2011 Dessert Bucket List Update!

Attention: this update has been about four weeks in the making. I’m not sure why I didn’t post it at the end 2011, but it’s still January so I think I”m good. For those of you who aren’t familiar with my Dessert Bucket List, it’s a list of desserts I planned to make in 2011. Take a peek at my 2011 list and the results of my dessert making adventures.

 

1- Bake a banana cheesecake: Didn’t make

2- Make Gingerbread: Nope

3- Make pumpkin whoopie pies: Do lemon whoopie pies count?

4- Bake a Lemon Pound Cake: Yes and no. First cake was not great, but the mini bundt cakes were AWESOME!

5- Make Lemon Squares: Yes, but they weren’t pretty. Good, but not pretty

6- Buy ice cream maker and make homemade ice cream: No ice cream maker purchased, but I made this cool two ingredient ice cream that required no ice cream machine. Winning!

7- Try a new homemade bread recipe (not sure what kind yet): Made this yummy peach bread. It was fabulous!

8-Bake Oatmeal Raisin Cookies: Nope.

9- Make homemade caramels: Didn’t happen

10- Make the perfect yellow cake!: Sigh, I didn’t make this either.

11- Angel Food Cake: Okay, let me explain.

12- Creme Brulee’: Um, what had happened was

13-Chocolate Souffle’: I got nothing

 

So, I may not have made all the things I wanted to make, but I made 5 out of 13 and I made some things that I didn’t add to my  list like ginger cookies and baked doughnuts. So I really wasn’t a slacker.

I also did something really big for me and that was host my first event as a result of Dessert Bucket list blog post.  Take at look at the video. It was a blast!

 

 

Be on the look out  for my 2012 Dessert Bucket List next week. If you didn’t join in on the fun last year, I hope you join me this year!
