This article is written by a student writer from the Spoon University at Maryland chapter.

I remember having to make a “How To” video back in 5th grade to show my class how to do something. I chose to demonstrate making this dessert. If I could find the home video I would probably try to post it because watching a 10-year-old wearing a fake hair piece act like she knows how to bake gourmet desserts would be quite entertaining.

So anyway, I went back to my 10-year-old roots and remade this slab of deliciousness with one of my BFFs who is just as obsessed with food as me. Felt like the good ol’ days again.
