Nov 11 Stephanie's Cherry Coke Cupcakes

I made Cherry Coke cupcakes at the Write to Cook because they’re easy to do and fun to make with friends, and they taste delicious. I think that everyone enjoyed my Cherry Coke Cupcakes although I had to fend off everyone who wanted to drink the Cherry Coke. It was fun. I think adding Coke to any cupcake is a good idea because it makes the cupcakes fluffier. I first I wasn’t sure if I could make cupcakes, yet alone Cherry Coke cupcakes because I have never directed a group before. I was nervous when we started but I got more confident as we cooked.

Stephanie Hardy

My name is Stephanie Hardy and I am 11 years old. I like to do art, and cook. I am still new to cooking but I know it runs in my blood. My great grandmother, who is 96, started working at The Spot Restaurant when she was 14. She stopped working there in her 80’s when she lost her leg to diabetes. My Nanna studied cooking at The Bermuda College and went on to work at The Princess Hotel. She is the one that got me interested in cooking. Me and my Nanna used to cook pancakes together. I have an insane love for animals. I have two dogs. One is called Venus and the other is called Sammi. My aunt lives in Switzerland. I like European food like rosti and fresh Italian pasta.
