Today I made some #minicakes with a friend! A basic #chocolatecake and some #homemade #whippedcream and #freshstrawberries. I like to pipe with whipped cream vs icing. It's so much lighter and not too overpowering for the rest of the cake. #baking #bakingcakes #bakingnewbie

Big news- I cleaned all the Worbla off my rolling pin to actually use it for cookies. What’s happening to me? 😳😆 Excited to be partnering with @missjonesbakes as a brand ambassador. You should probably expect many more humorous attempts at baking before something turns out impressive 😁 #betterwithmissjones #baking #cosplayerproblems #bakingnewbie (at Beaches, Jacksonville Beach, Florida)

Dear Journal, Here is a photo of my freshly baked Oatmeal Raisin Cookies. I'm happy with the taste and texture, I just need to improve on the uniformity of the size.

Dear Journal, I'm sharing this photo of my Chocolate-Frosted Eclairs. It was quite challenging doing these at home: choux pastry, vanilla pastry cream, and the chocolate ganache. I realized the value of time management and multitasking. The taste is good though.

Dear Journal, I am happy about the outcome of my Focaccia and I finally got over my previous “soft rolls fail.” These beauties are made with onion, garlic, and rosemary. I love the smell of freshly baked bread.

Dear Journal, I tried to make a bunch of dinner rolls. It was soft and it tasted good but I kinda burned the top so I will try again on another day. I also have to buy an oven thermometer ‘cause it was not evenly baked. It was my first attempt to create some bread at home. Practice makes perfect, right? Anyway, Just “dough” it.

Dear Journal, Here's snapshot of my Homemade Butterscotch Bites. I made these for my friends as Christmas giveaways. These are baked with love and a lot if determination, LOL. I'm still a baking newbie and hopefully will get the hang of it soon.

Dear Journal, I shared these goodies with my college friends during our “mini” reunion. I got the recipe of the Sugar Cookies from allrecipes.com while the Choco Shortbread was inspired by the Christmas Chocolate Biscuits of Nigella Lawson. I'm still a baking newbie and I appreciated every feedback about my goodies, there's still room for improvement and learning something new is fun. Happy Holidays.
