Made With Love

Had to try this after having it at Friendsgiving. Of course I tweaked the recipe a little...cause I dont know how to leave anything alone 🤣🤣

Hi all. Hope to be back in the kitchen soon. I had to have surgery, just waiting til I'm strong enough again😊

Sorry I haven't posted in a while, I'm dealing with some health issues.

Just playin in the kitchen yesterday and her we are...

Peanut butter cheesecake filled chocolate cupcake with peanut butter meringue icing and topped with a dark chocolate Reese's. OH...did I forget to mention that the wrapper I put them in is edible chocolate😲.

Week 1: Episode 1: Challenge 3 (Showstopper)- the Challenge was to bake 36 miniature British cakes. I did 6 minis and 1 big one (cause how do you get rid of 36 minis😬). So this is a Hazelnut Genoise Cake with a dark/milk chocolate ganache, hazelnut Swiss buttercream icing topped with truffles.

I was told it tastes like a reeces😁 and would pair great with coffee. The hardest part of this cake was finding hazelnuts in July.

Baking my way through the Great Bristish Baking Show
S1-E1-Technical Challenge: Mary Berry's Classic Cherry Cake

I love the way this looks... but to be honest... I'm not a huge fan of candied cherries. This was actually a pretty standard cake bake. However I've never used ground almonds in a batter before. It's definitely a texture change. The moistness of it is good and there's a little crumbliness (is that a word) to it that I kind of enjoy. Looking forward to hearing the opinions of my taste-testers.

I failed to get it out of the pan without cracking it😬... but the drip icing does a pretty nice job of covering that mistake 😉.

Decided to bake my way through the Great Bristish Baking Show...Here's my 1st ever Swiss Roll - S1-E1-Challenge 1

It was interesting to bake a cake with no oil or butter. I'm so surprised that it was still pretty moist. Hardest part was flipping the cake out of the pan onto cooling rack without breaking it. And even though everyone who ate it disagrees...I think there was supposed to be less raspberry filling so that I could get more of a swirl when cut.

My new goal is to bake my way through The Great British Bake-off. This should be fun! I promise to post pictures... good or bad. Wish me luck🤞🏾
