Cook the Book: 'The Modern Baker'

What was your biggest baking disaster or your biggest success?

I'll give you one of each. The disaster was last Christmas day when I decided, against my better judgement, to overfill a 9x13 pan with sticky buns. I had never made this recipe before, though I have made sticky buns several times, and decided to just trust the recipe (it had been scaled down from a restaurant). It was a total disaster - the pan was way too full and I forgot to put a baking sheet under it to catch any overflow. So, not only did the sticky buns not bake all the way, but the goo overflowed all over the oven and caught fire (gas oven) down in the bottom tray where the flames are. So, I spent the rest of Christmas day scraping out the burned sugar "shelack" that now coated the bottom of my oven (oh, and I had to actually unscrew and take the oven apart to accomplish this). Merry Christmas to me!

Best experience was making and decorating three wedding cakes for my best friend's wedding. Though we only decorated three huge cakes (fresh flowers, chocolate leaves, chocolate curls, etc) we actually made 14 cakes to serve the 350+ guests. It was an amazing experience and absolutely crazy - but being able to give our friends what they really wanted was the best present of all!

Cook the Book: 'Sweety Pies'

The most memorable pie for me would probably have to be when I first got to have a piece of chocolate cream pie at Thanksgiving. I had been allergic to dairy and finally outgrew it. I was thrilled to get to finally get to try it!

Baking With Dorie: TV Snacks, French-Style

These sound so good to me! I'm thinking they would be good with a drizzle of dark chocolate. (I try to sneak it into whatever I can too!). Yum!!

Cook the Book: Nigella Express

I buy aluminum pans at our local restaurant supply store and make large batches of meals that can be frozen, that way I can just pop one into the oven when there is no time to prep.

Banana Cake Big and Small

I am making these today because I know it will be good (and I have 4 over-ripe bananas languishing). Thanks for all the wonderful recipes!

Baking With Dorie: TV Snacks, French-Style

These sound very much like the crackers my mother used to make in her little oven more than 40 years ago. That was in Turkey. She also used to make a wonderful olive oil and yogurt cake. Funny!
