Montreal Cake Show

Assalamualaikum

The Montreal Cake Show was awhile ago.I was extremely excited about it. It was a lot smaller than I thought it would be. Still, there were quite a number of booths selling and array of cake decorations and materials. There is this one booth that sells baking pans and molds at warehouse price.I went cray cray.Legit.Cray cray...Also, I met such a nice couple while looking for black coloring  Since they don't have the brand that I want at that moment, they brought me to closed store and opened it just for me. Inside, it was a Wilton heaven. My eyes were wandering from one wall to the other!They even had stuffs hanging down their ceiling. AMAZEBALLS. So I took my time browsing through heaven. I bought a couple of stuffs and even got a discount because I visited their booth earlier. God bless them.
Here are some of the cakes on display:

Oven "fried" Chicken with Sweet and Spicy Glaze

Assalamualaikum!

Finalllllllyyyyyy done with exams! It felt like FOREVER! Okay..over. I was about to make sugar cookies but then my butter is still cold. SO it’s resting nicely on the heater. LOL! Just to speed up the process. I am one impatient baker!=P

Awhile ago, I had fried/baked chicken cravings! I came across Chef John’s Spicy Orange Chicken Wings and DING! A light bulb on top of my head went on.But then I didn't have marmalade or orange jam in my fridge...oh well..then I came across his other recipe called Clifton Springs Chicken Wings.So I made that instead. Since I wasn't so sure if I’m going to like it or not, I didn't really document the whole process. IT WAS DELISH! I used half of chicken and not just wings. Wings are not exactly my favorite.But nonetheless, I eat so much meat I am practically meatarian.=P
