I suppose I could do some step by step stuff too, but at the moment the processes are really simple (Throw stuff into bowl, mix, put in cake tin, bake.) so I didn't think it'd be too interesting (hence the lack of recipes.)

Back at my old job, I think the consensus was that baking skills was at least a 1 point bonus on the hotness scale. After seeing these pictures, I definitely agree.

I love hodeokk! I was addicted to a little stall by my local subway station every Winter. I remember seeing a recipe for it online so I'll definitely have a go. Carrot cake is 2nd on my list :D

Do you happen to have a recipe? They sound intriguing.

After seeing the blog is from you my first thought was "the aperture seems to be too high", then I noticed this is about food in the first place. =P

That chocolate/peanut butter thing looks like a total killer in all kinds of ways tho. <33

If I were back in the UK and into baking / cakes, I would get myself to the Hummingbird bakery and get one of their red velvet cupcakes, my god they are so good. The recipe can be found too.

Other than than, lemon or lime drizzle type cakes are amazing. Looking forward to updates!

Very hungry now, should not have clicked on this link. Those cakes do look lovely though, will we be seeing any step-by-step blogs in the future? Great photos.

Potato Chip Cookies
adapted from Taste of Home “Best Summer Desserts”

1 cup butter
3/4 cup granulated sugar
3/4 cup packed brown sugar
2 eggs
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tsp baking soda
2 cups crushed potato chips
1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
Preheat oven to 375 degrees.

In a large bowl, cream the butter and sugars until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs. Combine the flour and baking soda and slowly add to the creamed sugars. Mix well. Stir in the potato chips and chocolate chips.

Drop by small spoonfuls onto an ungreased baking sheet. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until golden brown. Cool for 1 minute before removing to a wire rack.

I try to use plain (salt) thick cut crinkle cut. As I find these give the best texture at the end. Usually its the cheapest pack on the shelf at Aldi. I also use White Choc Chips now. As i like the flavour more.

The problem I have the most is getting the mixture right to not make them go all flat and smooshy and to retain there shape as cookies. But I think thats just my inexperience and probably my ovens too hot.

I used to think this until I saw all the work that went into creating photoworthy food for magazines and the like. I believe people who do most of that are called food styalists and near 90% of what they make is inedible!

On topic. Cakes look delicious and as someone who loathes baking beyond all belief I would actually be interested in aquiring that coconut sponge cake recipe if you will let me have it. It looks delicious and I love almost universally all things coconut.
