Make it Monday (a little late)

Posted in Back to Basics, Desserts, Valentines Day by

Happy Monday! I hope everyone is enjoying the spring like weather.  I was finally able to bake today. I made chocolate chocolate chip sugar cookies. I was in the mood for something chocolaty and I though it would be good for Valentines Day.

This recipe is from Martha Stewart. I don’t have many tips or tricks for it but I do think it is better with vegetable shorting. When it is replaced with butter it becomes too soft.

Also use a really good quality of coco powered. I would use a better quality but I am on a college budget. They turn of great either way.

Before baking them I would roll them in sparkling sugar. You know the crystalized sugar. It makes a nice crunch on the outside. I didn’t have any so I skipped it.

I hope you have a great week!

Hope you had a great weekend and did something fun! This will be a short post because it is midterm week at school. Since Fall and Winter are my favorite seasons I seem to be always found in the kitchen baking. For the 1st day of October my roommate and I made Pumpkin Doughnuts. They were a huge hit and only took 1 hour to make.

Back to Basics: Red Velvet

Long time since I posted a recipe or a blog post. I really love blogging but at the end of the day I it is last on my to-do list. I am trying to get better and write posts when I am free.

My favorite all time cupcake has to be Red Velvet. Even though I am from the Northeast and it is a classic southern food I can always find room for a red velvet cupcake. It is my way of telling bakeries apart. A great bakery will have a most and chocolatey cupcake with a cream cheese frosting. Any other type of frosting would mean it is not true red velvet.

Lemon Raspberry Cupcakes

Posted in Cupcakes, Recipe by

I have to make a confession… I don’t like summer. When you ask most people what their favorite season is 9 out of 10 times you will get summer. I love Autumn 🍁 and Winter ❄. While I don’t love summer, I do love summer fruit especially raspberries. My favorite combination is lemon and any kind of berry.
