So it's officially fall tomorrow, so I made a log cake with moss and little mushrooms!!! It's my first time making one and I am so proud and excited with how it came out!! (My sister did the piping work, I did the decorating baking and assembly lmao)

Gonna make cider, burn some incense, work on self care and leave an offering in the woods tomorrow when we go for a hike!

Cake recipe:

Preheat to 350

Line sheet tray with parchment paper, optionally spray grease it for even easier removal (i did)

Bowl a:

-4 egg yolk (save the whites!!)

-8 grams cocoa powder or a little more than that of hot chocolate mix

Mix!

Bowl b:

-4 egg whites, beat till frothy

-80 gram sugar, gradually added

Beat to stiff peaks!!

Combine bowl a and b gently!

-55g flour

!!Gently!! fold in!

Pour into pan and bake @ 350 for 13-17 mins depending on your over (ours is shit so it took longer lmao)

Roll while still hot, let cool before adding frosting/filling

Frost outside and decorate!

Easy frosting that tasted Great:

-1 large container whipped cream

-1 large packet pudding mix in prefered flavor (recomended chocolate, or you can color it brown with food coloring for bark look)

Done!! Good job!!!

Jelly filled Donuts!

So this week I’ve done a lot of baking, I’ve make biscuits (which need some work, but great texture), tanghulu (which was a disaster that can be its own post), and these donuts (which are really good when warm)

All of this from scratch too! I made doughs, rose the yeast, kneeded and cut it out to shape my needs, and I was able to creat stuff I’m proud of!

If you’re ever looking for a hobby, I will always recommend baking, even if it’s just from a box! I know 3 months ago I was content simply adding pumpkin pie spice to boxed pumpkin bread mix, but now I’m ready to gut pumpkins and make it from scratch next fall!

Always try new things, and don’t let failures get to you! The tanghulu I made went so bad it burnt a whole through the kitchen garbage bag (which I only discovered today), so the bin itself was covered in burnt sugar, but that’s not gonna stop me! I will master tanghulu even if I burn a dozen more batches (hopefully not though because fruit isn’t cheap…)

Besides, the best part is eating whatever you make! 😋

Made red velvet cupcakes for my friend’s birthday!!

[recipe here. I halved the quantities and did cupcakes instead of a 4-tier cake because they’re easier for sharing and I don’t have to Bring A Knife To School]

I think they’re the best looking thing I’ve ever baked! Normally when I try to bake cakes, they taste great, but look horrible. That’s partly because we don’t have any decorating tools like piping bags or those leveller pallet knife thingys, but also I generally lack skill at cake decorating. I put too much batter in the cupcake paper wrapper things, so I had to cut the edges where they had come out of the oven like this:

I added a heaped tablespoon of icing on top, rotated each cupcake and sort of swirled/flattened it with the spoon, and then sprinkled the crumbs from the trimmed edges on top. Probably the first time one of my baking mishaps has added to the aesthetic value of a cake, but I’m not complaining!

I had one and can confirm they’re delicious!! There was one minor cock-up and one slightly less minor one. My hand slipped as I was adding the red food colouring, and I accidentally added way more than I meant to, but it turned out fine. The recipe called for an absurd amount of sugar in the icing, and I haven’t made cream cheese icing in ages, so I didn’t know that it was an absurd amount, so the icing is much sweeter than I’d like, but still delicious.

Because it’s for my friend’s (belated) birthday, I decided to go fancy and use proper vanilla extract instead of vanilla essence! It may have just been the difference of prices acting as a placebo, but it tasted absolutely delicious! However, it is three times the price for not a great deal of difference, so it’s not a substitution I’ll be making often.

I’ve never made a recipe that’s called for both baking powder and baking soda before. Despite the amount of rise this should have given it, they turned out a bit flat (as seen above), probably because the batter was quite wet. The sponge itself is light and airy, so I can’t complain. My guess is it needed both BECAUSE of the consistency of the batter, but I’m not an expert. If someone is an expert, let me know! I’m curious!

I don’t normally do this type of thing on Tumblr, but it’s been fun!! I might do this more often.

Here’s one of the images again because I am unreasonably proud of how these turned out. Look At Them!!!
