Update 4/3/14

Nothing really noteworthy occurred this week. I've made a couple breads as usual since I wasn't in a hurry. Strawberries are going into season this month so I seized this opportunity to research a number of strawberry recipes; starting with the strawberry muffins from last week and specifically, icebox cakes. Icebox cakes are typically non-bake recipes, usually using custard or cream to soften layers of wafers, resulting in a soft refreshing dessert. This strawberry icebox cake from thekitchn.com caught my eye and I was actually planning on making this for my brother's 24th birthday in May.

I'm excited about making something for my class as a way of showing my final product. Something I wanted to share is the french macaron because they're so easy to make and distribute, but also quite impressive depending on the flavors and components. Or maybe even these miniature icebox cakes from smittenkitchen.com.

So, hopefully, my peers will enjoy their little surprise, especially during the stress of the finals and their presentations.
