TODAY'S BAKING PRACTICE

Our kitchen is still under construction, but we've been busy practicing recipes in our test kitchen. Here are some of the items that we produced today.

Today's Pastries:

Chocolate Cupcakes with Orange Cream Topping

These cupcakes turned out well. They had a rich flavor and were very moist. The cream was surprisingly light and tangy, made with whipped cream cheese, orange zest, and a squeeze of fresh orange juice.










Chocolate Chip Cookies

These cookies were still soft from oven heat and were just starting to develop a nice chew. There was a mixture of different chocolates inside along with some toffee bits.














Oatmeal Raisin Cookies

These quintessential oatmeal raisin cookies had a wonderful chewy texture. The sweetly spiced flavor would pair well with a strong drink such as black tea or dark roast coffee.

Brownies with White Chocolate Chips

This brownie loaf was fresh out of the oven and had an awesome chocolatey color and aroma. A few more hours of resting and cooling were needed for it to develop more density.
