What's New in Your Kitchen?

What's in your kitchen? Or better yet, what do you want new in your kitchen? For me personally, I could do some online window shopping for kitchen stuff for the majority of the day if I had the time. For instance new pots, pans and some bakeware is what I would be looking for right now.

Since the summer days have been way hotter than usual, I've been keeping cool indoors and just cruised around online to admire some new kitchen items. I did come across one website I liked called K & Co shop and they have a few homeware items that I were nice and a few that I never seen before. They had a lot of colorful kitchen items and that's the direction I want to go in is adding color to my kitchen without having to paint. Here are a few that I liked so far while just glancing through:

The color orange is nice and plus I like the grill marks in the frying pan. I never had a cast iron pan before, but I heard they are good to cook with. This is the JML Country Cookware set.

 

I don't know why I would buy this since I don't make casseroles, but I thought the dish looked cool, plus it's in my favorite color. This is Prestige This Morning Casserole Dish. 

 

I know my kids would love for me to make big ole cupcakes, so the JML Big Top Cupcake would be fun to bake with.

And I thought this frying pan was pretty cute. It's from Jamie Oliver and if you're not able to read what it says, on the bottom of the pan it says "I'm Cooking, You're Washing Up". Haha, love it!

Ok, your turn. What is on your kitchen wishlist that you would like to get?

Princess Peach Car Cake

A client asked for a Princess Peach cake, like one a had made a few months ago. Due to a time crunch this week, I agreed, but needed to use a toy topper rather than spend several hours making Princess Peach out of fondant. The cake still turned out cute. The top layer was white with a strawberry filling and the bottom layer was white and chocolate with an Oreo Filling.

Harry Potter Cake

My daughter, Alexis, turned 13 this week, so we threw her a Harry Potter party, that included going to the midnight showing.


This was a marble cake, with ivory buttercream frosting. The sorting hat was made of Rice Krispy Treats, covered in fondant. The hat was fun to make and turned out great.

Candyland Cake

This was a 3 layer cake - chocolate with Oreo filling, white with strawberry filling, and marble with chocolate filling. I made the lollipops out of fondant, and used candy to decorate the rest of the cake. The castle topper is cake-filled ice cream cones that are frosted and topped with fondant cherries. It looks similar to the castle at the end of the game.

Another Brownie Post???

Yep, another one, but this one is a positive post. Since I had a box of brownies that had been stashed in the cabinet for a while and I had bought a new baking pan, not too long ago and thought I would try this again. Well after making sure the ingredients were mixed well, poured into the pan and left it baking at the correct time and temperature, the brownies came out moist and not gooey, gooey like they were before. I was tempted in getting that Perfect Brownie product that I seen some time ago to try it out so that the brownies would be at least in equal sizes. I can't go equally for the world.

Now I used a store brand kind of brownies and I added an extra egg to make them cake like, so I'm not sure if the brand and the extra egg made a difference or what. Maybe I will try and see how it will turn out with another brownie mix. A picture is included, I kept them in the pan as they I have a cover to put over it to keep them moist. And yes, that is half the pan already gone. Shows proof that it came out really well =)

Flower Baby Shower Cake

I made this cake for a baby shower we were throwing for a friend. The plates were striped with pink daisies on them, so I went with making a cake with a baby sleeping, wrapped in one of the petals. This cake was a lemon cake with a lemon gel filling.
