Baked Sunday Mornings: Butterscotch Pudding Tarts
Sometimes the second time’s the charm. I was excited to see Butterscotch Pudding Tarts from Baked: New Frontiers in Baking on the Baked Sunday Mornings schedule this week because I had made these years ago and was underwhelmed, and I always meant to try them again but never got around to it. I wish I’d taken notes– I […]
Baked Sunday Mornings: Whiteout Cake
Winter White. There’s something so lovely and elegant about a white-on-white cake– simple, yet sophisticated. What a splendid way to close out 2017 for Baked Sunday Mornings. We haven’t made a layer cake in quite a while, and this Whiteout Cake is the first one we’re tackling from Baked: New Frontiers in Baking. This time of year always […]
Baked Sunday Mornings: Sour Lemon Scones
Among the chocolate, cinnamon, ginger, maple, peppermint, and other wintery flavors around this time of year, I was surprised that Baked Sunday Mornings was making these Sour Lemon Scones from Baked: New Frontiers in Baking this week. To be honest, I was slightly annoyed at first because I am all up in the holiday flavors and I’m not […]
Baked Sunday Mornings: Heartland Turtle Bars
I joined Baked Sunday Mornings in Fall 2012, when the group had already baked through about ⅔ of BAKED’s second book, Baked Explorations. Although I baked most of the remaining recipes, there were quite a lot that I had missed and intended to bake eventually. If you’ve been following, you know that we’ve now baked all the […]
Baked Sunday Mornings: A Trio of Truffles
I love chocolate. I really do. A LOT. But for some reason, chocolate truffles, at best, illicit a lukewarm reaction for me– they are not my preferred chocolate delivery system. And you know what I enjoy even less than eating chocolate truffles? Making chocolate truffles. I admit that I groaned when I saw this week’s […]
Baked Sunday Mornings: Peanut Butter Cookies with Milk Chocolate Chunks
Ah, 2008– a quaint time when I didn’t yet understand that sprinkling salt on baked goods brings out their flavor, and scooping dough before chilling is easier, and letting dough rest in the fridge for a couple of days yields tastier cookies. Fast-forward 9 years, and I now know to incorporate those tricks, whether or […]
Baked Sunday Mornings: Classic Apple Pie
In the Great Life Debate of cake vs. pie, cake pretty much always wins in my book. (Unless there is chocolate and/or caramel in the pie. Then we might have to discuss further.) I will fuss with cake layers, frosting, crumb coat, the decorating turntable, and any other minute details to make every cake as […]
Baked Sunday Mornings: Banana Cupcakes with Vanilla Pastry Cream
My feelings about bananas are not a secret… suffice it to say, I’m not a fan. I’ve largely come around when it comes to banana baked goods, and that is a good thing. How sad would it be if I was missing out on stuff like banana bread and banana cake?! Let’s not even entertain […]
Baked Sunday Mornings: Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Loaf
Today is a special baking day. My baking-blogging group, Baked Sunday Mornings, has just wrapped three years of working our way through all 75 recipes in Baked Occasions, the 4th cookbook from BAKED in New York City. We are now going old-school and taking it back to Baked: New Frontiers in Baking, the very first book published […]
Baked Sunday Mornings: Peppermint Chocolate Chip Meringues
Guys, I did it. Baked Sunday Mornings is making our very last recipe from Baked Occasions, and I have baked every single one; this is the first cookbook that I have ever baked through 100%. I feel such a fondness for this book, because our group was with it from the very beginning as recipe testers […]
