So, birthday over. Was my first time baking brownies - from scratch! Haha pakshet ang mahal pala. And whoa, didn't realize the sugar content for these pastries are high. Mas marami pa pala ang asukal sa flour! Mygahd the unhealthiness... if I do this as a hobby gulay tataba talaga ako. I'm happy though that it turned out edible! Haha ok it was more than that, they were actually quite good once the brownies have settled. Chewy yung crust sides niya which I liked. Cream cheese swirl was a fail, dapat talaga as frosting nalang yun; nanay said the cream cheese part tasted like puto haha. Anyway, mas masarap pa yung parts na walang cream cheese :)) Ohwell at least it's highly edible lels and I did not burn down the kitchen yay~! Though next time I'll probably just spend my 500 on Purple Oven's lemon square bars, now those are delicious. Mmm. 

Here's the recipe I followed: Red Velvet Cream Cheese Swirl Brownies

It did not look as good as that; fail ang swirling ko and I don't have sprinkles. Anyhooo this recipe made 32  2"x3" rectangles for me.

Not a bad new-thing-to-do. I'm so thankful that I have a friend with a kitchen I can borrow! To more - healthy - baking!
