| birthday cake for connor! |
One of the most fabulous aspects of living
in the Vines is a shared joy for baking. I have LOVED getting to bake with my
housemates. While oatmeal banana chocolate muffins are still my go-to, we have
also made some delicious berry scones, a chocolate (with mocha frosting!) cake for Connor’s
birthday, and all sorts of cookies. A few girls have been creative enough to
venture into the realm of granola bars and baked oatmeal bars
for breakfast. And it’s not just the girls - Christoph makes dinners rolls from scratch, I’ve tasted Anthony’s great Irish soda bread, and Tom is quite
the banana bread baker…so much baking talent!

However, with so many people living in one
house, it’s pretty much a given that whatever you make will be consumed by everyone in sight in just a few minutes. But, I
love the community aspect of our house, and I love having my baking be appreciated by my many hungry
housemates (and I’ve quickly learned to freeze any muffins I want to save for
future breakfasts!). There's nothing more fun than late-night baking with
friends and sharing the tastiness with whoever is passing through the
kitchen. :D
Got any good baking ideas?? Send them my
way and we’ll check them out!

Yum! I don't really cook much anymore but Karissa does a killer white chocolate, cherry scone that you freeze ready to bake then just cook as needed. If your housemates won't eat frozen dough, voila - you have scones any time. Very brill! I'll ask her to send it to you. xoxo, Aunt Pat
ReplyDeleteThose sound delicious, and so handy that the dough can be frozen!! I would love the recipe!
