Genius Hour Presentation #2

For my Genius Hour Project I did baking. But more specifically I focused on Nutella hot chocolate brownie cupcakes. I chose this as my topic because I thought it was  interesting as well as fun to do. I also thought that I could use this opportunity to make a treat for myself.  Although I did not follow all of the steps for the toppings. This is of course with the hazelnuts, marshmallows. I didn’t learn a lot while doing this Genius Hour. One reason is because there was not a lot to learn. As most of the research was just recipes.

One of the reasons this Genius Hour helped me grow as a person is because of the process for this research. Before picking the cupcakes I did research on other foods like eclairs, cakes, and others. So, this kind of helped my knowledge of desserts and foods. As well as how hard it is to make. I am not sure for what my next Genius hour will be, but I am thinking it would help inform people on a environmental or global issue.

The hard part of the process for collecting the information on the cupcake was finding the full recipe. As the original recipe was on Tastemade, it did not have the recipe for the icing. So, I had to go to the maker of the video’s website, The Scran line. I found a more detailed video with the recipe for the frosting. Also, I made some mistakes during this process.One mistake I made was accidentally making 48 cupcakes when the recipe was suppose to make 24. All in all this Genius hour was a fun project.
