November Daring Bakers….Sweet!

For November the Daring Bakers assignment was a caramel cake with caramel frosting.  The catch was the perfect, homemade caramel syrup.

Daring Bakers Challenge for September

 
I can’t believe how quickly the months go by..It seems like I live from Daring Bakers Reveal  to Daring Bakers Reveal with no time in between.  It sort of feels like the movie, Groundhog Day.
This months’ challenge was unusual in both the recipe and the freedom that we had to flavor the challenge item any […]

Daring Bakers August Challenge:Eclairs!

If anyone could have tried to pick a challenge that would send me running for valerian and st. john’s wort they couldn’t have picked a better one than this.  I have spent 28 years of marriage trying to compete with my mother-in-law’s eclairs and have failed miserably over and over and over….

Here It is…Daring Bakers Challenge..and WHAT a Challenge!

 
This one was a challenge!
First, I have to say how much I appreciate being part of the Daring Bakers.  I definitely get out of my comfort zone a lot and bake things I would not normally bake.  The ingredients can sometimes be pricey (this challenge cost me over $20.00) but I can usually plan ahead […]

Was it worth the fuss and bother?
Oh YEAH!

Danish […]

Daring Bakers April Challenge: Cheesecake Pops

 
This was certainly a fun challenge. Little, 2 oz bites of cheesecake on a stick, dipped in chocolate and sprinkled with anything wonderful your heart could possibly desire. Some of the things I thought of (but did not necessarily have the ingredients for) are

Saturday Surfing

I love finding old cookbooks at thrift shops. The one pictured is the Rumford Complete Cookbook from 1943. Cost was, as I recall, one dollar but the value is priceless. I love paging through and reading the recipe notes penciled in so carefully by someone long ago.

Daring Bakers Challenge Recipe: Lemon Meringue Pie

This months challenge was Lemon Meringue Pie. YUM!
Lemon Meringue is one of Marc’s favorites. This was a fun challenge and because it was a challenge I took the extra time to pipe the meringue. Sorry to say that by the time I realized MOST of my pictures were blurry the pie was LONG […]
