9. Make a dessert for friends and family.
My brother and I decided to make crepes. We decided on this recipe:
It wasn't the simplest recipe to choose because it has three parts to it (the crepe, a filling, and a chocolate ganache sauce). It also had a few things we had never heard of before, like mascarpone cheese (which turned out to be a light, fluffy, and sweet cheese used to enhance the filling).
 |
| Because it was red velvet, our batter turned out bright pink. The crepes themselves were the correct red color. |
Admittedly, our first attempts went poorly. My brother Kevin described as a trial and error task that was "more error than trial."
 |
| This was our first crepe. To say it went poorly may be an understatement. |
 |
| Our second attempt didn't go much better. |
After two failed attempts, we headed to Bed Bath and Beyond to get the supplies we realized we couldn't succeed without: a non-stick pan and a no-stick skillet.
 |
The chocolate ganache sauce.
|
 |
| My dad decided to really over-chocolate the crepe. |
But after we had the right materials and made a few mistakes, we were successful. My brother mastered the ability to flip the crepes while I made the ganache sauce, rolled and filled the crepes, and poured confectionary sugar over the cooled crepes.
