Getting myself ready and prep for an upcoming team building class for a client next month. It's so fun creating and testing recipes and curating experiences.

This is an orange infused shortbread cookie with an orange dark chocolate drizzle. The cookie by itself is not overly sweet and the orange aroma is there a lovely. The orange dark chocolate enhances that flavor the it's bittersweetness take it up a notch.

Playing with flavors is so fun.

Since I had left over chocolate I figured I might as well drizzle over some strawberries.

Have a group that's interested in a fun activity hit me up!

Let's create an experience ❀️

Next up Nectarines. As a kid I confused them with peaches.

Despite their similarities, they do have distinct features to tell them apart:

Skin: Peaches have a fuzzy skin while Nectarines are smooth and shiny.

Flavor: The fuzz on Peaches can add a mild bitterness, Nectarines have a more concentrated flavor.

Size & Texture: Peaches are larger and softer. Nectarines are smaller, firmer.

Flesh: Peaches have either white or yellow flesh. Nectarines are often more aromatic and firmer.

No matter your preference, both are perfect summer snacks! πŸ‘β€οΈπŸ’

Only a few hours left to vote for me for this round to make it to the top 10 in my group! I'm ranked #8!

I'm trying to secure my spot in the top 15 for the virtual competition with a chance to meet Carla Hall!

Things I've learned so far are about:

Planning ahead for events and meals and the importance of prep to make the day off much easier.

My baking class students know all about this as they get an email from me prior to the start of our class to misen place!

Second, was a great workshop from Carla Hall about plating and how to balance the plate with height and texture and few techniques!

Check out my REEL today with one technique I learned.

Dinners at my house are about get "fancy"-lol

Daddy's Girl here!

My dad has been one of the biggest supporters of my culinary habits. We've had competitions to see who made the best desert. Most times he would win other times I would.

My biggest accomplishment was mastering his yeast rolls it has taken YEARS but I got his seal lf approval and the baton has been passed on to me to carry the family tradition.

I'm just thankful he's still with me 82 years young to see what I can master next.

Happy Father's Day!

Did you know that Red Velvet cake is...

Chocolate cake with red food coloring?

It's still a chocolate fest for me!

Ok its not THAT simple but there is a lot of overlap. I've tested a great recipe and made one minor tweak to the icing.

If I were to make these again I would make them with rouge cocoa powder which has a natural red hue. (That's another post for another day) πŸ€ͺ

Allow me to reintroduce myself My name is Kasandra creator of Busy and Baked. ​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
I created this space for people like me-working full time professionals who love to bake or would like to know how to.​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
Born and raised in Detroit and I currently live in the DMV area. ​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
Top 3 things to know about me.​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
1. I work full time in healthcare and while I love my job. Baking and cooking and getting lost in culinary arts is my way to escape. ​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
2. I love watching cooking shows.​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
My favorite show is because it challenges me to think about how make something amazing with the things I have. And I appreciate what I have in my own kitchen and know that magic can be made with the simplest of things. The other is the History Channel and the "Food that Built America"​​​​​​​​ if you like to know random food facts check it out!
​​​​​​​​
3. I have a cat and husband and whole host of family and friends who put up with my cooking and baking adventures, are courageous taste testers of my experiments. ​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
Baking is alot like life. It's more about trial and error than it is about perfection. ​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
Thank you for coming along on this journey with me.

Did you know that strawberries are not actually berries, but rather an "accessory fruit" made up of many tiny seeds on the outside of a fleshy receptacle?​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​Strawberries are also packed with nutrients like vitamin C, folate, and fiber, and are a great source of antioxidants. But to get the most out of your strawberries, it's important to store and clean them properly!

Checkout my blog post on Strawberries for some Quick tips.
