Lately I've been baking a lot. While I enjoy cooking, baking is definitely where my passion in the kitchen emerges. I'm always willing to try new recipes and techniques. So here are some of my recent adventures plus a fun little story that happened along the way. Also links are at the end of the post for the recipes that inspired me.

| Chocolate Cake with Whipped Cream for Icing and Fruit on top |
This was quite the adventure. Last week when I wanted to try a new baking recipe. I had already gathered all my ingredients and had turned on the oven to preheat it. When I finished mixing everything and was getting ready to put it the pan I realized something was wrong when the stove started to smoke. Now my mom had recently cleaned the kitchen so my first thought she had cleaned the oven wrong somehow. I checked in the oven and found nothing... but the fire underneath the oven seemed a little bigger than it should be. Finally I realized she must have put something underneath the oven that had caught on fire. Sure enough I pulled open the under the stove drawer and found burning plastic and paper cups. I searched around for a fire extinguisher to no avail and eventually just dumped water on it. Once the fire was out I cleaned for another half hour before I could finish baking what I had started. In the end the Lemon Cake bars were worth all the drama.
