First Day of College!

Today was my first day of classes at SUU. I only had 3 classes because my Sociology class was cancelled for the day. It was definitely weird walking across campus to each class, but SUU has a beautiful campus so it's a pretty walk. It's also different having to search for a parking spot just to go to school. We all know Emery High has a plethora of parking spaces available. Altogether, I think I'm going to like SUU and have a fun time in Cedar City.

Caramel Apples

Today we made White Chocolate Cinnamon Caramel Apples.. They were really good. The girl in the picture is Jessica. She is the friend that I do all of my baking with. Tonight was our last night to bake before we both are gone.

Baking

A friend and I are determined to open up our own baker when we're done with college, so every Tuesday we bake something different. Usually it's cupcakes, but this week we made no-bake cookies, which doesn't really count as baking, but it's still a lovely treat. I alone have been baking something new at least once a week. This week I made two different things. First, I made Eclairs with vanilla pastry cream and chocolate drizzled over the top. Second, I made Banana Layer Cake with Cream Cheese frosting. They were both mighty tasty. Some other things that I have made are Peanut Butter cupcakes with Chocolate frosting and a reese's on top, S'more Cookies, Chocolate Reese's cupcakes with Peanut Butter frosting, and Oreo cupcakes with cream cheese frosting.  

These are the finished Eclairs. They look like cream puffs, but I used the eclair recipe. I didn't have the right tip for the icing bag so I just plopped the dough on the pan and hoped it would work. I guess it did!

This is the Banana Layer Cake. I really like the cream cheese frosting. As for the cake, I haven't tried it yet, but I'm assuming it's good because my dad and Greg are just finishing up their second pieces.
