Pecan Sandies

These were my results after baking the easy Pecan Sandies. I wasn’t sure whether to add powdered sugar or granulated sugar, so I add both. I crushed the pecans, and at the top of each cookie I added a large piece of pecan to top them off. My entire family said they enjoyed the pecan sandies and they’d like me to do them again soon. I recommend this recipe to anyone because it is very easy to make and it’s delicious.

Pecan Sandies

My next baking project will be to make Pecan Sandies cookies. The best part is that the recipe only requires 5 ingredients and is conveniently super easy to make. It is also very quick and looks delicious, and I thought I would make something different besides just cakes and cupcakes. Ill post back pictures of the cookies later.

Red Velvet Cake Results

Although I did not take any pictures of the red velvet cake I made, I did manage to take a picture with my phone. As you can see my RED velvet cake did not end up so red, although the batter looked pretty red to me, once I took it out of the oven it was brown as if it were chocolate—and many people also asked me if it was chocolate cake. I also did not have enough pink fondant to completely decorate my cake or add any extra decorations. But I did make two small 6 inch cakes and stacked them on top of each other to make one tier. I also filled the cake with vanilla icing although I added coffee to give it a coffee mocha flavor; between the two cakes I added pieces of walnuts instead of fruit. I only brought a couple of slices of cake to school and for the most part, people said they liked it. 

Marble Cake

My next baking project will be on a marble cake, I found the recipe  online and I chose it because it is supposed to be very moist, although I might make double the ingredients because instead of making a 9 inch loaf cake, I am going to make 24 cupcakes or more.

Cupcakes Ive Made In The Past

These are some images of the cupcakes I’ve made before. The cupcakes on the left, I made on Halloween and tinted the icing orange to go with the theme and topped it off with a plastic bat ring. The pink cupcakes on the right i made for a friends birthday and i made the icing pink and added sprinkles to the top.

Valentine Cake Ideas

These are some of the cake ideas I would like to try.

I would really like to try to make fondant roses that you roll up and I have also found a website that teaches me how to make them and it seems very easy and exciting. I would also like to attempt to make a bow on the cake like the one in the upper left corner. I plan on having the cake done by valentine’s day which is a week from now.

What is Buttermilk?

Since my recipe for making red velvet cake called for buttermilk, I decided to do some research. I have never worked with or used buttermilk in my baking experiences, in fact this is the first time I ever hear of buttermilk. The following video explains more on what exactly buttermilk is
