I am a 23 year old female from Wilmington, DE. Since no one taught me how to cook growing up, I am just starting out. However, I've been teaching myself to bake for a year or two now and am absolutely smitten with it! My other hobbies include playing video games, reading, watching movies, and hanging out with friends.
My favorite things to cook
Cookies! I love making all types of cookies, but am most "famous" for my chocolate chip pumpkin cookies.
As for cakes, I am a new Red Velvet Cake convert (the trick is to use marscarpone cheese instead of butter in the icing!)
My favorite family cooking traditions
Making giant cupcake cakes for Birthdays!
My cooking triumphs
Making fondant for the first time (marshmellow fondant recipe from this website!), dying it to 3 different colors to make shapes for a spongebob cake, and even covering the cake! I had no idea what I was doing (trial and error is the best way to learn!) but the spongebob cake came out great, people thought I had bought it from a bakery!
My cooking tragedies
Badly burnt lamb (we haven't figured out how to cook lamb properly, so if anyone has tips, please let me know!)
A horrible, vinegar tasting red velvet cake - it was the first I ever made, and I used a whole cup of vinegar by accident (instead of 1 teaspoon!) ps - since then I've tweaked the recipe and use the -proper- amount of vinegar and it tastes fabulous!
