Are we there yet?


All my blogs are all starting to sound the same. I am sorry for whoever has to read them because once again I have purely worked on my research paper. I still have so much more work left to do but Mrs.Price has helped me so much and is making really breaking it down. I have got to cook this week but last week I helped my mom cook different cakes for the Nicaragua bake sale. I helped her cook two pumpkin spice cakes, coconut pies, and two pound cakes. There might have been one more but I’m not sure. Over thanksgiving I was looking at the Southern Home Christmas magazine edition and I found a lot of stuff I am going to try over the holidays. But one I really wanted to try was red velvet cupcakes. I promise after next weeks, these blogs could get a little bit more interesting, sorry! Homework is just taking over my life again. I also really want to do something with my hospitality team but just think right now is to hectic for me and everybody so I might wait until next semester. Last week I did really enjoy Mrs. Stellar speaking and sharing her website thingy. I had no idea she did all of that. She is pretty amazing in so many different ways. Who knew she was such a good photographer, could make handbags, and collects antiques? She seems like such a diverse and talented woman. To bad I can’t have her as a teacher. Anyways, here is a picture of the red velvet cupcakes and if anybody has any other good Christmas recipes, just let me know!

  1. I thought about you over the holidays Amanda! I wanted to make a coconut cake which I have never done so I went to the Martha Stewart website and found a recipe for the "Ultimate Coconut Cake". It is from the Peninsula Grill in Charleston. It is a 12 pound, 6 layer cake with 2 pounds of butter in it. It costs $100 to buy from them! I made it but did not totally follow the recipe. I didn't make the filling but it was still delicious!! It was 3 layers and about 7 inches tall. Check it out at http://www.marthastewart.com/recipe/ultimate-coconut-cake
