Okay, so let me tell you about my little golden harvest honey adventure. It all started last week when I decided I was tired of buying honey from the store. I mean, it’s fine and all, but I wanted something… more real, you know? First things first, I did some research. I googled “how to harvest honey” and watched a bunch of YouTube videos. Some ...

Okay, let’s talk about this whole oil-based natural food coloring thing I tried messing with. So, I got tired of those artificial colors, especially when I needed something for chocolate or frosting that doesn’t like water. Regular natural colors are mostly water-based, right? They just seize up chocolate or make my buttercream weird. I figured, there has to be a way to get color into ...

Getting Started with Those Caramel Cookies Okay, so I decided to tackle these caramel sandwich cookies today. Been meaning to try them for ages, you know? Saw a picture somewhere and just couldn’t get it out of my head. Felt like a good weekend project. First things first, I pulled out all the stuff I needed. Flour, sugar (both white and brown, the recipe said), ...

Okay, so, recently I got super into baking, like REALLY into it. I’m talking sourdough starter names and hydration percentages all day. And one thing I kept running into was recipes calling for “high gluten flour.” I was like, “Alright, let’s figure this out.” First things first: the research. I hopped online, dove into forums, watched a ton of YouTube videos (shoutout to all the ...

Okay, here’s my take on a blog post about mini silicone spatula sets, trying to capture that casual, experience-driven vibe: ## My Adventures with Mini Silicone Spatulas (Spoiler: I’m Obsessed) So, I was scrolling through Amazon the other day, right? Just kinda browsing, you know how it is. And I stumbled upon these mini silicone spatula sets. I’d seen them before, thought they were cute, ...

Alright folks, let me tell you about this little project I tackled recently – building my own electronic crane scale. Sounds kinda fancy, right? But trust me, it’s more about the journey than the destination (though, the destination is pretty cool too). So, where did I even start? Well, first off, I had this crazy idea. I wanted to accurately weigh stuff I was lifting ...

Okay, so I got into this whole honey weight thing recently. It started because I kept looking at honey jars in the store, and sometimes one jar looked bigger but weighed the same as a smaller one, or vice versa. It was kinda confusing when I was trying to figure out recipes too, like how much honey I actually had. I remembered hearing somewhere that ...

Okay, so let’s talk about this whole gluten-free biscuit thing. I didn’t just wake up one day wanting biscuits that taste like, well, not biscuits. My stomach started kicking up a fuss quite a while ago. Went to the doc, got the usual runaround, and finally, they suggested ditching gluten. Great. Just great. My afternoon tea ritual felt doomed. Diving into the Gluten-Free Aisle So, ...

My Matcha Wedding Cake Journey Okay, so this whole matcha wedding cake thing started pretty unexpectedly. My good friends were getting married, super low-key, and somehow, the cake duty landed on me. They know I mess around in the kitchen, bake a bit here and there. But a wedding cake? That’s a whole different league, right? And they wanted matcha. Not vanilla, not chocolate. Matcha. ...

Alright, let’s dive into my latest baking adventure: caramel sandwich cookies. Man, was this a journey! I’m gonna break it down for ya, step by step, the good, the bad, and the oh-so-delicious. First things first, the cookie dough. I started by creaming together the butter and sugar. I gotta say, my arm was killin’ me! Next time, I’m totally using the stand mixer. Anyway, ...
