they're pretty old-school and I think the newer ones are a tad smaller. Or not. Either way, I'm happy that you enjoyed them! Thanks for the feedback :)

    22. great review, a torn friendship... hmm intriguing, and balsamic ~cool and I love that your son loved them!
