Cupcakes, cookies, pies, any desserts are my type of food. Once, when I made brownies, I didn't have butter, so I substituted it with olive oil. On top of that, I didn't have a steel pan around so I used a casserole dish instead, but there wasn't enough batter to fill the dish, so I made little barrier walls with aluminum foil to keep the batter in place. I thought it would be a disaster but put it in the oven anyways, and they turned out to be the best brownies I'd ever tasted! Everyone loved them. The first time I made meringue. I recall I never really got to the "soft peak" stage.
