MACARONS!!!

    This week we made.....MACARONS. After making I wondered why we chose something to hard as our first start from scratch pastry. The answer? We were stupid and craved macarons. Anyways, the process was actually pretty simple but very time consuming. Needless to say we fail. The cookie things turned out okay but were a bit cracked and the cream itself did not turn out good. The texture was not right and the overall look looked off. In the end we made some macarons and ate the rest as cookies, which is also great because I love cookies! Below are some pictures of the outcomes. They were vanilla flavored.

Final product.

The cookie tops and bottoms of the maracons.

Going French

  Nhi and I decided that this week we will make MACAROONS! ♡ We looked at a couple different recipes and decided we will probably make two different flavors. I am not 100% sure what the flavors are going to be but it's very likely that is vanilla and raspberry.

Two is Better Than One

This week on the 15th I made my 20 time project pitch poster and I presented it on Friday, the 16th in class. I also found out that I was doing a project similar to one of my friends, we both wanted to bake pastries from different countries around the world. We decided to work together for this project because two is better than one. 

Coffee Cake

This week I baked a coffee cake, well more like tried to bake a coffee cake.  The cake didn't turn out as well as I expected but it didn't taste horrible either.
