Hi, I'm Chef Mercedes. I'm a graduate of the French Culinary Institute/International Culinary Center's classic pastry arts program. Currently I do not work in the food industry so I use this blog to share my love of eating and passion for baking with the world. I hope you’ll enjoy what I have to share about baking and that I’ll inspire you to bake as well.

Rum Raisin Cookies
Today was the first day of the petit four unit. I can tell already that this unit is going to be a little tedious, but I think it's also going to be kind of cool. These cookies were a good indication of that: they were a pain to make but really nice to look at and eat. The thing is, you have to pipe each cookie, which is made difficult by the chunks of raisins in the cookies. Plus, once they come out of the oven you have to glaze them. It's totally worth glazing them, it makes them delicious (and is where the rum comes in), but it's another step and there are an awful lot of cookies! It was worth all the tedium, though. The cookies were tender--almost cake-y--and deliciously sweet and rum-y.
