I really like having friends over for dinner or having full on parties. But what mostly trips me up is dessert! I focus so much on the main meal that the dessert becomes an after thought. I can make a simple cake like a pound cake or a pie. Let me tell you what I can do even better! #SHOP... I can go to a bakery or grocery store and pick up the tastiest looking pastry. To make it my own, I'll add a homemade whipped cream.
Making your own whipped cream doesn't take many ingredients or time. But it does take a little thought. You must make sure that all your ingredients including the mixing bowl and whisk are cold. Just pop them into the fridge for about 30 minutes to make sure that everything is chilled before you get started. (That's the secret ingredient).
