Sweet Dream's Brownie Bites with Fudge Frosting






Had an image today on how I would make a perfect brownie consisting of brownie + fudge. If you like eating a mouthful of sugar you've come to the right place! I'll write a slightly different post today showing step by step instructions as well as pros and cons of the recipes. I think this will provide a better understanding for the lovely readers on the recipe results!

Giant Chocolate Cupcake


Finally had a chance to test out the giant cupcake pan by Wilton that I've bought for quite some time. These are sure popular! Three orders for this style in the next two months! Better get testing!!
Important things to note:


  • Wilton pan has instructions and also a recipe. Perhaps their recipe works with what they stated; however, it DID NOT apply to the recipe i used. 
  • Fill the pan for the bottom portion of the cake, leaving approx 1 inch room at the top instead of 2/3 full
  • Fill the pan for top portion completely FULL. I made this mistake and the cake didn't spread to the edges of the pan
  • Cake most likely takes longer than 1 hour and 10 minutes. I used a gas stove, took approx 1hr and 25 minutes and the bottom portion couldve still been cooked a little bit longer
  • There will be scraps left over as the cake does dome. I've cut off the tops and can be used for cake pops!

Asian Chiffon Cake


I've been baking more and more during my free time. My husband continues to tell everyone I'm baking and has gotten several people particularly interested in this particular cake!

This is a typical item sold in many asian bakeries, usually wrapped in parchment paper. It is super soft, airy and eggy! It is one of my favourite items and doesn't require many ingredients.
