The Art Of Baking

Happy Halloween Everybody! Hope its a night full of spooky costumes, delicious treats and great costume parties :D. Halloween is a night for everyone to get creative with their baking, decorating or costumes. Its a day to let loose and have a lot of fun no matter what age you are. For my contribution to tonight's Halloween menu, I have made some delicious candy corn sugar cookies , which are two different flavors, vanilla and chocolate.Also, you will obviously notice that they look like two different cookies, but actually there the same recipe but altered by color and shape. The vanilla cookies were not prior chilled before baking and the chocolate were chilled. It's a silly mistake by me, but that comes with the territory in trying new recipes and baking. However; I'm glad that it looks like I made two different cookies and did more work lol :D These cookies definitely pack a punch in flavor.The vanilla dough fits so well paired with

These pizza twists have a very colorful attractive appearance along with its seductive aroma. It will latch on  to anyone as soon as there done baking and out of the oven. So make sure to make them big and make a lot of them. They are even easier to handle and more portable then pizza plus the filling can be easily change to your liking.

 I finally found a dessert/baking community for  baking bloggers to submit their specific blog topics. I found it from another blogger and I'll be submitting my blog very soon. The site is a little case sensitive on image sizes,but if you can make them the exact size you wont have a problem. I'll see how this new site will turn out, looks like a lot of blogs have already joined. So check it out, DessertStalking .

On Friday afternoon, I was really anxious to try out my candy molds I got for my birthday so I made some peanut butter cups . They were really simple to make and I recommend anyone that loves peanut butter and chocolate to use this recipe. They are even better then the store bought Reese's from what my family tells me. I  have never been a big fan of Reese peanut butter cups because I find them very sweet and artificial. I would always give away my Reese's when I was young from trick and treating. However, if your a Reese fan or not a fan like me you wont be disappointed at all with this recipe, I certainly wasn't.If there is a way to make anything homemade its usually the better choice for flavor and great texture.

On Wednesday evening, I made some of these delicious big chocolate chip cookies that were quick and easy to make. I just needed something quick involving chocolate so I could conquer my addiction to it by giving in.I think a lot of people can sympathize with being chocolate addicts. On Martha Stewart I looked at her collection of chocolate chip cookie recipes online and found the right one for me called "Crispy And Chewy Chocolate Chip Cookies" . They had just the right balance of crispy edges and chewy melty centers.They are a great cookie for dipping in milk or coffee. Every time I ate one I had to have milk with it, just makes sense doesn't it?

Hey Everyone. Recently I've been looking into finding a baking community website where you can showcase your blog and your posts along with a profile about yourself. If anyone has join one they know of or seen one let me know? So far all  I've seen is either food communities or different ones such has healthy food communities. Is there a community site for the baker's, I would assume there is one out there somewhere. Ive seen blogs, where people can join other people and you do different projects at times. But in wondering if there really a website you can share your blog on. Maybe I totally missed it, but let me know? Or maybe someone really needs to make one.

Ever since Saturday's family gathering I've been really wanting to make my own homemade tortilla chips, but every recipe I see online is for store bought tortilla.So I chose to make homemade flour tortilla( from foodess) ,then take to the next level and bake my own chips with using "How to make homemade tortilla chips" , which surprisingly uses no oils for the baking. I was actually wonderfully surprised how good they were, I thought they be a little plain tasting or not crunchy enough. However they were very crunchy and golden. They were better then the store brand because you can control exactly how much salt or seasoning you want, plus a whole a lot cheap for more.

Just yesterday, I found out that the food network channel shares the same birthday as me. I find that pretty interesting since that's my favorite channel. I also know that the food network turn 10 years old on October 4th, 2010 and I was 10 years old when it was born :D. I  however do wish that the food network was born before 2000 because there are so many chefs, bakers, and cooks etc that could of shared their creativity earlier on screen and more easily with other talents. Also, people could of tune in on all the creativity and really learn something new. But I'm glad that it was born when it did because it's one of my inspirations and learning curves. Happy Birthday!

Happy 20th Birthday To Me Love this picture because its Hello Kitty and birthday cake.  This is a really awesome picture that comes from a  really interesting blog called Hello Kitty Junkie, which features anything you could think of to know about it. If your a fan, have children that love hello kitty or just interested you wont be disappointed. I'm already looking at computer wallpaper and reading information :D. Anyways, my birthday has been pretty relaxed so far and planning to spend the rest of the day with David . I had a family gathering birthday party on Saturday, which was really fun. I am really thankful for all the wonder gifts I received. The food was really delicious with all my favorites and the birthday cake was uniquely beautiful. The day to be explained in a nut shell was full of laughter and smiles.

I had my birthday family gathering this weekend(Saturday), while my actual birthday is this Monday. My mom made me this marble cheesecake. Which includes whip cream along the sides with sprinkled sliced almonds. It has raspberries all along the top and fudge icing piped along the top and bottom. Then she used my heart stencil and made icing sugar prints on the top. It was a really awesome cake and deliciously rich.It was my 20th birthday cake and I thought it was great.
