Baking Post 2017 N0.21- Likes of October!

😁😘Saludos compañeros panaderos!

I neglected my "favorites of the month" for awhile. Therefore, I present you with my likes of October 2017!😁😄

First and foremost, recipes.

Blackberry and Mallow Traybake- ever since I made this post a couple weeks back,I've become in love with the recipe. Although it requires more effort than usual and an abundance in ingredients, the ending result is phenomenal and it goes down really well.


Baked Fruity Autumn Pudding- I made this around the same time last year and it went down a real treat. The kitchen wafted with cinnamon and it was such a autumnal scent while baking in the oven.

Spiced Toffee Apple Cake- I am yet to bake this. Firts of all, it sounds AMAZING and according to its source, it's super simple to make,I hope. To be frank, I've enevr had a toffee apple so experimenting the toffee apple flavor in a cake will be interesting for sure.

Pumpkin Spice Cake with Honey Frosting- to me the "honey frosting" caught my attention. I've never encountered a recipe which requires honey for the frosting so I was rather intrigued by this recipe,if anything.

Apple-Cinnamon, Upside-Down Cake-I like this cake for several reasons-it incorporates fruit which may suggest an element of healthiness(2017 has been the year where I;ve incorporated a lot of fruits into my baking to try and make baking cakes more healthy and easy,in a way).

Food:

Next, are favorites on food in general, no more baking!😅

Buddha Bowl Meal Prep- as a matter of fact, I perceived this recipe from Tasty, a BuzzFeed YouTube channel who basically videos dinners,desserts,healthy snacks and and everything "tasty". 

😋delectable

Caribbean Beef Patties- I live to eat Caribbean Beef Patties! These are absolutely mouth-watering, whether purchased freshly from a Caribbean bakery or in a packet from a supermarket, I recommend you to try!

Reggae Reggae Nachos- this Caribbean-inspired food is derived from Levi Roots,as a matter of fact. The picture displays its beauty and Caribbean vibes! I would love to have a try myself.😍😋😋

Trends-this is merely other articles I've had a liking for, besides foods!

Yankee Autumn Night Candle-this candle has decadence  of Autumnal scents,inviting a "brisk earthiness and dreamy interludes of lavender and woodland notes" ,according to Yankee Candle's website. I can quite agree, in fact.

Zara Wonder Rose £9.99- I am currently wearing this scent as I compose this post and it's fantastic. It lasts for hours and hours and has a rejuvenating yet a subtle redolence about it. It's for what it's worth.

Zoella Gelat'Eau Body Mist £8.00- Now, I don't favor this product particularly because it's produced by Zoella. No I like this perfume because it's scent is fabulous-it's almost like a satsuma/orangery scent, in my opinion. It wondrous and a treat to spritz.

Woolly hats- I love them! They have this tumblr,typical Autumn-y vibe about them which I adore. They're great with any Autumn-like outfit and ah I just love them!

I foudn this funny-apparently it's a Thanksgiving hat😂

Scarves- they're comfy, adorable and go with any outfit. What's not to love?!

Belgium Hot chocolate-delicious,good-quality and a really endearing feeling about it.

Pumpkin Spice Latte- not many of my friends like it but I LOVE IT! I generally dislike coffee. Nonetheless, the Pumpkin Spice latte doesn't  taste like coffee at all but like a cup of Autumn and deliciousness!

Tropicana Pressed Apple- I have this every morning after I eat my breakfast. It's a nice thing to drink down my breakfast,tasted amazing and astoundingly, my face has gotten better.

Kiko Milano Precision Eyebrow: This is a reasonable price, draws onto skin fantastically. According to Kiko Milano's website, the product's formula contains high-melt waxes ensuring adherence,precision and a long lasting line."

Anthracite Grey Knitted Top(Zara)-fits my personal style and keeps me warm. 

Anime!!! I'm been obsessed with NigaHiga introduced me on Anime Superheroes!

Giphy- I love using it in my baking posts. It makes them more...light-hearted and fun, from where I stand,anyway.

YOU- I love each and every one of you, whether you're a stranger who's reading my blog or who's become familiar with my baking posts for quite some time. This wouldn't be worthwhile without you all watching.💘😘😘

Girls Life: It can be the only thing that entertains me or grants me inspiration for this blog,as a matter of fact.

Photography: Recently I've joined Photography Club. I've always had a liking for photography,through this blog actually. However, it's opened doors for me in terms of interaction, learning and a sense of achievement. 

I'm going to leave this favoruites posts at that. Comment below on what your favoruties for October are and I'll see you in my next post!

Recipe Post 2017 N0.14- The Cookie Club

Hello world!

Transiently, I have taken a fancy in improving and adapting my expected baking posts. Don't take this the wrong way,I take very much delight in composing posts where I write up recipes of my pick, bake them and display them for all of you to view. For example, my last post was very enjoyable and I derive great pleasure from arranging big bake-offs,exhibiting the finale in a  different manner to what I'm accustomed to. However, I less occupied with schoolwork as I'm on vacation,giving me more excuse to bake.  With that,I have created Cookie Club!!The cookie club is devised of  my favored cookie recipes, at the moment being three. To clarify the constituents of the club, each member (cookie) shall hold its own nickname and individual photo shoot,suitable to all occasions.  Without any further ado, let's dive straight into the recipes!

My first and foremost cookie recipe is Chocolate Dipped Strawberry cookies. You'll need:

210g of unsalted butter

330g of light brown sugar

1 large eggs

1 teaspoon of vanilla essence

390g of plain flour

2tsps bicarbonate soda

100g of strawberries,hulled and roughly chopped


Baking in the making:

Preheat oven to 170 C/150 C/ Gas Mark 4.

Cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy.Incorporate the egg and the vanilla essence,mixing well. Fold in the chocolate chips and strawberries (leave a few aside to press into the top of the cookies).

Roll the dough into balls(approx 2 tables per cookie). Press gently with your palms so they are slightly flattened, and press some extra chocolate chips and/or strawberries on top.Place on lined baking tray-be sure to space them out as they enlarge in size when being baked. Bake in the oven for 17 minutes.

Allow to cool for a few minutes on the tray before transferring to a cooling rack,allowing them to cool completely.

Melt the chocolate,dipping half the cookie into the chocolate. Rest the cookies on non-stick paper, garnishing cookies with sprinkles, if desired.  Here, I bring to you Strawberry Sprinkle!

To accompany Strawberry Sprinkle in the Cookie Club is Wild Blueberry Oatmeal Cookies, a MORNING delight:

2 medium bananas,mashed

162 grams of rolled oats

24 grams of plain flour

10g of dried blueberries

54 grams of coconut oil,melted

1/8 of teaspoon of salt

2 tablespoons of honey

2 tablespoons of chia/hemp seeds

Method:

Preheat the oven to 180 C/ 160 C fan/ Gas Mark.

As before, line a baking tray with baking paper,setting aside.

Within his medium bowl, combine everything,mixing well. Put in a tablespoon or two of plain flour if you feel the mixture is too shaggy and difficult to mould.

Using your hands, shape the dough into cookies,baking for 23-25 minutes, till the cookies are a shade of golden,to some degree and cooked through. 

I name this cute cookie Wiold(Wild and oat combined). If you can brainstorm a better name, express your ideas in the comments below.

I've made Strawberry Sprinkle...I've baked Wiold but we need one more to at least create a trio for the Cookie Club. Who else shall conjoin with the two other cookies?

100g of flour(unless you know the alternative of white flour in the UK...)

50g of plain flour

a pinch of baking soda

2 lemons

50g of brown sugar

50g butter 

1tsp of vanilla extract

Method:

Blend all dry ingredients in one bowl. Zest one lemon, gradually add the butter. Carry on adding enough lemon juice to form a dough.

Allow the dough 30 minute resting time.

Briefly flour the working surface,roll out the dough. Use your cookie cutter to staple out the cookies.

Align them onto the baking tray with baking paper. Bake for 10 minutes.


As the cookie require "beauty sleep" before being baked, I name this cool...Sweet Dreams which I find amusing as lemon is the most sour fruit you can consume on its own.
