Holiday Baking Goals...

Hello Bloggers,

It's only one of the girls from Cupcake Dreams blogging tonight, but I've been thinking about baking all day today and I wanted to share my excitement with everyone!  I know it's been forever since we did our last blog post and I apologise on behalf of both us girls!  Unfortunately, uni has gotten to the stage where the last few weeks have been extremely crazy and stressful!  But the good news is that we will be on our break soon, so there will be plenty of time for baking and I'm sure that there will be plenty of stories to share with you all.

Today we went shopping and naturally found ourselves in a kitchenware shop.  Just looking around at all the different equipment such as the icing bags, cookie cutters and cookbooks got us excited about baking again!  Did you know they make Macaroon Pans to bake your macaroons in perfect circles that are all exactly the same size?  How perfect for us perfectionists - just another little tool we can use to attempt making perfectly proportioned macaroons again!  Hopefully these macaroons will make it into the oven this time...


Like I mentioned earlier, I'm eager to get back into baking (even though I'm still super busy with exam study... I really shouldn't even be on here right now... I'm procrastinating)!
So I thought I would share a little snap shot of my baking goals for the holidays...

 To make these yummy Chocolate French Macaroons.
Anything with chocolate as the main ingredient has got to taste amazing!


To make a few gluten-free desserts such as these Gluten-Free Chocolate Cupcakes.
One of my goals for our future cake shop is to cater to people with gluten intolerances.  Luckily, gluten-free desserts taste delicious as well!


 
To successfully make brownies!
I know they sound super easy, but for some reason, every time I cook brownies they are a fail... 


Stay tuned - I promise we will have some new baking stories to share with you real soon!  xx
