Here are some very standard, but very important baking tips for cupcakes! Posting a helpful link counts as a post, right?
Forgive me, I have many, many pictures on my camera that are yet to be uploaded. Most of them are "real food," too! While my primary kitchen-related pastime is baking, I do occasionally eat actual food, and I believe all that is worth sharing as well! (Plus, if it's cooked in an oven, it's technically a "baked good" anyway, right?) More to come.
I have a huge list of baking projects that I plan to tackle in the next few months. With the fall semester just around the corner, classes, labs, research, orchestra and other extracurriculars will definitely cut into my baking time, but with the help of a few of my favorite friends and baking assistants, I hope to manage baking with life.
I am currently intrigued with the possibility of opening my own bakery one day. While I currently do not see myself ever waking up at 4 AM to start baking, the possibility is, as I said, intriguing. Maybe if I cannot find a job as a "real" chemist upon graduation, I can find a part-time job at a bakery! Or, maybe I'll do what most people do, and just go to graduate school to prolong the real world job concept.
Bakery-owner or not, I still have a lot to learn, and share. To list a few things I would like to make by December...
Cupcakes! And not just any cupcakes, but red velvet, carrot, lemon, banana, chocolate, vanilla, and many more!
Frostings! Because they go really well with cupcakes. Buttercream, cream cheese, ganache, you name it!
Fillings! Because they are delicious inside of cupcakes. Lemon curd, chocolate ganache, custard, they're not just for doughnuts anymore!
Gnocchi! Because it is delicious, even if it is not a cupcake. And because I don't need to buy a pasta machine to make it!
Adorable shortbread cookies! Because they will make great Christmas gifts, and because I did buy all those cookie cutters
for a reason now, didn't I?
for a reason now, didn't I?And, of course, anything else that just strikes my fancy.
Stay tuned!
