Eclairs

So yesterday I made eclairs from my Harry Potter cookbook. They were so good and every last one of them were gone. My first batch I made too skinny but the second batch was perfect. Nice an puffed. I put the filling in the big ones and mom came up with the idea of dipping the little ones in the cream. Mom says I can start baking whenever I want (after school of course) all I have to do is tell her what ingredients to stock up on. Now I am hopeing to do at least one new recipe every other week. So check in soon for updates and pics. I will post the recipe soon.

Cake

My Granny's B-day is on Saturday and I am making the cake. Now she asked for a chocolate cake with chocolate frosting nothing fancy, but I have decided to make that and put on top a ball of yarn make out of rice crispy treats and fondant. Wish me luck. I also want to report that I found a cookbook I am really excited about. The Unofficial Harry Potter Cookbook!!! It has recipes for the food mentioned in the books it tells you where it shows up in the book down to the chapter. Can't Wait to try it.

Hope you all had a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year filled with family, fun, and of coarse food. My cosin came into town an I made him a birthday cake in the shape of a Texas Longhorn (his favorite football team). Well I guess you couldn't call it a cake considering it was made purely out of rice crispy treats. This is because I used the wrong kind of cake pan on accident and it would not come out and yes I greased and floured it. My original plan was to make the head out of cake and the horns out of rice crispy but due to the blunder I mentioned a few seconds ago I was forced to used rice crispy treats for the whole thing and for the first time. It was a lot of fun but they harden pretty fast so you have to work with it quickly. I will post pictures shortly.
