A new tip

2011-09-28T15:48:00.000-07:00

So this weekend my mom and I went to Joann Fabrics and I got some new baking equipment! I was so happy so the next day, I had to make something so I used my petal tip (# 127). I found a ice cream cone holder that my aunt gave to me a long time ago so I decided to use it.

What you need:
1 cake mix
ice cream cones
frosting

Make the cake mix or you can make it from scratch

Fill the cones and put it in the oven for 30-40 minutes.
I deleted the picture by accident of what they looked like when they came out but I guess you'll see.
I made flowers out of frosting for the first time with my new tip and they came out better than I thought they would.

So I just put them on the cupcake and added a leaf.
It's really easy and fun!

My sister decorated the cupcakes.

Enjoy

Brownies for the Bake Sale

2011-09-11T09:41:00.000-07:00

Last week my sister and I did a bake sale at the end of the street and donated the money to the Cleft Palate Team at Wolfson Children's Hospital. So we made the easiest cookies ever, brownies, and cupcakes.

3/4 cup cocoa powder
3 eggs
3/4 cup melted butter
3/4 cup chocolate chips

Sugar and flour

These are the cupcakes we made.

Chocolate chip cookies

2011-09-10T19:43:00.000-07:00

So my chocolate chip cookies NEVER turn out because as soon as I take them out of the oven, they turn into pancakes! But I found a solution. I know it sounds crazy and gross but instead of butter, use olive oil! They were actually fantastic.

What you will need:
2/3 cup Pure olive oil
3/4 cup sugar
3/4 cup packed brown sugar
2 eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla
1 teaspoon butter extract (I used vanilla so that would be 3 teaspoons of vanilla)
1 tablespoon milk (I ran out! Coconut milk substitution!)
2 1/2 cups flour
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 cup of chocolate chips obviously
nuts optional

Mix the olive oil, sugars, vanilla, eggs, and butter extract.

Add the rest.

Mix the chocolate chips thoroughly

This pic is before
I added the milk.

My handy ice cream scooper. Umm...I meant cookie dough scooper

They don't spread out very much so just push them down with your fingers.

YUMMY!

Smore Cupcakes, Please!

2011-08-28T14:20:00.000-07:00

So I don't know if you read my post about the National Smores Day but I found a way to make them into cupcakes. I made it up myself but they probably exist somewhere in the world.

What you will need:
chocolate chips
Marshmallow fluff
1 stick of butter
1/2 cup white sugar
1/4 cup brown sugar
1 tsp vanilla
1 egg
1 1/3 cup flour, extra for dusting work space
3/4 cup graham cracker crumbs
1 tsp baking powder

Cream the sugars, vanilla, and egg until smooth. In a seperate bowl, mix the flour, crumbs, and baking powder. Slowly add the dry to the wet. Preheat oven to 350.

Get out cupcake pans (mini or regular). I used mini. Grease and flour the pans (don't use paper cups).
Roll out the dough and cut out circle and press them in the pans and make sure some extra dough hangs out the side.

Scoop some fluff into the cup. Put chocolate chips on top of the fluff. Fold the extra dough on top so the chocolate is covered. Get a fork and poke wholes in the top. Put it in the oven for 15 minutes or until the dough has risen.

When they are done, they are kind of hollow and if you don't like that, you can mix some fluff and chocolate chips together and then put it in a piping bag or a plastic bag and snip the corner off. Make a little whole on the top and pipe some in until it's full.

Enjoy

Easiest cookies EVER!

2011-08-27T19:41:00.000-07:00

What you will need:
1 box of any cake box mix
2 eggs
1/2 cup vegetable oil

That's all you need! I made these for school lunches and I made medium sized ones and it makes about 45 cookies but I only ended up with about 7 because everyone ate them:(
Sift the cake mix and then add the eggs and oil. Mix it together and preheat the oven to 350 and then bake for 8-10 minutes. All done! I took pictures but it is not letting me upload them to the blog so I will put up the video with PrincessDiana161

Cut out Cookies

2011-08-26T21:03:00.000-07:00

So I finally got my dad to let me bake something but my mom said that it could only be for school lunches so I just picked the easiest. Cookies!

What you need:
11/2 sticks of softened butter
1 cup sugar
2 eggs
1tsp vanilla
21/2 cups flour
1tsp baking powder

Mix butter, sugar, eggs, and vanilla.

Add the flour, baking powder, and salt.

Cover and chill for 1 hour. Preheat the oven to 400. I forgot to take the pictures so I'll just tell you. lightly flour the surface of your work space. Roll out the dough and get out your cookie cutters and baking sheet. I just made circles. Cover the baking sheet with parchment paper and put the cookie shapes on it. Bake them for 6-8 minutes. Let them cool completely.

Frost with your own frosting. I used 3/4 cup confectioner sugar and 3-5 drops of water( the frosting is only for cookies). Mix it together and add the food coloring.

Enjoy

Hummus

2011-08-25T17:39:00.000-07:00

Put it on a tray with chips and it's delicious but only lasts about 2 days covered and refrigerated.

Mashed Potatoes

2011-08-25T17:30:00.000-07:00

So I already posted about mashed potatoes but I deleted it so here is a different recipe.

You will need:
6 potatoes
1/4 cup butter
salt
pepper
1\2 cup sour cream

Peel the potatoes and chop them up and boil them.

You can use a hand mixer or do it the old fashioned way by the hand masher.
Add the sour cream and the butter.

Add the seasoning and mix it together.

This is my really easy and quick way to make mashed potatoes. I honestly have to say that it's not my best way. The way I usually make them takes 2 days but I'll post about that kind after Thanksgiving.

National Smores Day!

2011-08-17T14:50:00.000-07:00

No knead bread!

2011-08-09T10:19:00.000-07:00

I found the easiest recipe for bread in the world. You don't have to knead it and there is almost no mess at all. It calls for instant yeast but I found out that you can use 3/4 teaspoon of regular instead.

What you need:

3 cups all purpose floue

3/4 teaspoon yeast (or 1/4 teaspoon instant yeast)

pinch of salt

Mix them all together with your hand or a spoon.

Add 11/2 cups warm water.

Cover and leave it to sit for 12 hours.

Preheat the oven to 500 and put the pan your cooking it in, in the oven to preheat it.

Pat down the dough when it's ready and fold it like a square.

put it in the pan and put the lid on for 45 minutes and then 15 minutes with the lid off.

Poached Egg

2011-08-07T10:47:00.000-07:00

I never knew that poaching an egg was so easy. I messed up the first time because the water wasn't hot enough.

What you need:
an egg
1 tps. vinegar
salt

1. Crack the egg in a bowl without breaking the yolk. Fill a medium sized pan halfway up with water and add the vinegar and some salt. Wait till the water has bubbles coming up to the top but doesn't fully boil. Whisk the water until there is a swirl and drop the egg in the middle. It should turn white when you first drop it in or the water isn't hot enough.

It's a little watery when it's done.

Enjoy!

Cheap Popcorn

2011-08-06T18:09:00.000-07:00

Did you guys know that November is national popcorn month?! Well here is a really cheap way to make homemade popcorn. Yum!

What you need:
1 tbls. softened butter
1 tps. popcorn salt
1/4 cup popcorn kernels
brown lunch bag

Get out a bowl and put all the ingredients in.

Mix with a fork.

Not done yet! Keep mixing.

PERFECT! Put the mixture into the brown bag. Put the bag on a microwave safe plate. NEVER staple the bag shut because I heard that the bag can catch on fire.

Put it in the microwave and put it in for about 2 minutes. Do NOT use the popcorn button thingy if you have one. Listen for popping and when it's done and still popping put it back on for 20 seconds.

When it is done and you smell burnt popcorn you messed up and have to start all over again.

The bag soaks up most of the butter.

Enjoy!

Red Velvet Cookies

2011-08-01T15:41:00.000-07:00

Cake Pops

2011-07-31T19:56:00.000-07:00

1 box of any cake mix
1 package chocolate chips ( I used milk chocolate)
any decorations (coconut, sprinkles, mini chocolate chips, ect.)
package of lollipop sticks, skewers, or straws

1. Make the cake according to directions.
2. Let it cool off and put it in a big bowl. Crumble it and add the frosting. Mix it in with your hands or a spatula.

3. Roll them into balls and if you are picky about the size you can use an ice cream scooper. Put them on parchment paper on a baking sheet.

4. Melt 1/2 cup of chocolate chips in the microwave and dip the end of the skewers in and poke them into the balls.

5. Put them in the freezer. Get out your double boiler and put the rest of the melted chocolate in the boiler and the rest of the bag in.

6. Get out the balls and dip them in the melted chocolate and use a spoon to spread and take off the extra chocolate. Put on the decorations on before the chocolate hardens. Put them back in the freezer for a couple of minutes.

2. Get out a spoon and put a spoonful of chocolate on the bottom of a cupcake liner and spread it around on the sides.

3. Freeze the cups for 5 minutes. Take them out and you will be able to see where you didn't put enough chocolate on because it will be thin so double coat in and put it back in the freezer.

4. Peel off the liner carefully and you have to do it fast because the chocolate will melt. The liner will rip but it should come off easily.
5. Put them back in the freezer for 2 minutes and get the fillings ready.
6. Fill the cups with your choice.

I decided to start my whole blog over again because it's been a little over a year since I've last posted. This blog is about baking and cooking.
