i am by no means a chef or pasty chef of any kind but i do love to cook and bake nonetheless. i have owe’d joel "obligation cupcakes" for some time now and finally decided to make them. we decided on red velvet cupcakes with a whipped butter cream cheese frosting.
red velvet makes me think of christina so in honor of her and of course joel since they are his obligation cupcakes, i took some pictures to share.
i love to cook and i love to bake. last christmas i baked cookies for everyone along with brownies and cornbread, wrapped them up and handed them out as gifts. this year i did the same.
nina, who is currently attending the pastry academy in napa, is also a baker. she made these incredible snickerdoodles light and gave me the recipe. i decided this year to do it right. i spent a good amount of money on pure bakeware, probably close to about 300.00. nina also introduced me to silpat baking pads and cooking by weight. christina says im british now!
id have to definitely say nina has it right. cooking by weight completely changes the outcome of your baked goods. i baked 4 kinds of cookies for christmas. snickerdoodles light (i love you nina), delicious peanut butter cookies, spicy oatmeal raisin cookies of goodness, and ultimate chocolate chip cookies. they were a hit and i love baking.
if you’d like any of these recipes, leave me a comment and ill gladly hook it up 
im too lazy to post them!
