Birthday Pie!
Maybe I should start baking my way through the Pie and Pastry Bible, when I finish Rose’s Heavenly Cakes.

Open-faced Double Strawberry Pie
Wednesday, June 29th, 2011Red Fruit Shortcake
Monday, June 27th, 2011This week, the heavenly cake bakers catch-up group is making the red fruit shortcake. I can kind of see where Mendy’s coming from when he says this isn’t much of a challenge, since it’s a genoise from another recipe, topped with fruit, and maybe some meringues crisps or whipped dairy of some sort. That being said, I made it anyway, since I have lots of strawberries in my garden, just looking for an excuse to be used. Plus, my shed’s finally finished, so I don’t have that as an excuse not to bake any more.

Mud Turtle Cupcakes
Tuesday, June 21st, 2011Just a quick post with a link to my mud turtle cupcakes from back in February. No time to bake this weekend, as my immediate family was up from NB visiting my grandparents, so I headed out there for a visit, since otherwise I wouldn’t have seen them this trip. I was also busy filling my shed with gardening tools. Pictures of that and updates on the gardens coming soon.
Chocolate Butter Cupcakes
Monday, June 13th, 2011It’s free choice time with the Heavenly Cake Bakers catch-up group. This week I decided on Chocolate cupcakes, with the golden neoclassic buttercream. One of my teammates at work mentioned something related to cupcakes on Friday, so I figured that would be a good choice for something to bring in to work on Monday (today). The buttercream was chosen because I ran into the Lyle’s golden syrup at the grocery store a little while back, and I haven’t had a good opportunity to try out the golden neoclassic buttercream since purchasing it. I’ve always just used corn syrup.
Let’s bake!
Swedish Pear and Almond Cream Cake
Monday, June 6th, 2011Just a quick note to give my fellow heavenly cake bakers the link to my Swedish pear and almond cream cake, from last fall. I skipped baking this weekend, since there’s a free choice coming up, and I spent much of the weekend up a ladder or on a roof, working on finishing up the main components of our shed. I did my first roofing job!
