Where To Get Free Recipes This Baking Season

I have been baking for awhile and I can't get recipes I can keep until I tried Domino Sugar's website. I just thought of checking the websites of the brands I use and I was stuck in there. They have a lot of recipes to share. You can even subscribe to they're newsletter called the Baker's Circle where you can choose to receive recipes, promotions and just about anything related to their brand and of course, baking!

 
So, having all the ingredients at hand, except for the 4th piece of very ripe banana, I was able to finally bake some Banana Nut Bread with the help of my 2-yr old! The recipe, which I linked but would not put here because it's not really mine, is easy to make and follow. It's just that it was meant for a banana loaf, not muffins so I kind of over-cooked it for a few minutes, maybe 5-7minutes. It could have turned more moist but still, they were acceptable. I already liked how it tasted even with one banana missing. It's not that sweet and definitely not dry. I am going to use them again to bring in our Christmas party. Then, I will make sure to

1) Bake it at a lesser time
2) Use the right number of bananas
3) And last but not the least, add more walnuts!

 
 
Just last week, I got an email from Domino Sugar's Baker's Circle showcasing some holiday treats! I am so excited to try them!

DISCLOSURE
I was given a coupon for a free pack of Domino Sugar product. I was not required to do anything in return, this post was made in my own discretion. Everything was based on my 100% honest opinion.

Baking Tip 1

I started baking just a few months ago because I wanted to learn how to make fondant-covered cakes. It's not that hard to do it from scratch as long as you follow the directions in the recipe carefully. And it's not as boring as I thought it is.

I do have the recipe for this blueberry cake but it's not mine and I didn't get the permission to post it yet. I will sure do in my next posts. And hopefully in time, I can make my own recipe. Oh, this excites me the more. I am not an expert (yet) but every time I bake, I learn something to improve on the next time.

The first tip I am going to share is:
USE ONLY THE BEST INGREDIENTS.

Yes, the  ingredients matter, a lottt. I only use the brands I trust starting with sugar. Domino for me offers the quality I need to bake better. I need not sift it, I need not check whether there are tiny black things in it, it's so white it looked like it was bleached. But of course, it wasn't. ;)

Blueberry Cake Prep

I followed the directions carefully, measuring each ingredient perfectly and I sure did not overdo mixing. My very first blueberry cake was great! It was moist with just the right sweetness. I hope I can share a slice just so you can see for yourself. ;)

Yes, I started baking and you know what the worst thing is? I forgot to take a picture of the cake itself. LOL! I already covered it with fondant and you can check it our in my next post. ;)
