Pink cupcakes with green frosting. The color scheme began when we made strawberry cupcakes and our toddler asked to make the frosting green "like a leaf" so the whole cupcake looked like a strawberry. Now regardless of the flavors, he always wants those colors. I think it's great 🤣
Generally speaking in our house my husband does the baking and I do more of the fancy cooking. It makes sense as he’s an analyst and I’m a lot more free form haha. That being said, since we got a bread machine I’ve been making bread more, it’s just too easy and comes out so good.
If I had to bake something right now though, I’d make a rhubarb crisp. Especially as that’s literally something I’m doing today since we have so much rhubarb! Hmm, maybe rhubarb and blueberry..
My top three faves are sourdough bread, layer cake, and macarons. Depends on how much time I have and who I'm trying to impress. I've finally gotten decent at bread. I can make a cake that tastes great but can't decorate better than a 6 year old. I'm surprisingly good at making macarons.
Chocolate peppermint crinkle cookies. People love them. They look cool because they're a crinkle cookie. They're ready. They have a fun story about how I fond the recipe. Perfect cookie to give to people. If they don't get eaten in a day, they stay soft for at least two days instead of hard rocks like a lot of cookies.
They're a fridge cookie, and a shaped cookie, so if you like cookies not taking awhile to firm up, or hate shaping cookies in your hands and getting a bit messy, they are not the cookie for you!
Would you be willing to share the recipe? I have made them a few times for holidays and I find that I just can't compete with store bought. I like most my other pies more than store bought pies but apple is just so particular.
So... Someday i learned that you can make cookie stamps with a 3D printer very easily just from pictures and i had to promote something about electronics at work. So i made elektronic-circuit-looking cookies to luer colleagues in the lab. The were of course awesome
One day a colleague dumped his badge into his coffee mug that was standing on the table because his badge used to be on a necklace and he was bending over to connet a monitor for presenting.
Some time later i thought it would be hella funny to make him a bunch of rectangular badge-sizes cookies that looked exactly like his badge, except they said: "badge to dip into coffee"
He didn't even get the joke at first. He was just speecless i made cookies with his face. Any way, after getting the joke he showed them to everyone in the office that stepped by his desk.
Also when organizig workshops i once made the best cherry cheesecake that i ever made and i don't think i will ever make a better one. I often times think about it.
At one point i decided to become a cakefluencer and documented the process of making a rainbowcake. It tasted really disgusting because of all the coloring i was using. It looked relly cool though. The colleagues at work where nice enough to say thd liked it, maybe they really did. I don't know. (I did not become a famous cakefluencer) Edit: the color sections were also off
Nowadays i work for a more uptight company, so no fun cookie stuff anymore. But i will have my last day next week, so i will bring cake on friday. I will attempt to make mango cheesecake because i've always wanted to try that. And also some vegan cake with nuts or something.
I will add some pictures later if i don't forget and also english is obviously my second language.
Either cake, or mini baguettes and bread rolls. For the mini baguettes I'll bake like 2 of them until they're almost too crunchy, and then eat both while they're still piping hot! Ugh now I'm craving some so bad LMAO 😭
