Baking from Scratch

My capstone shows how to make brownies from scratch that mimic the brownies you see in stores. I will show my recipe and ingredients and compare them to the ingredients in the store bought brownies. I researched what all is in the Little Debbie cosmic brownies and made my recipe to match the look of cosmic brownies but with less additives. My brownies were made completely from scratch with fresh ingredients. I am going to provide samples of both my recipe and the store bought recipe. This way people can taste the difference between home made and store bought. I want to show people that making things yourself can be healthier, tastier, and better quality all around. A lot of snack companies like Little Debbie use a lot of preservatives and additives in their products. Those additives are usually unnecessary. I hope to show everyone that making something yourself is rewarding and an experience you can learn from.

Advice Capstone can seem really overwhelming at first, but it's really what you make and take away from it. It is a great way to show your creativity and teach others about something you learned. Definitely start brainstorming ideas because your capstone might change from what you initially thought it would be. Turn in artifacts and try your best to keep up with them. Artifacts don't have to be anything big and they help you keep track of the direction your capstone is going in. Finally have fun with this project and use it as an outlet to unleash your creativity!

How It Began

I started with the idea of showing a tutorial on how to bake something from scratch.

How It Changed

I decided on top of showing how to bake from scratch.I would also compare the ingredients to store bought baked goods which often have a lot more preservatives and additives. I would definitely say things went as planned and the brownies turned out great.

Reflection

This project was my first time making brownies in particular from scratch. I was also modeling my recipe so they would look similar to the cosmic brownies I compared them to. I also learned a lot about ingredients and what all is put in the snack cakes you see in stores. It was very enlightening because it's easy to overlook the additives in stuff we buy because sometimes we aren't even familiar with what they are. Overall, this was a great learning experience for me because baking is something I'm passionate about. I am happy I got to share what I have learned with everyone through this capstone project.
