Bread, crumb bar and cookies

2011 07 11b Bread, crumb bar and cookies

I’ve had a busy baking week! I baked some banana-blackberry-chocolate chip bread last week. I used this recipe by Joy the Baker, replacing the cranberries with a cup of blackberries and added in 1/2 a cup of chocolate chips, because really, why not! The bread came out great. Everybody loved it and had a hard time stopping eating it!

This weekend, I had a beach bbq and brought dessert. I got a bit carried away and made two! In fact, I got so carried away that I didn’t notice the time fly by and showed up late!  I baked some raspberry crumb bar from Baked: New Frontiers in Baking. It was really good as well. I should’ve let it cool longer before putting it in the tupperware though, by the time I got to the beach it had lost part of its bar shapped and turned partly into a crumble. People still loved it and asked for more though, so I’m still calling this one a success!

The other dessert I baked for the bbq was lemon cookies, once again, from Joy the Baker. I just love this blog! They were just the right crunchy/crumblyness to contrast the crumb bar turned crumble. The lemon flavour was light and perfect for a warm summer day in the sun.

Hi everyone! Feels like I haven’t update my blog in forever! Though I’ve only skipped one week. I’ve been a busy little bee as it were. I’ve got big big news: I’m now taking orders! You can head to the Buy Cupcakes page to see the prices and ordering procedures. I’m really happy about this. I think it’s a major step for me and I’m ready to take on the challenge! I’ve already had a few orders since I put up the page, some chocolate and orange cupcakes with blue and orange icing swirl and my vanilla-blackberry cupcakes. I’m glad to say the customers were quite happy with their orders. I hope to be getting more soon!

I’ve also been baking some new stuff and experimenting. This weekend I baked a peach crumble. I’m rather happy at how it turned out. I used my mom’s recipe. She mostly did it with apples, but she also did it with peaches once in a while. I added some local strawberries and some cardamom to the mix. I think it gave it a nice little touch. I think I’ve mentioned this before, but I’ll say it again, I love cardamom! I think it’s too rarely used as a spice in dessert. Go ahead, give it a try. Add some to your next crumble. You won’t be sorry!
