What Have I Done?

So, late last night, I got the hankering to bake something delicious. But see, I am still poor, so I don't have many baking ingredients right now. I figured I had the necessary ingredients to make meringues, but the idea of plain white meringues wasn't very satisfying. My mix was the perfect consistency, stiff, fluffy peaks and all, but it was so boring. -.-  Then I found some chocolate chips and got super-excited! I immediately melted them  down and beat them into the mix... and ruined it. My guess is that when I melted the chocolate chips it released the coca butter and that's what ruined the consistency, because meringues are never supposed to be oily, or the mix turns into batter. I tried to add more egg whites, but nothing changed, so I baked it anyway.  :P

An hour later, this is what came out. 

I always seem to bake really big batches...

Surprisingly, some of them turned out super-cute... Most of them were not >_>

Thay had funny physics. The tops of them were light and crunchy, just like meringues, and they came right off. Everything underneath was  like a squishy cupcake.

This is the squishy inside after I bit it. It was super-tasty. Just really ugly ^___^

In case I decide to accidentally make these again, any idea what I should call them?

I Have Returned!!!

Okaaay... so I know I haven't updated the blog in a really long time and there a few reasons for that. >_>

Firstly, I have been in the process of moving for a while now; pretending to pack, procrastinating...yea.
Secondly, my fan-farking-tastic place of employment does not give me enough money or hours to support my baking addiction or supplement the content of this blog.
And finally, and this is the true story, my mattress sucks... so I was staying at my hunny's apartment where the kitchen is itty bitty and not mine.. and I did not feel comfortable messing a kitchen that was not mine. (You see, when I bake there WILL be mess O_o)

But I'm all settled into the new apartment now and the kitchen is ALL MINE!!! And I have plenty of time now to upload new pictures to the blog, so I will do my best to post once a week. Let's shoot for every Sunday, kay? ^__^

So, I actually have an official baking textbook now! It's great. I love it. Pastry and Baking: Mastering the Art and Craft.  It has really great traditionally-made pastry recipes, but it also teaches the reasons why ingredients do  what they do to make such deliciousness. Here's a picture:

I feel so powerful with this book in my possession :3

For those of you who stuck around, thank you so very much. You're the best <3  See you on Sunday with a new post!! ^__^
