It was my mother's boyfriend's birthday yesterday, and he LOVES Mexican Hot Chocolate. So when I found this recipe on Baking Bites I really hit the jackpot!

( Recipe and 3 more Pictures )

After tiring of paying about $4 a loaf for bread without a bunch of preservatives and otherwise bad stuff, I decided I was going to attempt to make bread myself... It's definitely not perfect, but it tastes yum!

Also... if anyone could tell me whether the amount of bread you see would best fit in two bread loaf pans or three, that would be much appreciated (see, the recipe at the top says three loaves... but IN the recipe it says divide into two loaf pans?!).

Hello, again ^_^
Just wanted to let everybody know that, after a long time, my blog is back again! Yay! Sorry for being gone for so long, I had a lot of stuff going on.
I'm returning with vegan cupcakes and a panda cake!





( Onto the blog! )

Hello! Longtime lurker and first time poster here. =)

Today I tried lemon scones, using a recipe from Allrecipes.

( Two! )


I'm in the middle in terms of how these came out. Unfortunately, the lemon flavor in the scones wasn't very strong at all, even after tampering a bit with the recipe and adding in some lemon juice. With the blueberry butter, the flavor stood out a little more, but it still wasn't enough. The texture wasn't quite right either -- they were very delicate and soft on the inside, and while I personally have no problem with that, it's not very scone-like at all. They were also too short, so next time I'll have to make sure that I don't roll them out so thinly.

If any of you guys have tips on scone-making, I would love to hear them. Thanks!

This is my second post in this community and I figured I'd attempt to participate in the theme. :)

Hi all!


I'm new to this community, and just today I've gone and attempted my very first try at cupcakes! So there was the trip to the grocery store and all the reading up and messing up in my kitchen. I had to redo my icing, the first attempt didn't work out..


So thus, results! I'd love to know if it looks good to anyone here. :)
