I have been recording my weekly baking of cookies and have tried a few other things also.
I also purchased some new equipment for my baking, I have bought silicone mats that are the exact size of my cookie sheets, I also bought a silicone mat with markings for macaroons and other things. I also bought a kitchen scale for more accurate measurements, also to even out batter among cake pans.
The real winner in all of this is the baking strips, they wrap around the cake pans and cool the sides which without them bakes first which causes rounded top, you wet them and wring them out, they are adjustable for various sides. You can also make your own with wet paper towel, rolled up and wrapped in aluminum foil. It works the same but is a little more intense.
I bought a set of baking tips for icing and decorating cakes, we will see how I do with those.
I also have tried a few new things.
I baked a Tres Leches Cake (three milks) you bake the cake in a 13×9 pan and cool completely in the pan and then poke holes in the cake and pour a mixture of three milks (regular milk, evaporated milk and sweetened condensed milk. It is then topped with whipped cream that includes mascarpone cheese. It was scrumptious.
I also recently made a chocolate soufflé which came out great.
It is so much fun to bake and also a lot of fun to try new things, sometimes they do not come out perfectly but you can learn from those mistakes too, so it is all fun.
You can follow my baking on my YouTube Channel.

I love to share my baking with neighbors and friends or as a special dessert for our dinner together.
I hope my videos encourage others to try different things in the kitchen whether it is baking or cooking.
Thank you for reading my blog and watching my videos.
Happy Baking!
