baked

have you tried baking? i wanted to for the longest time (back in the philippines) but wasn't able to because we didn't have a functional oven then. so when we got here, finally, i got the chance.

the first few months that we were here, i was baking brownies. every week. even twice a week, for a month. no fancy thing though, just store bought brownie mix that i have to mix and put into the oven. sometimes i experiment and put in nuts, choco chips. the house always smells good but then the 3 of us we got tired of eating brownies everyday.

so then late last year, i began to try again. i did the chocolate cheese cupcake turtle. hehehe. anyway, these were the ones from my 1st batch.


my son liked. it i think i was able to bake 4 batches after this (not on the same night though). i baked this on ordinary days. i baked this to g ive out to the carollers. i bake this during our christmas party.

i watch kris tv often, and after watching one of their episodes with erich g baking the butter cupcakes, i did that too. i think the result was not at par as what i was expecting. my son was not a fan, but my husband and brother in law liked it.

and then i did a carrot cake with cream cheese icing for my husband's aunt's birthday. it was good and moist. you can eat it without the icing but i think the icing makes it perfect. i liked it. the birthday girl liked it too.

on that same night, i also baked blueberry muffins. this was also a hit -- with aquim. he'll have it as dessert, as breakfast, as school snack. i was able to bake 3 batches.

for tonight, i'd like to try corn bread. my peg is the corn bread with raspberry sauce and vanilla ice cream from racks at megamall. maybe i should include vanilla and raspberry sauce in my grocery list.
