My favorite things to cook
I love making things mini and bite size. For example, mini cheese cakes, quices, banana muffins. My mini cupcake pans get tons of use!
My cooking triumphs
I have since conquered the cheesecake (see below)! I now know the basic requirements and frequently experiment with different types.
My cooking tragedies
I once tried to make a cheesecake and after baking it for over an hour it was still jiggly in the middle. I left it in for an additional half hour and finally gave up. It was in a springform pan and after I let it cool and tried to remove the springform, it flattened out on the cookiesheet that I have baked the whole thing on. Good thing I had it contained on something!
