Since I've been back at Uni I just haven't been baking, it's not that I haven't wanted to but student houses are not the nicest places to cook! Mainly because it is always dirty and the oven doesn't seem to work properly ever! But I did end up cooking quite a bit over Christmas. I've just been trying to get my choux pastry to be really good, haven't perfected it quite yet but I think it is definitely getting better. I really want to tackle pastry, but I'm a bit stuck on a good puff pastry recipe. I'm going to try one from the Great British Bake Off book because those recipes are normally amazing, we will just have to see how it goes!
I didn't go for tidiness for the cream puffs!
Even though I made them about 4 months ago my valentines cookie lollies and red velvet cupcakes have made it into Good To Know Recipes in their February Issue (on sale now, pg11). I was so excited when I found out but not only did I have 2 articles I ended up getting an inset on the cover, thanks to my dad's photography! I would love to be able to get into some more magazines, might try an attempt with Good Food even if it is a long shot!
Seeing the articles in the magazine has made me want to get back cooking again, so the house are having a clean up and trying to introduce baking days. This will probably be an absolute disaster considering one of the boys has never made a cake! Can't wait to get them all into it, even if the only reason they're doing it is for a large slice of cake at the end.
I'll be posting photos of our house baking along with their recipes. So keep checking back, I will be posting more frequently from now on, I promise!
