Apple Cake
My local library has a cookbook club. They used to meet evenings and I had only been to one before they switched to days when I was at work and couldn’t go. As luck would have it I was off work yesterday and they were having a cookbook club meeting. The theme was apples, so I made apple cake. I had made one from a community cookbook long ago. I no longer remember which one, so I looked online. I found this recipe. https://tastesbetterfromscratch.com/fresh-apple-cake/
I used 5 apples instead of 6. I first put together the wet ingredients, then grated the apples and put them in the batter. It doesn’t say to sift the dry ingredients but I did anyway. This recipe is so easy. The hardest part is grating the apples and even that isn’t hard. The recipe also includes instructions for homemade caramel sauce. I just simply bought the squeeze bottle kind. This cake is so moist and delicious it doesn’t really need the added caramel.
Candy corn project and other updates
I have knit a candy corn hat and made candy corn earrings. Why? I have started collecting unusual candy corns and I plan on doing a series of short videos taste testing them. I generally prefer long format videos, but the short video format is perfect for this. The videos on YouTube doing the same thing are way too long. I will probably post them to TikTok, YouTube, and Instagram. So far the candy corn I have is Funfetti, Nerds, Tailgate, and somewhere in my place is the Taco Truck ones. I still have yet to get a hold of the Thanksgiving Dinner one. What other ones should I try? Maybe in spring I will do some Peep stuff even though they seem to be out for all the holidays now, but I associate them with spring/Easter.

I am Jsunrain on TikTok if you the QR code doesn’t work for you.
I am a little timid about this. My preference would be to be behind the camera, but you need to see my face as I try the hot dog flavored candy corn. Should be interesting. I am looking forward to it! I hope to start posting videos no later than early October but I might start posting them sooner than that.
In general I want to start trying my hand at doing videos. I need to learn thumbnails and video editing. Most videos will likely be cooking of some sort, but where I currently live isn’t easily set up for that. May also do crafts and maybe even poetry readings. My goal is not monetization. This would be a hobby much like my knitting. Something fun and different outside of work hours. What things do you want to see?
