Had the sudden urge to bake partly cos it was baby boy's last paper today,so I wanted to bake something for him to reward him for all the hard work and torturous days and nights of studying. Jio-ed my 2 girlfriends for a baking session.Our initial plan was to bake macarons but cos it sounds like a tough thing to do so we decided to do other recipes.We kept suggesting what to bake and after so long we've finally decided on apple crumble and chocolate chip muffins.We ended up baking chocolate chip cookies too cos we had lotsa ingredients.
The wet and dry ingredients for the muffins
These turned out okay but they were only our test batch.Made 3 muffins for the first batch.
So after we felt that the test batch was alright,we made the rest together and we happily chatted away without checking on our muffins.It was so careless of us.We relied too much on the timing of the recipe and totally ignored the poor muffins in the oven.By the time we went to check,they were slightly charred at the top.It was quite a sad sight.But they tasted okay lah.
We went on to prepare our ingredients for our apple crumble.We were hoping it would turn out well,if not today's baking session would have been a failure.It was our first time baking apple crumble so hopefully the recipe would be reliable.
Made the crumble and topped them over the layer of apples at the bottom.
Look at this!!!Doesn't it look good?!The texture of the crumble looked so crispy:)The moment we saw this,we felt so excited to give it a try.
And it was a success!I am gonna add this into my recipe book hehe.
After our successful second bake,we were all addicted to baking.Maybe more for X cos it was her first time baking and she was surprised how easy it was to bake.Cos of this,she felt so tempted to get an oven already haha.
Our last bake was an impromptu thing.Decided to do cookies so we went to search for a chocolate chip cookies recipe and just nice we had all the ingredients so we went on to bake them.
Stir,mix,fold,stir,mix,fold...We have some talented bakers right here!
Time to throw in the devilish chocolate chips!Yum yum!
Our chocolate chip cookies were a success too!It was a recipe that's hard to fail.So for beginners,I guess it's probably good to start out with cookies and then venture on to the more difficult recipes.
Our bakes for the day!
Tempted?Haha ignore the chao ta muffins please.
Looking forward to baking again for christmas!
