Pumpkin Whoopie Pies

Ahhhh the joys of pumpkin, nothing like a little pick me up to start your day then the smell of fresh pumpkin baking in your oven. The Whoopie Pie is a very remarkable creation(i say the it was named after Whoopie Goldberg) . Its quite fun its like making the pumpkin chocolate chip cookies we make here at the store just with no chocolate chips and its a sandwich. We didnt use the icing in the recipe unfortunately, we were pressed for time so we just used the icing we had made already. It was nice and dense and moist and just OH delicious(as of everything from baked is). Tomorrow shall be Raspberry Breakfast Bars(YAY) i love them, to die for

P.S
Heroes. Watch it, Mondays 7 on Global

Banana Cupcakes/Jesus

Saturday we had a catering to Mackay at the curling rink and we decided that the easiest and less mess dessert was a Cupcake. For months we had been searching for the perfect Banana Cupcake and i think we found it. Its Fluffy and moist but to the extent where its really rich and dense. Remember to really ripen your bananas before making this recipe. I didn't use the pastry cream though for the cupcakes, i just used a good old fashioned chocolate icing(with added Kahlua). it was a tremendous hit. Everyone kept getting seconds and thirds of this delicious goodness in a cup.

Ok today we have made Jesus in the form of a brownie. That's right, The Baked Brownie. The Most MAGNIFICENT work of art all in one. Oprah is very proud to call this her favourite. There is a saying my house. Martha is God, Baked is the Bible and The Baked Brownie is Jesus. Always make sure you have the time to do this, i kept getting sidetracked with other things. I fully recommend making this brownie though its just heaven when you bite into it. Im basically ADDICTED to it. Ok this time tomorrow is the Lemon Lime squares i promise you that.

Millionaires Shortbread

ok i FINALLY got to the Millionaires Shortbread (AKA Fancy Twix Bar), First off when deciding to make this dedicate your day to it. Time is key for this recipe and be patience(even though im not). I had a new experience today when kneading the dough for the shortbread crust, very interesting. Dont fret when double boiling the sweetened condensed milk to make the caramel filling that you find little bits and pieces its not a big deal. also get comfortable shoes, really helps. Again my stove being oh so old i had to leave my shortbread crust in for a half hour longer then what Matt and Renato said. Tomorrow i shall be making Lemon Lime Bars. See ya Tomorrow

P.S

Heroes Season 3 on Box Set DVD THis Coming Tuesday(September 1st). Question are the people who do the marketing and such stupid? i mean releasing this the day before my school starts is very foul play. if only they released it a week ago then i could have the time to watch it instead of ditching homework of my morning Biology class. its just not fair. Hmphf

Red Velvet with Cinnamon Icing

Saturday making the Cinnamon didnt turn out too well, the milk, cream, flour, sugar mix was ready goes into the stand mixer, put it in stand mixer then panic. Let the mixture cool down before you add the butter. My Mistake. I tried to fix the consitensy with icing sugar and putting the icing in the refrigerator but i was in a rush sadly. I had to only use two layers becuase the thrid layer and the icing did not go well together. It looked like on big giant pile of mess. Tasted really good though. The cinnamon icing went well with the cake. but my warning, Dont let the butter melt. very bad. Anyways today im making the Millionaires Short Bread and i will keep you updated on that

Oh My

Well, 7 years ago on Tuesday, August 25th Julie Powell started the Julie/Julia Project on my 9th birthday. That day i was playing Mario Party 2 with Katherine and Mingye then for breakfast we had the most amazing Raspberry Mousse cake which i ate because they didnt like Rasberries. Who doesnt like Raspberries? Honestly, Best berry in my opinion.

Today was the Red HOT Velvet Cake. When making the water, red food colouring and cocoa mixture, dont dip your finger in and try some unless you like food thats bitter. But the cake is far from bitter when you add the butter shortening and SUGAR. tehe. Best science project ever invented is involved with this recipe. First time ever Jordan Young mixed together Vinegar and Baking Soda. I had a sheer thrill running through my veins when i saw the foamy bubblyness of awesomeness happen right before my very eyes. It turned out pink due to the fact that my tablespoon still had an itty bitty bit of red food colouring in it. Still amazing though. Im making the Cinnamon icing for the cake tomorrow as it is for Breannas Birthday Party(shhh she doesnt know about the icing change) Venturing to Wal Mart tonight to garb a highly requested Easy-Bake-Oven for her. 3 more minutes and it should be out, Keep you posted

Oh and By the way, Baked Bars are a HUGE success with customers at Yummy. Its a way better recipe then any other Ooey Gooey or SOuthern Bar i can think of. The coconut in the crust really helps it hold together better. Go Buy Baked NOW! haha See you tomorrow

(P.S)
I have pictures of it all i just cant find that damn cord to upload them. Ta Ta for Now

The Baked Bars

Today was Baked Bars. Sweetened Condensed Milk goodness with the essence of butterscotch, white and milk chocolate chips. Mushing together the graham crumbs and coconut literally felt like in between your fingers(and under your fingernails, most annoying feeling ever). Never try to hold a 9 x 13 glass pan with one hand while trying to open the refrigerator door, the crust could tumble everywhere! luckily with my almost cat like reflexes saving the crust but with the consequence of cracks but that can easily be fixed. I exchanged the walnuts for almonds because i have packages and packages of sliced almonds in my kitchen. I love sweetened condensed milk, dont try to lick the can though, your tongues will not like that. My oven is a little more old school so it had to be in longer then in a normal one. But dont despair, the golden crusty look kinda says its done. The aroma OH! dont get me started on the aroma. Sugary delight fills your kitchen and is just a feeling of aaaaaa. waiting for it to cool down i will tell you on the tastey flavour on it tomorrow

Flourless Chocolate Cake

Well today was a good say. We had a catering to deliver to City Hall. Our good friend Stephen who left today to go back Home helped me with the delivery. Happy Birthday Jason!!! your birthday will be filled with Red Velvet and Zac Efron joy today(plus the 5-foot hannah montana cardboard cut out). My Assignment today was the Flourless Chocolate Cake. My hands have never been covered with so much Dark Chocolate before. I still smell of it. My life has been a sham with this cake until i found out what soft peaks were. I just waited for a little bubble on the surface of the egg whites. While putting the cake in i burned my hand(OUCH!). Ive never seen an apron so covered in chocolate before. OMG! That cake is so.....DEVINE! The smooth, chocolatey texture just melts in your mouth. We said screw the forks and used the knife we had to cut it with as our utensil. Its an Orgasm in your mouth. Baked Bars Tomorrow
