Take a Picture First

So the other day I made homemade whoopee pies. People wanted to eat them as soon as I was finished. I quickly thought of my blog and said I need to take a picture first so others know I don't just make cupcakes all the time.

They are a light green if you can't tell, it was for St. Patrick's day.

Everyone said they were really good. While one was enough most couldn't do it and gave into having another.

Right now I am all about fruit so if I do something amazing I'll show it.

I can make cupcakes

So I like to bake that's just who I am. I bake anything; cookies, brownies, cakes, and cupcakes. If you think of other things that can be baked, I probably do just not as much as what I have just mentioned. Everything I make is made from scratch, it is very rare for me to use a mix.

It has been quite s0metime since my last post but it has not been the same in the kitchen. I have made tons of different kinds of cookies, lots of different cupcakes and have attempted to make several cakes. I say attempted because with the exception of that chocolate cake I made for my sisters birthday my cakes turn out dry or flat. I think they look good though.



This is a yellow cake I made. It looks good and the frosting tasted like the fudge in the Keebler Elf cookies. The cake itself was dry but had a good flavor.

I made other cakes too and they weren't very good. So I made cupcakes , many different kinds.



Red-velvet Cupcakes with Cream Cheese Frosting. This was the first time I piped frosting like this so some look better then others.

Over-all they were great people loved them. With my cupcakes always turning out I've decided it OK that I can't make cakes, I can make cupcakes.

I'll try to take more pictures but it's just not a thing I do if I don't think about it.

It's her Birthday

My sister asked the other day if I would still make her a cake for her birthday and what she would have to do for it to happen. I told her I would make her a cake for ten dollars. She agreed and then I said that she just needed to buy a few things and I would make her a cake. In the end the supplies she bought cost about five dollars.

She told me what kind she wanted and my first thought was... really? It was a chocolate cake that I had made before. It wasn't my favorite but if that is what she wants I'll make it. It's her Birthday.

I did the frosting a bit different this time around just for fun.
Here is the cake.

Okay, I'll admit I am not a huge fan of chocolate cake but with this one I'm being converted.

I only make good things.

Most days I spend baking something. It doesn't really matter what it is but I remain with my mantra, "I only make good things." I was talking to my sister the other day because her birthday is coming up, so I told her I would make her a cake. She asked me what kind and I said whatever you want. She said she wanted a sugar-free cake and so I said never mind.

Today was no exception, all I had in mind ware apples. We have apples and need to use them. I thought of making a crisp or a pie. I looked at different recipes and couldn't decide so, I made both. Not as two separate dishes but combining them to make something good. I used parts that sound good and added extras to add to the goodness.

This was the result. It looked good so I cut it.

Yeah, it was that good.
