11/12/2017 1 Comment Epic Fail.... Sort ofHello and welcome to this week’s blog! This week I made red velvet whoopie pies and planned on donating them to my church. I planned to drop them off at my pastor's house the night before, so I wouldn’t run into the same issues I did last week. However, things didn’t go according to plan. This week I did not get a chance to bake during the school week because we had a short week at school (yay!), and I was swamped with homework (boo!). However, it was a blessing in disguise that I didn’t have a chance to bake during the week. I first went to the store and gathered my ingredients. This week I had to get almost all of my ingredients. The recipe called for a store-bought package of cream cheese frosting, but I’m not a big fan of store-bought icing, so I decided to find my own recipe and make it homemade. When I started baking I looked at my recipes and saw that both of them were a basically a one-step process. I was super excited because I knew it wouldn’t take long. Well, I was very wrong about that. The batter for the whoopie pies was the thickest batter I’ve ever had to work with. It was terrible to try to pipe out into circles or work with period. It took a couple tries before I kind of got the hang of it. It was so messy. There was batter all over the counter, our salt and pepper shakers, me, the wall, etc. You name it there was batter on it. Once I finally got the first batch in the oven I was going to start making my cream cheese frosting. That didn’t happen. I spent the whole time wiping off the counter and trying to get things under control. When they came out they just looked like flat cookies. I just had to say screw it and keep going. I then made my icing which was a breeze (thank gosh) and then piped it onto my whoopie pies. They looked a little better but I still only had eight, and I was so annoyed I decided there was no way I was doing another batch. Since I only had eight I decided it wasn’t enough to donate and plus they weren’t very pretty. When I finished with them I tried them to see if they even tasted good and they were delicious. My family couldn’t get enough of them. I decided next week I’m going to attempt to donate to my church. Hopefully, the third time's the charm! :) Don’t forget to check out my pictures down below as well as the links to this delicious recipe. Make sure to tune in next week. I’ll be making chocolate caramel pretzel cookies! Thanks for reading. Links - http://scrappygeek.com/red-velvet-whoopie-pie-recipe/ https://www.wineandglue.com/the-best-cream-cheese-frosting/

I am sorry that you had some issues. It is really irritating when something doesn't go right in the kitchen. I too have had some struggles cooking.
