Murder Cupcakes

Making and Sharing Reflection

When I chose to make this recipe I knew that it was going to be a challenge; from finding a good cupcake recipe to making the sugar glass, this recipe was definitely put my skills the test. To make the sugar glass I had go out and buy corn syrup. I was really scared to make the sugar glass because it meant that I had to work with boiling sugar and that’s something I had never done before. There was a bump that I ran into after the sugar glass cooled down, the sugar hadn’t set properly!! the outside was all sticky and squishy. I was scared that it was not going to work but, in the end, it came out perfect, a little bit wonky but perfect.

Core Competency Reflection

In this lab I used critical thinking and creative thinking. I used creative thinking when I was looking for recipes and I chose to make sugar glass cupcakes, I knew that no one in the class was going to do anything like it so I wanted to stand out. I used critical thinking when my sugar glass hadn’t sent because I had to find a way to make it set properly, I left it in the fridge until the last moment and made sure not to take it out before, or else the glass would melt.

One goal that I have for myself, is to be more creative. I want to think out of the box with the recipes that I make at school and at home.
