Welcome to 2023, Friends and Fellow Bakers! What a time to be alive! My new year is off to a quiet start (in a good way) and I am happy to be getting back into things here at Baking Summit. Longtime readers may recall my commentary about the severely Eurocentric nature of seasons 1 – […]

Hello and Happy New Year, Friends and Fellow Bakers! Here I am squeezing this in just under the wire in my effort to do at least one post per month (#technicallyontime). Go me. Today I am talking about Portuguese custard tarts, which are one of my most favourite pastries to eat.  I remember clearly watching […]

Why hello there, Friends and Fellow Bakers! It is finally time to discuss the first ever CARAMEL week on GCBS. Caramel is much like meringue in the sense that it is a true delicacy: every good baker has to be able to do it and no matter how many times you practice, it’s terrifying EVERY […]

Here we are, Friends and Fellow Bakers! I can’t believe it, this post marks the second-last technical bake I have to do from Seasons 1 – 4 of GCBS! Crazy town! This slow meander to the finish line that I am on is a bit of a wind down. I had left these off the […]

Hello and welcome back, Friends and Fellow Bakers! I can not believe it, now that I have completed this bake, we only have TWO more Technicals to go before I have accomplished my goal of executing all of the Seasons 1 – 4 technical bakes in one year! Amazing stuff! I look forward to sharing […]

Well, well, well here we are again, Friends and Fellow Bakers! I took a little break after my Christmas breads because making 12 breads in 9 days and then posting 12 days in a row was a lot of work. Now it is a crazy snow day and I am ready to get back to […]
