Souffle. I have been wanting to make a souffle for a while, because A) It looks cool, and B) I’ve heard that it’s hard. Actually, I think I got that impression from the old Audrey Hepburn movie, “Sabrina,” when she attends Le Cordon Bleu cooking school in France and learns to make a souffle. […]
After another busy day in My Kitchen, I find myself pondering: What’s going to come out of that kitchen next? Sometimes I know, sometimes I don’t. Tomorrow’s projects… Are something of a mystery at the moment. I’m babysitting my little siblings this weekend, and that means… I can make whatever I want. 😉 I’m thinking […]
I know, I know… An en flambeaux cupcake is exactly what you were hoping I’d post about today… …B-b-b-but …ISN’T THAT COOL??! *happy shrug* I luuuuurve it. 🙂 Sparklers, me, and a camera = A good time. Even if my kitchen smelled like it was about to bust into flames afterwards. This post is dedicated […]
Occasionally I get these bursts of excitement. Like when I made myself a Facebook Page for Sugar and Spice a while ago, and I was like “This is real. I–Am a blogger.” And then when I joined Twitter *coughcoughrecentlycoughcough*, and I was all “Yup. I’m totally legit. I’m on Twitter. B-)” Also when I joined […]
I love picturesque life. I love things whimsical, vintage, girly, dainty, etc… I often imagine myself in some sort of “picture,” whether it be twirling around in an open field somewhere or sipping tea in a coffee shop. Hehe, it’s a bit silly, I know… But it’s pictures like those that excite my imagination. I […]
Few things are quite equal to the joy of eating a good donut. Unless it’s a REALLY good doughnut. Like, a pączki kind of doughnut. Ever since my family first got wind of this Polish Tradition, we’ve jumped in with two feet every year. In fact, it seems like the whole area surrounding us […]
Cute, no? My sister is getting married this summer, and in the midst of planning a wedding, browsing Pinterest, and trying to be creative… Well, things like this pop into my head. This idea was inspired by a couple of things: First, it’s cake! For my parents’ wedding reception, a bunch of ladies from their […]
**EDIT: I need to improve this caramel recipe! It works sometimes, and doesn’t others – So if you want something a little more dependable, I would recommend checking out Martha Stewart’s Recipe (which I have tried, and is great). 🙂 Sorry for this, everyone! I hope the photos and notes on this blog help you […]
Part 2 – Making Choux Pastry for profiteroles (cream puffs)! This is actually one of the easiest, quickest things to make. It requires a little arm power, especially if you’re making a lot of it. But it’s not hard, and wow– so good! This buttery pastry is first cooked, then mixed with eggs, and then […]
A while ago on my Facebook Page, I asked everyone what they would like to learn to make the new year. “Profiteroles!” was one enthusiastic response… And I thought to myself… “Hey, I could teach that.” So here I am! I am going to post about these in 3 parts, starting today with the recipe […]
