february baking

so, january wasn't bad... made apple crumble 3-4 times, and a failed lemon lime cake.

tried to make it again in february, and managed to fail again. my friend @ditut (last-bite.blogspot.com) said it could have many causes, from mixing it too much, unstable temperature, etc. in any case, we made the best out of it, as you can see in the pics :)

one recipe that i tried out and was successful was the chocolate carrot cake from rita's blog (http://mochachocolatarita.blogspot.com/2009/08/chocolate-carrot-cake-moist-very.html) i totally love her recipes which seem doable for me, and with easy and affordable ingredients. my aunts and sisters have asked for the recipe, and the kids seem to love it too! so i ended up making this moist chocolaty cake a few times this month.

also tried to make a veggie-potato casserole thingy (don't know if it actually is baking, but it required putting it in the oven haha!), also a few instant muffin/cupcakes by betty crocker.

i will attempt to make a 4 tier chocolate cake, recipe by junior masterchef, as requested by hubby.
