Finally, a stand mixer. Also, Chocolate Truffle Tartlets

Yaaaay, my parents bought me a Kitchenaid Artisan for my 18th birthday, is it weird that I'm this excited?


My camera was being a little funny, not quite sure what to do about that… But on to the Tartlets, which were delicious. I don't think I even waited the 20 minutes I was supposed to for them to cool. Oops. My edges were kind of crumby and not quite as straight, but I guess it gives it a bit more of a homemade feel. I couldn't find biscotti at my grocery store, unfortunately, and Second Cup was a little farther than walking distance, so I used little Biscoff cookies instead, and I just kept the chunks a bit bigger. The tart itself was actually fairly simple to make, the only time consuming part was the rolling out and well, chilling.


Don't look too bad though, right? Photo taking skills aren't quite as amazing as some of the other posts I've seen before.

Bye now (:

Baking with Julia

My book finally came in! Not quite in time for white loaves, but I'm super excited for the tartlets in two weeks (:

an introduction of sorts

Hey all, guess I've had this chilling here long enough that I should post something..

So first off, I'm May. almost almost almost 18, in first year university for a nutrition major with a minor in physical activity, and i love love love baking. and swimming.

I guess for now with school and such I won't be able to be posting too too much, but I will be (hopefully) keeping up with Tuesdays With Dorie once I get my book, and I'll be posting another other things I bake when I can!

Cheers~
