Cakes

Ever since I bought this cupcake book from a garage sale, I have been baking and cooking a ton. It made me get lots more cooking books, using recipes and eating things I never thought i would try. It also has helped me realize that maybe I don't need a lot to be happy. Maybe I could just cook and cook for the rest of my life and be content with people enjoying my cooking. In fact, I don't know when the idea was born, but I have a plan to one day open a bake shop in Austin, Tx. I have been heavily influenced by places like Muddy's and just general coffee shops to sell my creations and supply a venue for musicians and artists.

My latest projects were pumpkin muffins with chocolate chips and bannana pudding cupcakes. It's mostly so I can research my own combination. Some ideas are maybe best left in the dark, but one them I can share which is The Cake Tumor. In my brain, it's a massive, chocolately cupcake, mishaped, and not aesthetically pleasing, but extremely delicious. I'm thinking maybe a ganache cupcake. With something horribly thick and delicious iced on top.

The pumpkin muffins failed due to a miscalculation between chocolate-chocolate chip muffin mix and just regular chocolate chip muffin mix. Too much chocolate, not enough pumpkin.

The bannana pudding cupcakes however were a complete success. :) I even made homemade whip cream to go on top. However, because I made so many, they're going away very slowly. I still have like five left or so, and I usually don't eat my creations. I have like one, but never really more than that.

I have thought about starting my own commission-bakery here in memphis, where people call me to comission a special kind of cake. :) I am not sure how that would work out. D:
