About this Cook
My favorite things to cook
I love to bake! Baking bread is my specialty, but I also like to do cakes, pies, cookies, ect.
My favorite family cooking traditions
Rum cakes and Rum balls every Christmas (also starting to do a real fruitcake and real stollen every year too). Tamales for Christmas as well. Hot cross buns and carrot cupcakes every year for Easter. Pumpkin/Jack O Lantern cakes for Halloween.
My cooking triumphs
3-10-inch layer cake, almond paste flavored cake with a rum buttercream: my very first perfectly decorated cake!

Candy Apple Jelly
Amazing recipe! It has a wonderfully subtle apple cinnamon flavor and it very easy to make. I used Simply Apple juice (in the fridge section of the store) for a more intense apple flavor. My jelly set up perfectly and I had no problems with jelling or anything. I got exactly six half-pints out of this recipe. It also made my house smell like Christmas!

Big Soft Ginger Cookies
These cookies are absolutely delicious! I made them for my dad and he said "You outdid yourself!" which, if you know him, is high praise indeed! The only sub I made was real unsalted butter for the marg, OJ for the water, 1/2 tsp LESS of the ginger and 1/2 tsp MORE of the cinnamon. Thanks for a great recipe!
