Thought hey let’s swirl some cranberry sauce into muffin batter.

Mistakes were made. Bloody muffins!

Great for Halloween though

Today’s experiment. Trying a different ratio on ingredients and slight change in boiling time.

They look good but all will hinge on the taste test.

Sourdough is either thriving or ruining my confidence and there is no in between. Also, I do not want holes in my bread, and I am standing by that. #sourdough #sourdough starter #baking #bread making #home baking #baking fails #chaotic baking #sourdough problems #homemade bread #kitchen chaos #alpha hole starter #i argue with my dough #kitchen aid betrayal #this bread is gaslighting me #dense bread is fine just toast it #anti crust club #sandwich bread supremacy

Alpha-Hole: Control Issues And Why I Do Not Respect Your Air Bubbles

I was gone from my account for so long that I don’t think I ever posted any of my Pi Day bakes! Because if you’re a nerd, and if you’re a nerd who likes to create tasty chemical reactions in a kitchen, you do Pi Day ✨right✨.

Starting off with this year, technically I made this last week but who’s counting? It’s a pumpkin pi(e) brownie. Some of the brownie poked through so I got a little carried away doodling on it with an icing pen. (Yeah, I have a PhD and the best I could come up with was “HELL YEAH PI”, what??)

Last year! (There are gonna be a lot of these pumpkin pi(…e) brownies haha. Not to brag but I know I do these well, so. Yep.) I also added some cinnamon, instant coffee, and like a teaspoon of flour to some of the leftover brownie batter and made that little cookie you see there.

2022. Hey, guess what I made! Haha. At least this time the pi cookie is a vanilla and cinnamon shortbread. I’m nothing if not predictable.

Oh shit actual pie alert!!! 2021’s effort. (May actually be more of a tart? It was very tiny.) Pie crust is a pain in the ass to make from scratch, if you’ve never done so. I also made the filling from scratch. Now you see why I tend to opt for the pumpkin pie brownies haha.

This was a blackberry pie with chocolate crust. I also made some white chocolate flowers and drizzled little chocolate vines on there.

Aaaaand lastly but not leastly, the first time I attempted a Pi Day dessert. Itty bitty raspberry pi(…e) (yes, like the computer, turbo nerd here, remember??) in a chocolate crust, everything is scratch-made as per usual, was delicious but also has traumatic memories attached because…2020. ‘Nuff said.

ngl the chocolate bread was risen worryingly high - prior to even putting it in the oven. i think the addition of the icing sugar or cocoa altered the composition too much. it's in a Large circular cake tin for crying out loud and it's been like 7 minutes and the bread has already risen above the edge of the cake tin. i'm not convinced that it won't look like a bomb's gone off in there once it's finished baking. a nuke mushroom cloud of a chocolate bread loaf

the bastard* who buys my groceries did Not buy enough chocolate and now i have run out. and i can't be bothered going to the store rn. so i'm baking again. a cake this time. from a cupcake mix? i think there should be less excitement this time, having already successfully baked an extra large cookie, i think turning a cupcake mix into a cake should prove easier

i am attempting to bake one (1) Extra Large chocolate chip cookie. in a pie dish. in a mini oven. on my own. this will either be a monumental success or delicious mistake,,,, it's cookie dough right? so long as i don't burn it, it's edible?? guess i'm gonna find out 🤣 🤣 🤣
