I was skeptical, but it heated back up to 400 and my sausage rolls finished browning. Hooray! I am a culinary genius! But then the baking gods laughed at my hubris.

Bake-Queen
Yes. I’m baking. Again. It really should be no surprise to those who know me. It is the holiday season, after all, and nothing says Holly Jolly Christmas like trying to pull myself out of Seasonal Depression like sweets and gluten.

Ganache Dang It!

For years I've watched him spin spells on The Great British Bakeoff (Baking Show for some of us...... Continue Reading →
