Ideas?

Hi everyone!
So... I am looking for ideas for my youtube cooking show. I have already decided that the first show will feature my caramel meringues, chocolate drops, and chocolate truffles. I will probably make mint truffles and orange chocolate drops.The way to flavor chocolate truffles is by infusing the cream before making ganache (I will explain how to do this in the show). When I was in my baking class, Chef Diana infused cream with Earl Grey Tea, which actually tasted quite good. Please let me know if you have any other flavors you would like me to try. You can comment here or email me at sweettreatschef@gmail.com.
 I am also thinking about having a show focused on cookies, including my famous chocolate chip cookies, so please share any favorite cookie recipes or ideas you may have. If anyone has a favorite recipe, send it and maybe you can be a guest on the show and demonstrate it (if you live in the Longmont area). 
Also, I am looking for a good video camera I can use and maybe a small clip-on microphone. I have a camera that will work, but it would be nice to be able to borrow another one so I can do shots from multiple angles. 
I'm so excited about trying this show out. I don't even know if it will work or if anyone will watch it or read this blog, but I'm going to try it anyway. Like I said in the first blog, I should have the first episode in about 3 weeks so check back then at www.youtube.com/sweettreatschef. I can't wait!

Welcome!

Hi! Welcome to my blog! I have never written a blog before so here goes...
My name is Elizabeth. I am a student at Colorado Mesa University, majoring in culinary arts. My dream is to become a pastry chef and open my own bakeshop. I love to bake many different things. This blog is meant to be the companion blog to my youtube.com cooking show called "Sweet Treats and Delectable Eats" which can be found at www.youtube.com/sweettreatschef. I will post recipes, instructions, and photos here. I am planning to make the first episode as soon as I return home from school, and I will try to upload it as soon as I can. You can expect the first episode in about three weeks so check back then! The first episode will probably include recipes for caramel meringues, chocolate drops, and chocolate truffles, so, if you want to learn how to make those things, be sure to watch. Also, if you have any ideas for recipes or things you want me to make, you can email me at: sweettreatschef@gmail.com.
