What did you bake today ? OK if not from scratch

Made a blueberry pie yesterday!

Good job! I love the way it looks without the icing!

I know. I was torn if I should even frost it! I thought it could also be a Captain America cake without dragging the toothpick through.

I want to do this with different colors like this tie-dye cake.

What if you cut it in half and frosted the middle? Like a frosting sandwich. Same amount of icing, but cool fireworks on top. You could add one of those glazes that is clear on top if you want more of a finished look.

1. Fun
2a.Garlic, salt, pepper, rosemary, butter, steak into ziploc. Dip into water to get air out, zip.
2b. Set to proscribed 129F for medium rare x 1hr
2c. Hand bags of anemic meat to searer-in-chief, with plate.
3. No complaints. Came out exactly medium rare as predicted. Saw it at Sam’s Club for $150. Been shopping around a bit. It’s a decent deal since it comes with the tank and stuff. Looking forward to trying cookies and egg bites.

DGD made her first pizza yesterday.
Put the dough ingredients into the bread machine after lunch and then later, rolled the dough out, sauced it and cheesed it, baked it and ate it for dinner.

My BFF and I teamed up to cater a "drive-by wedding" for the daughter of another of our dear friends yesterday. We baked practically everything imaginable! I did the wedding cake myself, which they cut and served, and we split the rest of the list: an apple pie, two cheesecakes (berry swirl and chocolate glazed), profiteroles, lemon trifle, pecan caramel brownies, a beautiful jelly mold and fruit salad. It was an impressive spread and everything turned out perfectly but due to Covid restrictions, the tiny crowd only made a dent in it. The newlyweds will be living on nothing but love and dessert for quite a while.

America's Test Kitchen Snickerdoodle cookies!!!

Its a pretty easy recipe. Longest part is rolling the cookie dough balls in the cinnamon and sugar. Recipe made 48 cookies with the cookie scoop I used. Recipe said it would make 24 but they must have a had a much larger scoop than I did.

No. Due to our Covid restrictions, BFF and I couldn’t actually go to the gathering - it’s a maximum of 10 people outdoors only. We delivered everything and then left them to it. I’m cross with myself because I didn’t even take a picture of the cake, which I always do. I’m sure the bride’s mom took pictures and will share them with us in due course, after she’s recovered a little.

It’s crazy how much planning, detail and just plain hard work goes into all these creative, out-of-the-box pandemic events that are happening, trying to have a great and memorable experience without violating any rules. I’ve been involved in quite a few over the past 16 months. So much easier to just write a cheque and roll up to a venue with everything catered.

Healthy summer treat

I just realized she was a Disney movie actress too. That’s cool.

No baking today. Yesterday was DH's birthday and late Saturday night after he went to bed I made fudge brownies from scratch for his favorite treat - a brownie sundae with vanilla ice cream, sweetened, crushed raspberries and hot fudge sauce. I baked them in one of my new flower-shaped silicone molds to fancy it up a little and they slipped out of the pan perfectly and looked really nice dusted with icing sugar.
