Sourdough Cinnamon Buns

Image
  Cinnamon rolls are the perfect breakfast food for anyone with a sweet tooth! It is a sweet roll with icing drizzled on the top of it. In Sweden it is called a kanelbulle. Cinnamon rolls in Denmark are known as kanelsnegl, and in Finland it is called a korvapuusti. This recipe does use a bread starter, so it's not for everyone but if you would like to try it out click here. Appearance- I am so happy with how these turned out! They almost look store-bought. And they weren't even that hard to make! I would rate the appearance 5 of 5 stars. Taste- Not only did they look great, they tasted great too! They are on the sweeter side though, so if you don't like really sugary food these might not be for you. I would rate the taste 4 of 5 stars. Difficulty- As I said before, these are not that hard to make. But, because of all the steps and how time consuming they are (they take almost a whole day), I would rate the difficulty advanced.   Overall- Overall I would rate this r...

Basic sourdough bread

Image
  I recently got a sourdough bread starter. In case you don't know how a starter works, you have feed it flour every week so it grows. Once it has grown you can use as much as you want to make bread or other foods that use the starter. If you leave some starter you can feed it again and have unlimited bread! If you would like to try this recipe click here. Appearance- It is hard to get this bread to look perfect but after some practice you get the hang of it. I would rate the appearance 4 of 5 stars.  Taste- This bread tastes pretty good. It tastes especially good with butter. I would rate the taste 4 of 5 stars.  Difficulty- This was not a simple recipe. Because of the kneading, having to feed the starter, and just overall the whole process I would rate the difficulty advanced. Overall- Overall I would rate this recipe 4 out of 5 stars!                       ...

Banana Pudding

Image
          Pudding is such a delicious dessert or snack. Whether it's chocolate, vanilla or any other flavor, no one can say no to it (unless you don't like pudding). Just the thought of pudding layered with bananas and vanilla wafers topped with cool whip is enough to make you want some! This recipe I actually did not find online, I found it in a box of old recipes from who knows when. You can find the picture of the recipe below. Appearance- When you layer the wafers, bananas, and pudding, the pudding seeps within any open spots, therefore when you look at it it does not look like much. I expected to be able to see the layers. I would rate the appearance 3 of 5 stars. Taste- Even though the pudding didn't have the best appearance, it tasted really good! The actual pudding was delicious and the bananas and wafers added a good touch to it. So did the cool whip. I would rate the taste 5 of 5 stars! Difficulty- This was fairly easy to make and had very simple instr...

White Almond Cake with Creamy White Almond Frosting

Image
  When I was thinking about what dessert to make for new years, I knew I wanted to make a cake. But what cake….? Then it came to me. A white almond cake! I have made this cake once before, it was SO good! One of the best cakes ever. So why not start the new year off with one of my favorite cakes! This cake does not have actual almonds in it. Just almond flavoring and almond extract. I could not find almond extract so I just used vanilla extract. If you would like to try this recipe click here.  Appearance- This cake looks amazing! The creamy white frosting makes it look so… creamy! In my opinion the colorful sprinkles add a little touch. I would rate the appearance 5 of 5 stars!  Taste- This is one of the tastiest cakes ever. You get a delicious, sweet white cake with the slightest taste of almonds, and a creamy, sugary, frosting to tie it all together. I would rate the taste 5 of 5 stars! Difficulty- This cake looks hard, but it's really not! Very simple and easy. I woul...
