I’m going to do my best to make this short and sweet so I can still make the Daring Baker deadline. I put this month’s recipe off out of fear which was silly because it turns out it was pretty easy (a bit time consuming, but easy).
The September 2009 Daring Bakers’ challenge was hosted by Steph of [...]

Here I am, just under the wire yet again.
This a beautiful recipe, chocolate butter cream and roasted hazelnuts, but I had just spent the previous weekend wrapped up in mocha cheesecake, double chocolate cupcakes, and chocolate chip cookies. I just couldn’t face another chocolate dessert. I took advantage of the culinary liberties that the Daring [...]

The April 2009 challenge is hosted by Jenny Bakes. She has chosen Abbey’s Infamous Cheesecake as the challenge.

I love cheesecakes not only because they are one of my favorite things to [...]

The February 2009 challenge is hosted by Wendy of WMPE’s blog and Dharm of Dad ~ Baker & Chef. We have [...]

Key learning from this month’s Daring Bakers‘ challenge – tuiles are hot!
My finger tips really could have benefited from a little fire proofing. The end justified the means and I was rewarded with a delightful little treat.
This month’s challenge is brought to us by Karen of Baking Soda and Zorra of 1x umruehren bitte aka Kochtopf. They [...]
