Baking
I started to bake during quarantine, as I had a lot of time on my hands, and it soon became a great hobby. I love to try new recipes and push my baking boundaries! I started small with simple one-component bakes, but I have started to level up to more complicated and even multi-day bakes.
Annikies
One of my most popular bakes is my raspberry and apricot thumbprint cookies. In 2021, I started my cookie brand, Annikies, and I debuted it at my Arangetram! They were a big success and I hope to even sell them in the future!
My Previous Bakes!
-
Artisan Bread 🥖
Artisan bread is just a fancy way of saying handmade bread! This all-purpose flour version was equally delicious!
-
Tiramisu ☕
Tiramisu is a decadent (and fancy) dessert that is fit for all occasions. It is a layered dessert of ladyfingers, coffee, and mascarpone whipped cream. For a final touch, it is generously dusted with cocoa powder!
-
Pumpkin Pie 🎃
I made Pumpkin Pie for the first time for the Thanksgiving of 2020. That pie was such a hit that I am personally responsible for eating at least half of it, so I decided the perfect way to celebrate the Thanksgiving of 2021 was to make it again!
-
Swiss Roll 🍥
A Swiss Roll sounds like a super complicated dessert, but it is really just the classic cake and frosting that everyone loves! With the addition of a little tart strawberry jam, I promise you won’t last more than an hour without taking a bite!
-
Mango Bars 🥭
These delicious mango bars (made with my favorite fruit!) are the perfect fruity treat! Top them with some whipped cream and you’re all set!
-
Black Forest Cake 🍒
This cake is one of my greatest baking accomplishments! I made it for my parents’ anniversary, and it was gone within a couple of days! This cake has a moist, yet light, chocolate cake and is filled with creamy whipped cream and fresh cherries! As the cherry on top (dad joke lol), it is covered…
-
Lemon Bars 🍋
These Lemon Bars taste just like lemon starburst! With a crunchy pie crust base and a sweet and tart lemon curd on top!
-
Thumbprint Cookies 👍🍪
Thumbprint cookies are mini bite-size treats with a shortbread cookie filled with a either raspberry or apricot jam!
-
Whoopie Pies 🍫
Whoopie Pies are both fun to say, and fun to eat! A chocolate cookie-cake sandwich filled with vanilla swiss buttercream spells tasty in any language!
-
Chocolate Cupcakes 🧁
Chocolate Cupcakes are classic and delicious! I made these for my friend’s 14th birthday!
-
Banana Walnut Bread 🍌
Banana Walnut Bread is one of my favorite items to bake, and one of my family’s favorite items to eat! This dense and moist bread is both flavorful and filling, but you will always go back for a second slice!
