Ahhh Me
About this Cook
I'm a student at Michigan State University. I rarely get a chance to cook but when I do, I alwasy enjoy it and get great reviews, which makes me want to learn and cook more. :) I'm also probably the biggest Red Wings fan you'll ever meet. (All Wings fans say that). I love Hockey!
My favorite things to cook
Chicken Tortilla Soup
My favorite family cooking traditions
Pineapple unside-down cake. Watching The Santa Claus every Christmas Eve. Detroit Red Wings.
My cooking triumphs
Nothing too exciting quite yet. Hopefully I'll be able to change that.

Boston Cream Pie Minis
I have a special cupcake pan that has a rubber top rack attachment that makes holes into the cupcakes, only I wasn't happy with how small the holes turned out, so with the rest of the batter I made mini tops (which I used only the top half of, bottom halfs went for the bit-sized pieces), lathered the rest of the cupcake with the cream, and tossed the mini top on, and drizzled the chocolate frosting on top! Wonderful! Amazing! I was even told they were better than my Grandmother's Boston Cream Pie Cake. Fun to make, a little time consuming, and use a gourmet chocolate frosting recipe. I used 2x as much Cool whip cream in the chocolate, 2 TBSP butter, 1 tsp vanilla, and ~half a bag of semisweet chocolate chips. Will definitely make again!!
