I’ve struggled with cookies — from burning them to accidentally making one giant cookie blob. So I’m starting a small baking challenge: revisiting the kinds of recipes I’ve messed up before, starting with cookies and biscuits.
For my grandpa’s birthday, I baked a mix of familiar and new cupcake flavors.
A selection of cupcakes was prepared for a February Book Club meetup, featuring flavors like Chocolate, Banana and Curd. The Book Club read Monk & Robot by Becky Chambers.
Trying to go towards different direction than cupcakes, I made a plan cake for Book Club in January. The cakes were The yolk cake (wallnut cake with yolk topping), orange cake, and layered honey cake.
Chestnut with chestnut cream, Chocolate and chilli muffin with whipped cream, Banana muffins (eggless) and Apple with caramel cream.
Some cupcakes and tiramisu I've made for guests.
Banana bread cupcakes with whipped cream.
First time using the wafer butterflies. Aren't they adorable!!
Chocolate, Peanut butter, Mint chocolate chip and Vanilla with Berries cupcakes.
Chocolate base with strawberry cream cheese frosting and Coffee, Almond and Banana-Chocolate chip bases with cream cheese frosting.
I was slightly obsessed with recipes from Tasty back then.
I wanted to try something very new for the Cozy BookClub, so I've made little cakes!
I have felt like baking today again, so I made some orange flavoured and coffee flavoured cupcakes.
When I was younger, there was a lot of ads for the "mole cake" a Dr. Oetker cake you can make from powder. It has been on my todo list to re-make it from scratch for a while. So I have decided to make one for Valentines day.
I was asked to make a cake, so I've decided to make it sacher style, but square.
Vanilla chocolate chip, Pumpkin spice with Cheese cream, Coffee with Whipped cream and Orange muffin.
It was pretty hot, and cheesecake was more suitable than a cake for birthday.
Banana bread, Chocolate with Raspberry, Coffee and Vanilla with Strawberry.
Another set of cupcakes, this time for a halloween D&D games. I think they came out pretty well.
I wanted to make lighter. less sugary cake, that would also look nice. I have settled on putting a bunch of fruit on top of it. I think it came out looking really nice, considering how worried I was when placing it.
Honey base with fired meringue, Peanut butter base with peanut butter topping, Coffee base with coffee swiss buttercream and Cutrus with orange buttercream and candied oranges.
It's too bad I haven't thought of taking better pictures at home. These were first themed cupcakes I attempted.
For the monthly DEFCON meetup in Cluj, I brought two kinds of cupcakes—matcha and caramel—with toppings to match the vibe.
I felt like experimenting with baking, so I've made a cake that had chocolate base, curd frosting and raspberry flavouring.
I have been comissioned to make a cake, so I made chooclate dough and slapped some bananas + whipped cream in middle.
I was stressed, so I baked some cupcake and experimented with decorating them.
We had a picnic style meetup with other book club, so I brought banana bread muffins with tiramisu. Shame the tiramisu melted and spilled, so it didn't stay looking this good.
I tried easter theme for these cupcakes.They are Curd and Vanilla, Banana Bread, Orange and Coconut cupcakes.
Peanut butter, Coffee with chocolate ganache and whipped cream and Chocolate with fig jam, chocolate ganache and mini marshmellows.
Worried about the frosting, I made the no-bake cheesecakes with Raspberry, Apricot and Mango topings.
My rendition of the famous cake from the Portal series. It was pretty fun to make! Although getting the correct cherries was slightly difficult.
First photo I have of cupcakes I bring to BookClub. Probably first time I brought them.
