Halloween Dessert

Reflection:

For Halloween, we got the chance to create a halloween inspired dessert. I decided to make mini red velvet cupcakes with cream cheese frosting. These cupcakes turned out moist, soft and delectable, with the cream cheese frosting enhancing the cupcake as a whole. One thing I could work on for next time is dealing with the red food colouring. When making the cupcakes I added in a bit to much food dye, making them darker then intended. Otherwise, this was a very tasty dessert!

Chocolate Chip Cookies

REFLECTION

Chocolate Chip Cookies was the first lab we ever created in foods 11/12 this semester. This lab was all about revisiting our baking/cooking skills, and reacquainting ourselves with the kitchen. An example of these are accurate measurement and knowing where everything is located within the room. This was also the first time we ever had to work with our partners. During the lab we had to learn to trust our partner, so the lab would turn out well.

The process of making the cookies was fairly simple, since many people have made cookies at home many times. We expected our cookies to turn out golden, chocolatey, soft and gooey. In the end, our cookies ended up being over and beyond our expectations.

Banana Muffins

Banana Muffins:

Reflection

For this lab we made home made banana muffins. These muffins could be descibed as perfect. They had a great consistency, looked and tasted great!

To complete this recipe we used the muffin method. The muffin method is when the fat used in the recipe is a liquid, such as oil. Also, we had to demonstrate good teamwork to make the recipe turn out well. Overall, though this recipe was basic, it was good to find a rhythm with my partner and get adjusted to the kitchen. We had to get reacquainted with all our previous cooking skills, such as accurate measurement, combining ingredients and more. This lab was more about getting used to baking in a new environment.

Overall, the muffins were golden, moist, soft and delicious. I would definitely recommend this recipe to anyone who wanted a simple and delicious muffins! A five out of five for sure!
