Why? The start of a whole new semester with all new students. So twice a year, I sit in a silent classroom - no music or chitchat - and watch my students finish a written final. I do try to incorporate some more hands on components in an attempt to keep the creativity in there which is what I really am 'grading.' However, during this time in education, the written word and the measurable test is the preferred method of verifying that our students have learned anything.Īlthough this is not something I believe really myself, I do give a written final since it is required.
As an art teacher I feel that the best way to determine whether my students have learned anything or retained any knowledge is to see how they apply what they've learned to a creative project. I'm more of a final project kind of person, especially in my subject area. We've hit the mid point of the school year so that means it is time for final exams! If you try them, let me know how they went and what you think may make them better! Enjoy! I'm sure I'm going to tweak it as I go, but not too bad for a first try. I thought they tasted pretty good! The true test will be tomorrow when everyone gets to enjoy them! I took a look at recipes I liked in the past and did some substituting with parts that would make them more margarita-ish.like adding tequila. So I decided to give my own recipe a try. I have nothing against mixes but I personally don't like them because it makes a real soft cake that is hard to frost. Most of them however used boxed cake mix. I thought they would be a fun addition to the event. I searched all over pinterest for some margarita flavored cupcake ideas. Well Easter crept up on all of us this year, so margareaster is falling a little later than normal, but it gave me time to experiment. It involves, you guessed, margaritas and Easter. That push was margareaster.a holiday my family created a few years back that has become a favorite tradition. This has always intimidated me, because although I am great at following directions, I wasn't sure how well I would do figuring out all the measurements to equal a successful cake. It may be the math nerd in me.or maybe I'm just a nerd.Īnyways.I thought it was time that I attempted to create my own recipe.
Going step by step, measuring and somehow creating a delicious treat.I just love it. It sounds silly, but I find a lot of peace in it. There is something very zen about mixing the ingredients and baking them into these sweet little cakes.
