Week 12: The final week!5/19/2024 This was the last week of my 12-week project and I am satisfied and proud of my results. This was my fourth and last attempt at making the Starbucks cake pops. Compared to the first attempt I had a huge improvement. I am glad that my little failures didn't provoke me to give up. I discovered a new hobby that I enjoy doing in my free time. Baking has helped me when I am stressed out or even to take my mind off things.
I used the same ingredients and steps from my third attempt. The difference with this week was that I added less powdered sugar in the stand mixer when I added the cake mix after it was baked. The powdered sugar made it moist and sweet. In the past, I tried using cream cheese to mix it all but it just made it runny. I found many different techniques on Pinterest and Instagram that have helped me with my improvement. These techniques included adding powdered sugar instead of cream cheese, using a stand mixer instead of your hands, and melting the chocolate melts in a glass jar instead of a bowl. 12 weeks was the right amount of time for this project. It gave me time to plan and prepare what I wanted my project to focus on. If we had even a couple of weeks less my results would not be as good as they are. What I liked about my project was that even if one week we were stressed about that week that was what we could talk about in our blogs. It didn't always have to consist of doing our project. I would do this project all over again if I had to choose. I learned many techniques and skills I thought I never had in just 12 weeks. I will continue to bake in my free time and continue to learn more about the kitchen.
