Imagine my pleasant surprise when I read this introduction to this month’s Daring Baker’s Challenge:
“This month’s challenge is brought to us by the adventurous Hilda from Saffron and Blueberry and Marion from Il en Faut Peu Pour Etre Heureux. They have chosen a French Yule Log by Flore from Florilege Gourmand.”
Why the pleasant [...]

… or, as I call it, my first Daring Bakers Debacle.
Nothing about this worked for me this month (Dan has a differing opinion, which is that the taste worked out but that the texture was weird). In either case, I felt that I could not serve this to the guests to whom I had [...]

I’ve written before about my love for homemade pizza. Pizza out at a restaurant? No thank you? Pizza made in your kitchen? Yes, please. Make sure there is plenty, and – this is important – stand back and watch as any semblance of self restraint falls away and I eat my [...]

This month I did not procrastinate on my Daring Bakers challenge.
I actually had an occasion early on in the month to make this fancy pants cake for friends, who all gave this recipe their very enthusiastic two thumbs up. Finally – I can swipe my hand across my forehead in happy relief that I [...]

This month’s challenge involved crafting a puff pastry that incorporated a block of butter. This is yet another DB challenge that will be chalked up to the list of things I never, ever would have attempted to make due to the recipe’s most decidedly non-vegan attitude and sneer had it not been for [...]

This month’s Daring Bakers challenge was a L’Opera Cake, which features a cake made with 6 egg whites and 6 whole eggs. *Sigh* Daring Bakers, what are you trying to do to me? Make me throw my vegan lovin’ hands up in frustration and cry “Woe is me!”?
Ha! Not this gal. [...]

I return to you red-faced and ashamed. Several weeks have gone by with nary a peep from the Outpost, and yet another day would have passed with no updates had I not at the last minute remembered that today is the posting day for the April Daring Bakers challenge. Happily, I have been scheming and [...]

Another month, another Daring Bakers challenge. This month’s challenge was cake and, due to a hectic work schedule and then vacation (woo-hoo!) it came down to the wire for me this month and I baked this up at the last minute, unfortunately with no real reason for having a cake on hand. That [...]

This month I’ve joined the renegade web-based baking group known as the Daring Bakers, and my first official challenge was French Bread. When I read “Bread” in the title of the challenge post, I though “how challenging can this be?” Then I scrolled through the 14 page (12 point font!) Julia Child recipe [...]
