Okay, here’s my baking molds adventure, blog-style! Alright, so I was scrolling through Insta the other day, and BAM! Heart-shaped cakes everywhere. I was like, “I gotta get in on this!” Valentine’s Day is coming, and honestly, who doesn’t love a heart-shaped treat? So, I decided to try out some heart-shaped molds for baking. First things first, gotta buy the molds. I hit up my ...

So, all-purpose flour. Sounds pretty straightforward, right? That’s what I thought for years. Just grab the bag, any bag, and you’re good to go. Turns out, it’s not quite the magic dust I once believed it to be, even though it’s still the main guy in my pantry. I remember when I first started actually trying to bake things, not just helping my mom. I’d ...

Okay, so today I wanna share my little adventure with making “dulce sugar.” It’s not some fancy recipe or anything, just a thing I kinda stumbled into while messing around in the kitchen. It all started last week. I had a bunch of leftover sugar – the regular, granulated kind. And, I was watching some cooking show where they talked about caramelized sugar. Got me ...

Alright, so I’m gonna spill the beans on my latest kitchen adventure: baking a pie in an aluminium pie plate. You know, those cheap-o ones you can grab at any grocery store? First off, I grabbed a couple of these plates. They’re light, flimsy, and honestly, I never really trusted ’em. But hey, I was feeling thrifty. Preheated the oven to 375°F (about 190°C), standard ...

Alright folks, gather ’round! Today, I’m spillin’ the beans on my glazed fruit adventure. It all started with a hankering for a proper fruitcake – the kind that’s dense, boozy, and studded with jewel-like candied fruit. First things first: Picking the fruit. I hit up the market and grabbed a mix of stuff: cherries (both the bright red and the dark, almost black ones), some ...

My Caramel Sandwich Cookie Adventure Alright, so the other day, I got this massive craving for caramel sandwich cookies. You know the kind – two buttery cookies with that gooey, chewy caramel in the middle. Store-bought ones are okay, I guess, but they never quite hit the spot, and honestly, they cost a small fortune. So, I thought, “Hey, I can totally make these myself!” ...

So, someone asked me the other day about low gluten flour, and it kinda threw me back to this whole baking disaster I had a while ago. It’s funny how you learn things, usually the hard way, right? I decided I was going to bake a super delicate, fluffy cake for my niece’s birthday. You know, one of those ones that just melts in your ...

Alright, so today I’m gonna walk you through something I whipped up in the kitchen recently – red velvet shortbread cookies. I’d seen a few pictures, and they looked pretty neat, so I thought, why not give it a shot? Sometimes you just gotta try these things yourself to see what all the fuss is about. So, here’s my little adventure with these red beauties. ...

Alright, so I decided I was going to get a bit fancy for a little get-together I was hosting. You know how it is, you see these pretty pictures online, and you think, “Yeah, I can do that!” My big idea this time? Individual desserts. And I stumbled upon these 3 oz dessert cups. Seemed like the perfect size, not too much, not too little. ...

Right, so let’s talk about these cute cookie cutters. Everyone wants their bakes to look good, yeah? And you see all these perfect pictures online. It’s not always that simple, though. Not by a long shot. I got it in my head a while back that I needed cookies with more… pizzazz. Tired of the same old circles. So, I went looking. Hit the internet, ...
