Tiramisu. Oh, I’ve made it before. I’ve made it more than once. It is simple, easy and delicious. Tiramisu is a piece of cake when you use store-bought lady fingers, a cream mixture of store-bought mascarpone cheese and sugar, and brewed coffee. This challenge uses nothing store-bought. This challenge is so much more than store-bought. [...]

 Print This PostFirst thing’s first…I cheated. I did not make the graham wafers. I am a terrible person. I promise to make them another time, pinky promise! I just did not have the time. Well, that is only partially true. I could have had the time if I’d actually looked at my January commitments and planned ahead. [...] By CarrieZ |
Print This PostLike most kids do at some point in their lives, I once had a bit of an obsession with fire and burning little objects. It wasn’t a huge deal. I stuck to simple things like notebook paper and tissues. My days of burning things came to an abrupt end when I tried to burn the [...] By CarrieZ |
Print This PostFor years before my sisters starting getting married, having babies and spending Christmas with their in-laws, we made gingerbread houses together. We did all of it: made the gingerbread dough, baked all the pieces, assembled the house, and decorated the house using nothing but edible candies, chocolate, etc. We would spend the days before Christmas, and [...] By CarrieZ |
Print This PostDeep frying food is not something that I do very often, so I was a little weary of this challenge. However, my experiences as a Daring Baker have prepared me for this. I was ready for cannoli! Bring it on. The November 2009 Daring Bakers Challenge was chosen and hosted by Lisa Michele of Parsley, Sage, Desserts [...] By CarrieZ |

She chose macarons from Claudia Fleming’s The Last Course: The Desserts of Gramercy Tavern as the challenge recipe. One of my best memories is eating a traditional French macaron at Harrods in London 12 years ago. A delicate, light, crunchy exterior with a [...] By CarrieZ |
Print This PostOnce again I waited until the very last minute to complete this month’s challenge. What kind of crazy person decides to attempt puff pastry from scratch for the first time with a time constraint? This crazy person, that’s who. The September 2009 Daring Bakers’ challenge was hosted by Steph of A Whisk and a Spoon. She [...] By CarrieZ |
Print This PostThe August 2009 Daring Bakers’ challenge was hosted by Angela of A Spoonful of Sugar and Lorraine of Not Quite Nigella. They chose the spectacular Dobos Torte based on a recipe from Rick Rodgers’ cookbook Kaffeehaus: Exquisite Desserts from the Classic Caffés of Vienna, Budapest, and Prague. This challenge really snuck up on me. I guess I could [...] By CarrieZ |
Print This PostI must admit this, I was not thrilled about this months challenge at first. Don’t get me wrong. I love cookies. Almost all kinds of cookies. I even like when they take all day to make. My issue with this challenge was that I made one of the cookie recipes a few years ago [...] By CarrieZ |
Print This PostI had never heard of this dessert before this Daring Bakers challenge. After reading the recipe I knew it would be delicious. A shortbread-like crust, a layer of jam topped with an almond filling and baked until golden topped with cream. How can this combination NOT be delicious? It was, by the way, delicious. The June Daring [...] |
