Getting ReadySo this week I was feeling special so I decided to make two recipes. Well it wasn't planned but I will explain in a second. Earlier in this project my dad said his only request was chocolate eclair cake. He said he hadn't had it in so long and it reminded him a lot of childhood so this week was mainly for him. I got all of my ingredients at Dollar General this week which was nice because it was cheap. All I needed was vanilla pudding, cool whip, and gram crackers. So once I made the cake I told one of my friends and he really wanted me to make my cookies. These cookies are called monster cookies and they are what got me into baking. I always have the ingredients on hand so I didn't have to worry about that aspect. I have made them so many times that I have the recipe memorized so those were really calming and easy for me. So this week was pretty simple and this is how it went. Lets Get BakingOverall both of these recipes were pretty easy. The cake required no actual baking in the oven. I started with thawing out the cool whip. Again this week, it tested my patience. Who knew it took so long for cool whip to thaw? I waited a good 30 minutes and then just gave up. So I mixed the pudding and let it sit for 5 minutes then mixed in the cool whip with it. After this I laid down the gram crackers on the bottom of the dish and then put the mixture of pudding and cool whip on top and continues to make layers until the dish was full. At the end I melted chocolate icing which was unusual for me. I had to be very careful because if I were to spill it I would have burned myself. But I did not. I poured it on top of the cake and let it sit in the fridge for twelve hours. After that I was done. Besides the twelve hour waiting, the whole process probably took 20 minutes which was really nice. The next day I decided to make cookies because my friend really talked me into it. I really didn't feel like it if I am being honest but I decided it wasn't that hard and I hadn't made them in forever. These cookies were absolutely delicious and they were gone within 10 minutes of me finishing them. Mr. Barkers Rating: 8/10 Landon Novak's Rating: 8/10 (Considering they tasted it on Wednesday and it was made on Friday) ConclusionI thoroughly enjoyed this week even though it didn't challenge me that much. Both of my recipes turned out well and tasted amazing. Since people have started to figure out I am doing this project and I am getting many requests. I have gotten requests for apple cinnamon pie, red velvet cake, and a few more things. Next week I don't know what I am going to make. However, I will find a recipe and hopefully succeed. One thing I realized this week is that when I bring my deserts to school I need to bring more utensils. I hope that next week goes as well as this week did and I continue to learn the art of baking.
