Daring Bakers: Chocolate Pavlovas with White Chocolate Mousse and Strawberries

The June 2010 Daring Bakers’ challenge was hosted by Dawn of Doable and Delicious. Dawn challenged the Daring Bakers’ to make Chocolate Pavlovas and Chocolate Mascarpone Mousse. The challenge recipe is based on a recipe from the book Chocolate Epiphany by Francois Payard. Originally, this recipe didn’t sound summery enough to me. Chocolate upon chocolate [...]

Daring Bakers: Orange Tian

This orange tian was not one of the prettiest desserts to ever come out of my kitchen, but it was one of the most refreshing and tastiest. The 2010 March Daring Baker’s challenge was hosted by Jennifer of Chocolate Shavings. She chose Orange Tian as the challenge for this month, a dessert based on a [...]

Daring Bakers: Tiramisu

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. [...]

Daring Bakers: Nanaimo Bars

First 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. [...]

Gingerbread House Demolition

Like 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 [...]

Daring Bakers: Gingerbread House

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 [...]

Daring Bakers: I took the Cannoli

Deep 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, [...]

Daring Bakers: Macarons

The 2009 October Daring Bakers’ challenge was brought to us by Ami S. 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 [...]

Daring Bakers: Puff Pastry

Once 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. [...]

Daring Bakers: Dobos Torte

The 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 [...]
