I’m not a professional baker by any means, however when I decide to make a delicacy for some social party, I want to do it right.
I get obsessive about choosing the perfect flavor pairings, creating the ideal textures, as well as applying a attractive topping.
I suppose desserts should be as attractive as they are tasty. That’s how I ended up spending five hours in the kitchen the other day, slaving away over the stove as if I was working in a boiler room. I was determined to make the best cupcakes ever, even if I was heating my entire home to 100 degrees. It seriously felt like I was standing next to a boiler as I prepared the batter, poured it into molds, as well as watched diligently as they baked. After the oven was turned off as well as the air conditioner was able to catch up, my kitchen had finally cooled enough to beginning working on the perfect icing to complete my moist cupcakes. The AC felt so relieving, as well as I was perfectly comfortable as I mixed together many attractive shades of frosting as well as meticulously piped it onto my cakes, but only then did I realize I forgot to get sprinkles to top my masterpieces, as well as ran out to the store for only a few minutes. The store was packed as well as I was gone for longer than anticipated, as well as when I returned, everything was ruined. My roommate had inadvertently turned my air conditioner off, as well as my oven had continued to heat the kitchen! My attractive cupcakes were now floating in puddles of icing as well as I was back to square one.
