April's SweetShop

I cannot remember a time when I did not bake. My mother bought me my first "Robin Hood" apron, chef's hat and oven mitts when I was just 6 years old. I have noticed a trend in the bakery world. Bakeries are making gorgeous cakes and cupcakes that look like a work of art. The trouble is, when you take that first highly anticipated bite, it is a complete disappointment. I may not be able to create a piece of a cake that looks like a Gucci purse, but I guarantee it will taste amazing!

Chocolate Chip Cookies

Yesterday Robert texted a picture of a cookie he was eating and asked me to make him some cookies. So I did! I have been making chocolate chip cookies for so long, I don't follow a recipe. It's been in my head for about 15 years. I thought I would use my hand mixer, rather then my huge KitchenAid. I have to tell you, that after being spoiled by my KitchenAid, it was rather difficult going back and using a hand mixer. This is probably because I like to cream the butter for a long time, then cream it with the sugar for a long time. I don't know how I went so long without a KitchenAid!

This weekend, I am planning on making some Red Velvet Cupcakes. I'll let you know how that goes. Enjoy your weekend.

Love and Happy Baking,
