Cream cheese swirl brownie cake.

by 5 Comments


Well that was a mouthful. I wanted to make cream cheese swirl brownies, but couldn’t find an 8×8 or 9×9 pan handy. So instead, I used a springform pan and turned it into more of a cake. I need to work on my swirling technique, though. People make it look so easy! I thought I put it in for too long, but the inside was still moist as ever. The one thing I would have done differently is make the cream cheese mixture sweeter by adding more sugar. That would’ve made it perfect!

I rushed to take pictures of this before the sun set since I hate taking pictures with flash. I really need/want to buy of those Lowel Ego Lights. If only I could scrounge up a hundred bucks. 🙁

Bakerella’s Cupcake Pops

by 6 Comments

But wait… what’s inside these precious little cupcakes?

…Red velvet cake, of course! Bite sized desserts are the best because they’re always the perfect amount. You can get more if you want more, or just a tiny bit if you only wanted something small. Bakerella’s (link under my favorite blog) cupcake pops have basically exploded over the flood blog world and I thought I’d give them a try because they’re so cute! It took a bit of practice before I got them looking just right. They’re so simple to make and appealing to the eye. They were a hit at my boyfriend’s sister’s baby shower! The shell is made out of molded chocolate; The bottom half is created using a candy mold and the top is simply dipped into a colored vanilla flavored chocolate. I’ll definitely be making these again to bring to other parties.

Chunky Chocolate Chip Cookies

by Leave a Comment


I know, I know.. I just baked chocolate chip cookies a couple weeks ago, but let me tell you my story: So first off, my favorite school bag breaks and I have to tie the strings together in order to keep it from falling apart and make it last for the rest of the day. Bust! Then, I didn’t get to eat anything the entire day besides breakfast (keep in mind that I’m in class ALL day long), and I decided to get a chocolate chip cookie from a vending machine. Turns out one cookie from the vending machine is $1.50. What a rip! But, seeing how I was already hungry as it is, I sucked it up and paid the buck fifty. I even used one of my crispest dollars (cause those were all I had.. and anyone who knows me knows how I am with crisp money haha)! Right after I put the money in, the handle turns and my cookie gets stuck! Bummer! No cookie for me.

So with all this frustration, the first thing I do when I get home is bake chocolate chip cookies… 2 dozen of them. I was able to bake my bad day away and get my cookie in the end! Thank goodness for baking. :]
