Cooking Lessons and Food Styling

Okay, so I began taking this cooking lessons at a small cooking school near home. 

Up until now, I hadn't been particularly proud of anything I had made (given that I am still in basic cooking course) but today I was stunned. 

I styled this by myself n.n I loved it!

I'm sorry the pics don't look better but I took this with my mobile, so... 

Let me know what you think? 

Cinnamon Rolls!

I have two words for this cinnamon roll recipe. 

Ultra Divine! 

I might have forgotten to add the eggs the recipe call for and burned the first batch, but my goodness! The second batch was sublime! 

Fresh from the oven. 

I found the recipe in foodgawker of course! (Who still won't accept any picture I try to post...) but that doesn't keep me from gawking at the delicious pictures other users post. 

This particular recipe comes from foodblogger: http://sweetapolita.com

Whom I give full credit for today's success!

Her instructions were easy to follow, and I must stress how brilliant her explanation for the frosting was! 

Of course, being the person that I am... I changed this up a bit when I decided to make the rolls. 

First off, I didn't add eggs  (2 eggs) not because I didn't want to, but because I forgot! 

This didn't seem to disrupt the recipe nor the taste. 

Second thing I changed was the time I allowed the dough to rise, which was less than an hour... 

And I added a little more time for the second rise (about 15 minutes)

For the frosting I reduced the time of beating, because I just couldn't wait to try them! And I added Vanilla beans instead of vanilla essence and Lemon zest instead of vanilla flavour. 

I think it works great.
