I don't even know of 12 new things that I want to bake.

Macarons have been on my mind lately for some reason, probably because there's a game I play where they have macarons sometimes. I could make macarons. My mom says I should just buy some first to find out if I even like them, but it turns out that the grocery store has strange flavored ones. So that seems to leave me with making my own if I don't want to spend $8 to have a dozen odd-flavored frozen macarons.

A really good cinnamon roll would be nice. The refrigerated tube ones are never particularly tasty. I actually found that Hostess's shelf-stable cinnamon rolls are good. But considering how much I like cinnamon rolls, I could apply myself & bake my own.

So I guess that leaves me with what are 10 other things that a nearly 30 year old woman should be able to bake.

1. Chocolate Cake or Lava Cake (requires ramekins)

2. Crescent Rolls https://www.tasteofhome.com/collection/grandma-s-best-baking-recipes/

3. Baked Apple Pudding https://www.tasteofhome.com/collection/grandma-s-best-baking-recipes/

4. Hot Cross Buns

5. Almond Brittle

6. Hot Chocolate Cookies

7. Blueberry Muffins with Crumb Topping https://www.foodandwine.com/cooking-techniques/baking/beginner-baking-recipes?slide=1306065#1306065

8. German Chocolate Cake https://www.foodandwine.com/cooking-techniques/baking/beginner-baking-recipes?slide=1306083#1306083

9. Homemade s'mores with homemade Graham crackers & homemade marshmallows.
