NikitaHere is a birthday cake I made for a bright and beautiful 5-yr old. This is a 6" 3-layer White Cake with American Buttercream. It looks gorgeous, but challenges occurred. My original plan was to use Swiss Meringue Buttercream, but I could not get the texture right. It seemed so grainy even after heating the egg whites and sugar over boiling water. So that went in the trash. Then I made traditional American Buttercream, but my house was so warm that it kept melting in my piping bag while I was piping it. I'd have to stop and put it in the fridge to chill it. I ended up making a new batch because eventually my cream split and the butter began to separate from the sugar. Extremely frustrating. But in the end, I can say that I didn't give up and eventually prevailed. Enjoy the fun video below! Cammy There is nothing that goes better with leftover chili than honey corn muffins! :)
NikitaI find that the word pudding is loosely interpreted around the world. For example, Bread Pudding is shredded, day-old bread baked in a custard. Yorkshire Pudding looks like a fluffy, over-the-top biscuit with gravy. But Brownie Pudding --> This. Right. Here. Is. Pudding. The recipe came together in under 10 mins, but it took an hour to bake which worked well during our carpool soccer night. I popped it into the oven and made it back with a few minutes to spare on the timer. When it came out of the oven, the top was hard but it jiggled with a little shake of the pan. The brownie pudding seemed undercooked, but it was not. It was in the oven for 60 whole minutes, and it's supposed to be a pudding texture. I used the Hershey's Special Dark Chocolate Cocoa Powder which made this dessert very rich. A wonderful weeknight dessert if you have errands to run. Cammy It's fall all y'all! Continuing the gourd theme, I've made these wonderful pumpkin snickerdoodle cookies. I typically steer clear of any recipe that calls for any portion of it to be refrigerated for any length of time. Likely, had I read the recipe ahead of time, I'd have chosen something different. C'est la vie! These were absolutely worth the wait! Next time I make this, I may add a tsp of pumpkin pie spice.
