This is by far one of the best cakes I have ever made without my mom behind me telling me , "You need to do it like this...". It was tasty, not very sweet, light, and didn't' look like a truck ran over it. My whole family loved it, and them all agreeing on something is pretty rare.

When I made it, I overmixed the meringue and thought that it was all over, but much to my surprise, it still turned out great! I did not do the design on the cake (because who has time for that), and I substituted the cream for a strawberry raspberry "jam".

Strawberry Raspberry "Jam"

2 cups strawberries, washed and leave-less
Freeze dry raspberries

Crush the strawberries and drain the liquid out of the mixture. Smear them on the cooled cake and sprinkle the raspberries on top. Roll it and sift powdered sugar over the cake, only if you want to.

And voila! Enjoy!






It basically melts in your mouth!


Apple Pie

This summer, I went to a baking camp and one of the recipes we made was for an apple pie. As always, I failed miserably by adding way too much water at the beginning. And so, now I have decided to give it another try, but this time at my house with my own (googled) recipes.

Here are the two websites I used.

The filling-I took out the butter and used 1 tsp of cornstarch instead.

The crust-(I mixed it by hand)

Although my finished product is not very pretty, the apples tasted great and would be good just on it's own! The crust just tasted like, well, butter.(I'm just not a big fan of it.)

Letting the dough chill because it had a bad attitude.

Baked and crispy!

Saw a video by Tasty where they placed the apples to look like a rose.

Yummm, cinnamon apples.
(My dad loved them the most).

It has flake! Which my previous one did not have.
