I need to bake…or I will go crazy.

August 31, 2008 · Filed Under Baking with Nika, Random Ramblings 

My hands are itching to bake. Since I started working, I only had a chance to bake twice and I made the same thing. My chocolate cake. Right now I feel like baking. I’m in the mood for it. The thing is I don’t have much ingredients to experiment with in the kitchen. My supplies have dwindled and I need to go get some but I can’t leave my two younger siblings since everyone left and I was assigned to look after them. I seriously miss the feel of dough on my palms. I love kneading them and making them into something. Its both relaxing and fun. I want to make another cake too. I’m thinking another chocolate cake but adding my leftover maraschino cherries and syrup as a variation because I am a bit tired of making just chocolate cake. I also want to make a chiffon cake and maybe make a bit of custard to sandwich in between so my siblings will have “baon” as well. Its been quite long as well since I last made pizza. I don’t have mozzarella. I’m desperate. *cries*

I seriously need to keep 3k on my next payday so I can go splurge on my ingredients. I’m going to buy 10 kilos of flour and sugar immediately, a few bottles of vegetable oil and olive oil, a chunk of mozzarella, two 5 pound bags of powdered sugar, 5 bars of unsalted butter (I need more but its expensive already), a few cans and cartons of milk (evaporated, pasteurized and condensed), some whipping cream, a new batch of yeast, a couple of berry preserves (yes fresh ones aren’t readily available so I have to make use of canned strawberries, blueberries and other rare fruits I can find), baking cups, vanilla, baking soda and at least another 10 inch round cake pan.

I haven’t included yet a Kitchenaid to my priority list (although I want to…badly) since its quite heavy on the pocket. Heh, who knows I might win one somewhere or someone might feel like giving me one. Haha. Seriously if I get gifted with one, I’d love that someone forever. I’m known to give out cakes and other baked stuff randomly so they might receive one every now and then from me. I hope Kitchenaid hears my plea. Lol. Hmmmm, now that made me think which I want to get first. A larger oven (since I’m only using a small one so I can’t make large batches) or the Kitchenaid. I just know I want both. Anyone want to sponsor? Haha.

    Hi, I was just updating my links at http://chocolateword.net from my http://bloggityblogs.wordpress.com account and I am quite unsure under what catergory would you want me to put your blog…do you prefer your name under cooking links or regular links? I hope you don’t mind if I added you again. Just let me know where to put your site category. Thanks.

    By the way, I love everything chocolate. especially a moist chocolate cake. Is there room for an extra friend to come and be a taste tester? *raised up my hand :)
