frosting crazy

I can not believed I have survived a year of baking without a proper set of measuring spoons. I had lost the 1 tbsp and 1 tsp of the set and I have been getting along by the use of conversion.

Today is one such day that I decided to make a cake and assembled all the ingredients only to remember I haven't got a proper measuring spoon - so convert away I did.

The cake turned out very very moist - maybe I had made a wrong calculation about the liquids in the recipe for Cappuccino Bundt Cake. It may not be perfect but hey it's still edible!

I had a surplus of caramels, so I melted that with a few tablespoons of milk and drizzled it over the cooled cake. Then remembering how the caramel tasted good with chocolate from the last time I made Caramel apples, I decided to melt some chocolate and drizzle it on the cake too. You'd have thought at stop there but no! - I added some glaze to!


caramel, chocolate and sugar glazed choco cake, something for the sweet tooth indeed!

dressing up desserts

I had just purchased a half gallon tub of ice cream and wanted to dress it up by making waffle cups. I knew it is made of the same batter as pancakes but without a waffle cone or cup maker I have a general idea on how I can make it into a basket shape and make it crispy. So I started by making pancake batter (again feeling lazy I used boxed mix) and thinned it bit with a little more milk. I cooked them as you would a pancake but since it was a thin batter you have to be careful in flipping it as it is more delicate.  When it has cooked I arranged them on an inverted slightly greased muffin pan then I bake them at 100 degrees until they were crispy - I did not want to bake them at higher temperature for fear of burning them so I baked at a lower temperature for longer time. dessert time!!!!

caramel apples!!!

... I grew up in a country where Halloween isn't really celebrated with all the hoopla of jack-o-laterns, halloween parties and trick or treating... the highlight of my childhood halloween was a contest amongst us kids on who can make the biggest ball of wax from candle drippings and the occasional scary story... ...  6 Granny Smith apples 6 wooden sticks 1 (14 ounce) package individually wrapped caramels, unwrapped 2 tablespoons water 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract 1 1/2 tablespoons coarse sea salt 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
