I'm a high school student who love to bake. I run year-round: cross-country, indoor track and spring track. Other than that, I play the piano, love to read and write, generally do well in school, and, of course, bake whenever I get the chance!
My favorite things to cook
Cookies! I also love to bake cakes, but I can never get them out of the pan. They taste great but are so ugly! Chili and cornbread, or tofu and vegetables are also fun and tasty.
My favorite family cooking traditions
My dad used to make "melted cheese" every Saturday. He'd melt some cheddar in a frying pan and then we'd all dip bread into it. Delicious!
My friend Giselle and I enjoy "snickerdoodles and tea" during sleepovers.
My cooking triumphs
For my brother Aaron's 18th birthday, my sister and I baked him 18 different types of cake! We kept it a surprise and he was completely shocked. It was a lot of fun, but a lot of baking.
My cooking tragedies
For a 7th grade Social Studies project, I made a chocolate espresso cake following what I'm told is an Indonesian recipe. It called for 1 cup of espresso. Instead of using 1 cup of brewed coffee, I dumped 1 cup of ground coffee beans into the batter! My teacher certainly loved it!
