So, I'm a really random person and like to just try stuff for fun as far as like crafts, cooking, and baking. I can't bake cookies, well I can only bake pumpkin chocolate chip cookies. I'm also not great with cupcakes, the last homemade ones I attempted I used 2 sticks of butter instead of one (they were so heavy and gross). I looooove baking cheesecakes! My favorite is pumpkin, or maybe even peanut butter cup. Now I want cheesecake lol.
Anyway, I'm going off track here! I was going to start off with the fact that I've discovered baking doughnuts and I've been at it for a week now like every other day lol. The thing is I don't like doughnuts, but I really enjoy making them for my family to eat. I found a cool doughnut pan for the oven at Michaels and I got it for like $6.40 after taxes because I had a coupon. Pinterest is my fuel source for all of these baking attempts, I pin recipes like they are going out of style! It's not my fault that there are a bazillion baked doughnut recipes on there just waiting to be tried. The first few I made were born of cake mix and buttermilk and I must say they were pretty good considering my dislike of them in general. The first batch were made with funfetti cake mix and a sugary glaze on top. Since the weekend I've made the funfetti ones, devils food, and two homemade batches; one being chocolate, and the other cinnamon. Everyone's eating them so I guess they are good, but I'm not sure since doughnuts are kind of yucky in my opinion. They are fun to make though, it's like I'm the queen of breakfast food or something in this house now. I think I'm going to attempt red velvet, and spice cake doughnuts next... Then I'll probably get bored and go back to cheesecakes since those take a lot more time for me to make and I enjoy trying to one up myself each time I make a new one.
I apologize for my complete randomness as far as my word smithing and hope at least one of you made it to the end !
Do any of you go crazy with baking anything? I expect a lot of people go nuts around the holiday with cookies and stuff but who knows?
One more thing that doesn't really matter but I'm going to go out on it anyway! I make a huge mess when I'm in the kitchen, I get flour and other baking essentials all over everything. I absolutely love the mess and the cleanup though! It's something I'll never understand, it just happens even when I try to be tidy.
