http://sophisticatedadventure.blogspot.com/2009/08/whip-it-up-week-6.html
The life and thoughts of a 30-something city-gal navigating through life trying to follow her Style Statement of Sophisticated Adventure. Sunday, August 9, 2009. Here we are at week 6 of the Whip-It-Up. Wow, only two more weeks to go! I'm really happy with what I've done so far and the biggest and best thing about this challenge is that it made me want to cook and make recipes that I've never done before. :). I found this recipe. That I quite like. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Qortezan has closed ...

TRIAL BY SUGAR: Coffee caramel crisps
http://trialbysugar.blogspot.com/2011/04/coffee-caramel-crisps.html
Friday, April 1, 2011. Before today, it had been about three months since I last baked. There was just no drive or interest until out of the blue, I felt the desire to make something easy and delicious. My only condition was that whatever I made had to use coffee (no idea why) so I found a recipe and modified it to fit my requirement. Here's a picture of the finished cookie:. And here's the recipe. Almonds, finely chopped. Sift flour. Mix in ground coffee beans and almonds. Set flour mixture aside. LATES...

http://trialbysugar.blogspot.com/2010_11_01_archive.html
A rose without thorns. Sunday, November 21, 2010. It's photos galore today! I attended the second session of the Wilton fondant and gum paste class and made roses, carnations, and calla lilies! Here's a photo of my favourite of the three:. We also learned how to do carnation bases during the first class and had to bring some today. This is the carnation I finished in class:. Here is another photo showing two carnation bases plus the finished flower. Sunday, November 14, 2010. These are the plain, colourl...

TRIAL BY SUGAR: August 2010
http://trialbysugar.blogspot.com/2010_08_01_archive.html
Sunday, August 15, 2010. It's been a little over two months since my last post and the delay was due to a number of things including preparing to show my jewellery. At the Salmon Festival Craft Fair in Steveston on July 1st. And after the fair, I had to inventorize and make some new pieces to replace the ones that sold. Grated lime zest (approximately one lime). Sift flour, baking powder, and salt. Set flour mixture aside. After the batter was fully prepared, it took on a much less yellow tone:. I prefer...

TRIAL BY SUGAR: May 2010
http://trialbysugar.blogspot.com/2010_05_01_archive.html
Friday, May 28, 2010. My very first post-class baking project involved making rose cupcakes. Again Since the recipe and process were exactly the same as last time, the only pictures I took of the preparation stage were of the egg whites. Here they are after about five seconds of beating:. These are the same egg whites once they were stiff:. Since I no longer had to use the icing recipe required for the class, I experimented with fresh strawberries and came up with my own:. Saturday, May 8, 2010. We learn...

TRIAL BY SUGAR: Honey cupcakes
http://trialbysugar.blogspot.com/2010/09/honey-cupcakes.html
Saturday, September 18, 2010. I was recently given a giant bottle of honey and I scratched my head for a while until it occurred to me that I could bake with it. Google revealed that honey cakes are a traditional Jewish holiday treat and there were raves for Canadian baker extraordinaire Marcy Goldman's Majestic and Moist Honey Cake. Soak dried blueberries in water until no longer hard, approximately an hour. Beat eggs with sugar. As I was pulling my ingredients together in the beginning, I remembered I ...

http://sophisticatedadventure.blogspot.com/2009/08/back-to-work-alreadydamn.html
The life and thoughts of a 30-something city-gal navigating through life trying to follow her Style Statement of Sophisticated Adventure. Sunday, August 30, 2009. Back to work already.Damn. So I took the final week off of my vacation and made it a staycation. I had a lot of things that I wanted to do and get done but not enough time to do it so I thought by taking a week off, I should be able to catch up. Let's do a recap of the past week, shall we? Monday - organized and cleaned the bedroom; set up inte...

The life and thoughts of a 30-something city-gal navigating through life trying to follow her Style Statement of Sophisticated Adventure. Sunday, August 23, 2009. Here we are, at the end of the Whip-It-Up challenge. I can’t believe it’s been 8 weeks and I am so psyched that I completed it! I did a search for the various cuisines and found a pretty delicious one for Sweet and Sour Pork. This is one of the most common Chinese foods, one that everyone knows. So here it is! 1 lb boneless pork loin. Drain pin...

The life and thoughts of a 30-something city-gal navigating through life trying to follow her Style Statement of Sophisticated Adventure. Friday, August 28, 2009. Really, where the heck did the time go? It's now Friday night, technically the last day of my vacation and my little home renovation project is nowhere near completion! Spin I would have probably stayed at home and be in bed by now if I did not win tickets on Twitter (Thanks clubZoneVan! Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Girl with pearl earri...

TRIAL BY SUGAR: January 2011
http://trialbysugar.blogspot.com/2011_01_01_archive.html
Saturday, January 1, 2011. It's a brand new year, but before I focus on January and my upcoming trip to Hawaii on the 12th, I want to post some pictures of a cake I made for the Christmas party at the fitness studio I go to. Rachel, the owner of Inner Fit Studios. Knew all about my cake decorating classes and has been incredibly supportive, so I offered to bake a cake for her party. This post will have pictures from the decorating process along with recipes for the individual parts under the links. The c...
