My new hobby - baking galore ^-^

Finally, I found time to bake... The super excited "me" giggled at the taste of my creations ^-^

A novice at baking...  I bought the following baking tools (I think these are the most basic if you want to try baking).  Sharing my own list.
  1. 1 set of mixing bowls - different sizes (S, M, L); choose the deep bowls
  2. Plastic scraper set
  3. Wooden spoon
  4. Measuring spoons
  5. Liquid measuring cup
  6. 8" round baking pan - 1 only for small cakes
  7. Muffin baking trays - 2 trays
  8. Sifter
  9. Paper cups (for cupcakes)
I don't have a mixer. I spent approx. php1,400.00 for all the tools.

I tried two cupcake recipes before I went into cakes. The first one I tried was red velvet cupcakes. The verdict? Yummy. I got high fives for this. However, I got differen opinions for the cream cheese frosting. My fault actually because I used regular sugar instead of powdered sugar. The next recipe I tried was choco muffins. Taste? Perfect. For the cake, I baked moist chocolate cake with choco fudge frosting. The cake was definitely moist and yummy. The frosting tasted just right.
