The Mrs. and I got a nice slow cooker as one of our wedding gifts. It was sitting in a box for a while until Rahul convinced me to open it up and give it a shot. The Mrs. loves pasta and I wanted to try a slow cooker so I found a recipe that combined both. At first I was a little skeptical, raw pasta in a slow cooker? But it turned out well and produced a lot of leftovers. Give it a shot and let me know what you think.
Instagrahamed!
While baking the cake pops last week a friend introduced me to the site, Bakerella. Living in Silicon Valley, this post instantly caught my eye.
This was my first time using fondant and I think I'll use it again. Bake the graham crackers first and then layer on the fondant to make the instagram logo.
Not only did the Mrs like the taste, she even commented: "Oh. my. god. I don't think a man has ever baked this before."
The Mrs. provided the instagram of the instagraham:
Cake Pops
The Mrs. loves starbucks cake pops. I've seen others bake them so decided to give it a shot this week. The candy coating was definitely the hardest aspect. Which is a shame because the coating makes the cake pop visually appealing. Major thanks to Master Chef Amelia for patiently answering my questions and providing tips! Will definitely try these again to get a smoother candy coating.
