Life of a Foreign Hachikin: Recipes

Pineapple Upside Down Cupcakes

The thing about Japan and my love for baking is that, it's really really really difficult to bake when your oven is actually a microwave with an oven setting (also, the whole size thing gets in the way too). I miss the evenness of baking in a full size oven. Back in the US, I didn't have to babysit my baked goods and rotate them every so often. There was enough room in the oven to fully bake every part. However, after many trials and errors, I have finally figured out exactly what my oven wants and can thus competently bake cupcakes, cookies and cakes of all sorts. The following recipes are my successes~
