The progress I’ve made

I started researching different recipes and reading about some tips and tricks for better finished products. I was suprised to learn how much mascarpone cheese costed as it was almost $16 for 250gram tub. So I decided that I would use a substitute and started looking for ideas. Lots of websites were saying to use a mixture of cream cheese, sour cream, and heavy cream. Then I found out I could make my own mascarpone cheese for much cheaper, it just requires more effort. I rearranged my plan and my first step for the tiramisu is to make the mascarpone cheese. I have not started trying to make things yet as I was sick the past two weeks and didn’t want to make things only I could eat.

Genius Hour Planning

I am going to learn to make everything tiramisu and crème brulee. I will learn to make the original of both and perfect that to start. I am thinking I will make tiramisu cheesecake so for that process I will learn to make cheesecake first before I try to make the specific flavor. I also would like to make crème brulee donuts so I will learn to make donuts first as well. My goal is to be able to make things with the specific flavors of each dessert. I will bring samples of my progression to have other people taste. I am going to be using recipes for these as I do not have the skill to do so without. For supplies I will use baking tools I have at home but will buy ingredients from the store according to what the recipe says.
