    Silver Cupcakes

    Strawberry Cookies (with Strawberry icing)

    Happy baking!

    Week 24 - Seasonal ingredients: Many berry pie with rosemary lemon ice cream
  • This looks amazing. Rosemary is literally the only plant I can grow because it requires no work whatsoever.

  • The truth...
  • The problem is that people can map fictional resistance movements onto opposite real life parties. In my college poli Sci class, both I (a known lefty) and the most conservative guy in class excitedly supported the idea of showing V for Vendetta. I guarantee the January 6 guys thought they were in an underdog resistance movement.

    Week 24: Seasonal Ingredient 2

    Original reddit post

    Hi bakers! This week marks our second seasonal ingredients challenge. Showcase something that is in season where you live (or, barring that, something that is themed on the season it is where you live). If you're not sure what's in season where you are there are tons of resources online, or you might even hit a local farmer's market and choose something!

    For example,,,

    Simple Cherry Cake - Using fresh cherries which are currently in season in New York

    Easy Kiwi Tart - Kiwi is in season in New Zealand

    Lychee Baked Yogurt - Lychee (aka litchi) is in season in India now

    Week 23: Celebration of Life - Tollhouse Cookies RIP Grandma

    I just read that the original tollhouse recipe from the 70s had water in it, so I added some. Presumably that's the way Grandma would have been accustomed to them. Mom said these were one of her faves.

    Week 23: Celebration of Life

    Original reddit post

    Hi bakers! This week's challenge is Celebration of Life, where we celebrate the life of a loved one by making something they love/d. This can be for someone who has or has not passed on. We'd love to hear about your relationship to this person and why you chose to make what you did.

    Ordinarily I would post a few sample recipes here, but given that this is something so personal, I will forgo that this week.

    Happy baking!

    Week 22: Intro & Weekly Discussion - Flatbread

    Original reddit post

    Flatbreads are, shockingly, quite flat and thin. They are usually unleavened (no yeast or rising agents), although there are some exceptions like pita. They alsp typically do not use rich ingredients like butter or eggs.

    Quick to make, healthy to eat, they can be a great side to soak up sauce, pick up a dip or sandwich some meat / veggies. Since they are thin, they can be made on a griddle or grill instead of an oven.

    There are a variety of flatbreads across cultures. Try pita and for bonus points make gyros. Or make some naan on a skillet - and discover how easy and tasty a base for pizza it can be.

    For something richer and more substantial, try these flaky scallion pancakes

    Let us know what you'll be making this week and what you're going to pair it with for a full meal.

    I made the mistake of not trying these when they were fresh. My mom did and thought they were great. I did not enjoy the following morning.

    Week 21 Intro and Weekly Discussion: Inspired by Nature

    Original reddit post

    This is another of those creative weeks. The sky's the limit on what you can bake, and extra points if it looks like the sky!

    You can try focaccia art of flowers. Or cupcakes decorated with piped roses. Use dried flowers or herbs to decorate a cake. Make a chocolate mud pie with gummy worms. A galaxy cake to celebrate the night sky or the Northern lights.

    It's spring in the northern hemisphere, a walk on a nature trail or a trip to the beach may bring unexpected inspiration. Good luck with whatever you choose to bring to life!

    Week 20: Showstopper - Swedish Princess Cake (fail)

    Recipe

    Made for eurovision, and it was a fail in every way. The cake was top flat to cut in 3 layers, the custard never set, and, as you can see, the marzipan cracked apart.

    Week 19 Intro and Weekly Discussion: Mexico

    Original Reddit post

    This weekend is Cinco De Mayo - so perfect timing to celebrate the cuisine of Mexico. (At least that's what us Americans believe. This may well be one of those immigrant holidays that are more celebrated in the US than in the country of origin).

    There is the iconic Tres Leches cake.

    Or chocoflan.

    And of course churros.

    For something a little lighter try Conchas or Bolillo. Or Gorditas.

    Whatever you make, consider pairing it with a good tequila for best effect :)

    Weeks 17 and 18: Sugar Work and Tropical Flavors - Coconut Cake with Maple Candy

    Einkorn cake recipe

    This cake is delicious. If you're not big on overly sweet desserts, I recommend it. And if it's not sweet enough, a dusting of crumbled maple candy helps.

    Week 17 Intro and Weekly Discussion: Caramel or Sugar Work

    Original reddit post

    Hello everyone! For week 17, we’re working with candied sugar and caramel creations. For this week, you could opt to make any sort of sugar-based decoration for a bake, like homemade marshmallows for these s’mores cupcakes, homemade honeycomb toffee for this salted caramel cake, or an elegant spun sugar decoration for a variety of different recipes. Or, you could choose to make a recipe incorporating homemade caramel or sugar confections, like this caramel-syrup-topped flan, these peanut brittle cookies, or these salted caramel brownies.

    If you’re looking for some handy references, here’s a guide to each of the stages of cooked sugar: https://www.theflavorbender.com/cooked-sugar-stages-candy-temperature-chart/, and if you’re interested in using isomalt instead, here’s a reference on what it is, and how to work with it: https://www.webstaurantstore.com/blog/3588/what-is-isomalt.html

    Happy baking!
