Thanksgiving Dinner

                                               Happy Thanksgiving!

Today I made two pumpkin pies and green bean casserole for Thanksgiving dinner.  For the pumpkin pies, I used the pumpkin pie mix that I used in my other post last month: http://thejuniorbaker12.blogspot.com/2016/10/pumpkin-pie_19.html . One of these cans makes one 9" pumpkin pie I made two pies, so I needed two cans.


You will also need per one can of mix one 9" pie shell, 2 eggs, and 5 fl. oz. of evaporated milk, or 2/3 cup of evaporated milk.





Mix it together and pour into the pie shell. I used Keebler's Ready
Crust Graham pie shell.


Before I start mixing ingredients, I always preheat the oven first. For this recipe preheat your oven to 425. One you put the pies in the oven, bake at 425 for 15 minutes then reduce the temperature to 350, then bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a tester comes out clean.



The recipe for the green bean casserole is on the back of the French's French Fried Onions container

I doubled the recipe for the amount of people that we had. Since we didn't have 2 cans of cream of mushroom soup, I used cream of chicken for the second can. Mix it all in a baking dish. I used a 13x9 baking pan.  First, mix the milk, soup, and pepper together.


Then stir in the green beans.


Add the onions.



Then bake in the oven at 350 for 30 minutes.

Blue and White Swirl Cake

So here it is....my first real cake decorating video and post! I made chocolate cake, filled with chocolate icing, and covered in blue and white flowers and stars. This cake looks a little hard to make, but in reality is very easy ! To start out, I baked two nine inch chocolate cakes, let them cool, and leveled them using my cake leveler. Then I filled and stacked them. I used store bought icing to fill the cake. More info on that below. I finally crumb coated them and put them in the freezer to chill for 15 minutes. For this cake, I made some American buttercream, and dyed half of it blue. I used some blue food coloring I had on hand, and probably put about 5-6 drops of in in my buttercream. I was worried I would not have enough buttercream to pipe on the outside of my cake if I were to fill it with my buttercream. So instead of filling my cake with the buttercream, I used a can of chocolate store bought icing I had in the pantry. So I filled and crumb coated my cakes wi...

Snickerdoodles

Since Fall is here, I thought I would post a fall themed recipe. So I usually use the recipe I have in my Betty Crocker cookbook, but today I wanted to try something different. I went online and found this recipe from Cookies and Cups, so check out her blog. I think I will probably use the Betty Crocker recipe, so I will tell you more about that at the end of this post. As usual when creaming butter and sugar, you really want to make sure you do it well. I think I creamed mine for at least 3 minutes. More time, such as 5 minutes, would be even better. Once the butter is all creamed together with the sugars, you are going to add your egg and egg yolk one at a  time.   Before we mix the eggs, we are going to add our baking soda, cream of tartar, salt, cinnamon, and vanilla. I didn't include the clip of me adding the baking soda because I didn't want you to get it confused with the cream of tartar, but don't worry, I added it. So once all of that is is ...
