Baking session

22 Jun

I have recently received a few new cookbooks and so of course the recipes must be tested!

First up were the red velvet cupcakes with cream cheese frosting from the Hummingbird Bakery cookbook. Those who sampled were all impressed (or so they said) but we devoured them before I had the chance to take some photographic evidence… soooo I will just have to make them again soon! Check out http://www.hummingbirdbakery.com for deets.

I also baked the brownies which came out super moist and fudgy and amazingly indulgent. It’s crazy how after a few tiny “slivers” of a piece almost the entire piece is gone! These are definitely one to bake again.

Still in a baking mood I decided to give macaroons a go… with chocolate still on the brain I went with a recipe from Gordon Ramsay’s Just Desserts book. While they didn’t turn out looking quite like the perfect macaroons from Ladureethey were still pretty tasty! Check it out if you’re ever in Paris (or Harrods)!
