Making everything for the first time
I had two tubs of strawberry yogurt that would go bad if I don’t eat it soon. Unfortunately, I left my bag of all-purpose flour in the other apartment and the only thing left is whole wheat flour, which isn’t nutritionally bad but whole wheat is not exactly known for its smooth, moist properties in [...]
My mother perfected brownies. She managed to create a brownie recipe made of six simple ingredients. And this isn’t just any brownie, she produces incredibly moist, flavorful brownies with a very very thin crispy crust that contrasts with the gooey insides. *sighs* Now, I’m good with the basic brownies. I’m extremely happy whenever I manage [...]
This isn’t exactly a cheesecake. Which is why I said “cheese cake.” Harhar. The cake itself is a chocolate moist cake, the frosting is made of peanut butter and cheese, and a drippy dark chocolate ganache covers it all. The strongest flavors are chocolate and peanut butter and fans of Cone Zone’s peanut butter choco [...]
The whole family does share a love for chocolate, so I decided to make cookies for dessert. And since we didn’t have chocolate chips – silly me, I forget the littlest things – I chopped the bar of baking chocolate that I had lying around for a month. I guess my even chopping looks a [...]
NOTE: I will not classify this as a disaster since the cake tasted great overall. However, the frosting was not blended properly. It should have been smoother. Will not make this mistake again in the future. For Mom’s 50th birthday, I couldn’t think of a nice cake to bake. We’re all a bit tired of [...]
What’s my favorite chocolate frosting? This one’s a family classic and is a wonderful companion to your favorite chocolate or mocha cake recipe. This doesn’t have the consistency of buttercream or even whipped cream. Think peanut butter only more chocolatey. It is very pliable and firm and can be smoothened with a spatula, drizzled with [...]
NOTE: As you can see from the photos, this experiment was a disaster. That cake itself was good but the whole thing made me cringe. What did I do wrong? I didn’t mix the frosting right. And what’s worse is that I applied the frosting while the cake was still warm. MAJOR NO NO! The [...]
Also known as the heart-shaped man-cake. My dad turned 51 today. I promised that I would make something appropriately birthdayish to bring to work. Last night, I conked out while reading at 7:30 pm. I woke up at 4 am the next day, realized that I had made NOTHING and that I had 3 hours [...]
