Hey baby, I think I wanna marry you

Hello,

I'm listening to the Glee cover of 'Marry You' by Bruno Mars- as I have at least twice every day since I watched the episode. I think that must be one of my favourite episodes up to date. The covers are so fun and catchy. As I was telling Sammy who recently got engaged- it's too bad I can't sing or dance otherwise she'd be having a Glee wedding. Come to think about it, it's probably a good thing for her. ha

But anyway, yes this week I decided to bake double choc and walnut cookies. Also, yes that is a cat plate and it's weirdly awesome.

Over and out.

Chocolate Dipped Shortbread

Hi!

Now that I've got a bit of time on my hands, I thought I'd get baking again. This afternoon I decided to make jam drops, but in in the middle of cutting out holes in the center of the dough I decided that I really wanted to have something with chocolate in it ( plus the dough was really soft by this point, making it impossible not to fall apart!)

Solution= melt chocolate and DUNK.

They turned out pretty nicely, although I may have over did it with the vanilla essence. They are very vanilla-ery but still nice and crumbly when you bite into them.





You might have noticed, or will come to notice that the quality of these photos will have decreased in quality- as it will be indeed be myself from now on taking these pictures. So please bear with me people, hopefully I will get better at it!

I'll also leave you my favourite song from the musical Wicked. Kiss me goodbye, I'm defying gravity. muah muah muah

She Lives ! (and bakes)

Holy Cow. My last post was on the 16th of September. The 16th ??

Oh well, no time like the present hey? Tonight's post features the most scrumptious mutation of 3 things yummy. Here's the equation:

muffin + cinnamon doughnut + jam = CINNAMON MUFFIN DOUGHNUT!!

I haven't been in a baking mood for a really long time ( about 3 months to be precise) , but accidentally stumbled upon this cooking blog called Noble Pig.

It featured this recipe and I knew I had to try it. And... success!



There's raspberry jam in the centre, and I made sure the batter mixture and topping was overloaded with heaps of cinnamon. Ooh there's also nutmeg in the mix too. I'd highly recommend giving the recipe a go, its really simple and soooooooooo tasty!

Not sure when I'll post next. The way I see it is , I like to bake because it's fun to not because I feel obligated to which is how i started to feel with this my baking project. It sort of felt like a chore, so now I bake purely for enjoyment.

Till the next time we meet, could be next week or next year. Who knows?
