I’ve been wanting to make one of these for a while now, but wanted to master cream puffs first. Before I started this blog, I tried making cream puffs (which at the time I thought was a fairly easy task, but I was wrong). The first time, I made the dough, called patè choux, the…

Oven Baked Churros, So much better than fried!
One day last week, I really wanted a churro but I didn’t want my entire house to have that gross, stale fry smell that always comes with frying something, nor did I want something heavy and greasy. So I had to find a different way to satisfy my churro craving. My search led me to my…
Chocolate Soufflè Attempts 1 & 2
This time I tried to make chocolate soufflè. My first attempt wasn’t too pretty at all, I tried another Tasty recipe. I don’t have anything against them, I love watching their videos, but, every time I try to make the recipe, it never turns out how it does in the video. In the spirit of…
Coconut Macaroons!
I’ve wanted to make macaroons for a while & today I finally did. It’s actually a lot easier than I originally thought it would be. They didn’t turn out perfect but what recipe does on the first try? That’s why you try again! Mine looked good for a first try and tasted amazing, so there’s…
Getting Fancy! Crepes: Chocolate and Plain!
This time I tried my hand at crepe making and for the most part it was successful, but there were mistakes made as well. I think that goes for every recipe you try for the first time, though. Contrary to what the recipes tell you, you don’t need all the fancy pans and tools that…
Vertical Layer Cake
I didn’t know this kind of thing existed, until I saw it on the Food Network YouTube channel, so I watched the video to see how this type of cake was even possible. Let me tell you, this was super cool to watch and after the video was over, I had decided that I wanted…
Japanese Cheesecake Attempts 3 and 4: Success At Last!
Welcome back to my numerous attempts at perfecting the Japanese Cheesecake. I tried a different recipe, this time from one of my favorite baking blogs, Bigger Bolder Baking. Her recipe is incredible, it just took me two additional tries to get it right. Mistakes were made in my third attempt, but the fourth try just…
Japanese Cheesecake Attempts 1 & 2
I’ve been seeing videos and recipes everywhere for Japanese cheesecake, so I decided to try my hand at it. So I did, and it didn’t look too pretty either time! Granted, the first time I made this, a lot of mistakes were made. The recipe I used both times was from the Buzzfeed Tasty page….
Homemade Marshmallow Fondant!
I’ve heard and seen so much about making fondant from scratch in pretty much every cake decorating video that I’ve watched recently on YouTube, but I was a little skeptical at first seeing as some of the recipes I saw called for glycerin and lots of fancy candy making skills that I’m pretty sure I…
M&M filled Piñata Cake
I’ve seen these awesome cakes all over the internet, so I decided it was time that I tried one of these cakes myself. When you slice into the finished cake, whatever you chose to fill your cake with, whether its M&M’s, like I used, or sprinkles, like I’ve seen in a lot of these…
