Time to 'Chai' something new

Last week, I had to biggest craving for cinnamon rolls.  Something about the balance of sweet with spice just makes everything nice!  Truth be told, I haven't made cinnamon rolls since home economics class in high school, so it has been quite sometime since I tried.  Luckily, since then Pinterest has been my go to for recipes and sorts.  So I went to Pinterest and found this amazingly simple recipe for them here: Cinnamon Rolls.  Considering the lack of preparation; I think it turned out pretty well.  But here's a twist I added to this already amazing dessert-  I made a chai tea glaze to put on top!  Instead of making a homemade cream cheese frosting for it, I figured since I work at a tea salon, why not try to fuse the 2 things together? 

Red Velvet Dreams

Hey everyone,
 
So this past week was my friend Tasha's 24th birthday and I wanted to do something real special for her.  Now honestly, I don't have as much disposable income as I want to get a her nice present so I had to look at my more DIY/crafty side to figure out what to get her.  I was browsing Pinterest when it clicked! I was going to use the skills I had started developing from class to make her a birthday cake!

A look to the future

Hey everyone, so as part of my goal to blog more I've came up with a bunch of things I thought would be great to start blogging about (you know besides my usual baking and DIY projects).

My Sweet Tooth for Christmas

Hey everyone, so here is a follow up to my last post on Christmas. But instead of all the Christmas decor and crafts I want to show you all the Christmas baking I've done this past season. Now I will admit I was pretty ambitious this season, considering all things. I somehow made time while working practically everyday to make a bunch of goodies that I was able to share with most my friends.

So I was browsing Pinterest and saw this amazingly really easy recipe for a chocolate truffle, that I had all the ingredients for stocked in my pantry. This was the first time I had made truffles, and as simple as it was to make it, I found it there was a lot of waiting time- particularly waiting for the chocolate to settle before scooping them into chunks, then letting them settle again before rolling them into balls. I then coated them with simple confectionary sugar or a cocoa/sugar mixture.

A couple Ap.PIE.tizing creations

Pie 1

Hey everyone!
So, I am a complete failure at this weekly blogging thing but with 2 jobs and everything else, I don't feel so bad! I've been pretty busy because I recently started a youtube channel where I try to do fun DIY stuff there. (Link at the end of post), I got a new restaurant job where I work 4 days a week as well as my 3 days at the coffee shop.  Plus I have so many projects in mind that I'm trying to get started.  I also really value my social life so whenever I get a chance, I try to reconnect with old friends or get to know new friends. But I hope whatever your doing, you're well and thanks for checking out my blog; I really appreciate it.

Pie 2

 Recently in the past few weeks, I've gotten into baking pies! I've never made them before, so I thought I'd try my hand at it and I might be slightly obsessed.  Now, normally I would want to try to make everything from scratch but obviously with my lack of time I had to resort to buying pre-made crusts, which surprisingly taste pretty good.  Now onto the important question; what kind of pie did I make?  Well, I've made a couple but here are 2 that I've made that I really enjoyed!
