There's No Crying in Pastry: February 2012
http://theresnocryinginpastry.blogspot.com/2012_02_01_archive.html
Sunday, February 26, 2012. Coconut layer cake and lemon layer cake. Magazine had a stellar article and set of recipes from Ben Mims about Southern layer cakes. The photos were spectacular- -I bought the magazine in the first place because of the giant wedge of red velvet cake on the cover. I intend to bake each of the five recipes, so I started this weekend with the two that looked most intriguing to me. Sunday, February 19, 2012. What you'll be eating in 2013. Chocolate almond ice cream cake. So stay tu...

There's No Crying in Pastry: December 2011
http://theresnocryinginpastry.blogspot.com/2011_12_01_archive.html
Monday, December 26, 2011. Christmas cake and Christmas pup. Christmas cake: chocolate cake with vanilla buttercream. For Christmas, I got to make a baby's first Christmas cake for a very special baby, Sydney Mae. I decided to make another giant red bow because I'm really loving how my bows are looking lately. I like to make them hugely puffy (a quality, in truth, that's only desirable in a bow). Saturday, December 17, 2011. First birthday cake with vanilla cake and nutella buttercream. Anthony and I dec...

There's No Crying in Pastry: July 2011
http://theresnocryinginpastry.blogspot.com/2011_07_01_archive.html
Sunday, July 31, 2011. Sour cream ice cream with blueberry swirl. The blueberry swirl is nothing more than a quick and dirty version of a jam. Feel free to use any summer fruit you have a surplus of. This recipe would be equally delicious with peaches or cherries. If you use cherries, throw in a BAY LEAF while it cooks. Trust me. You'll love it. I cackled with delight. A new recipe! In a bundt pan! A baking trifecta if I do say so myself. Sour cream ice cream with blueberry swirl. 380 mL whole milk.

There's No Crying in Pastry: here kitty, kitty
http://theresnocryinginpastry.blogspot.com/2012/06/here-kitty-kitty.html
Saturday, June 30, 2012. Here kitty, kitty. Vanilla cake with vanilla buttercream and strawberry jam. A cake for a very "girly-girl", as her mom put it. This cake was for Elizabeth who is graduating today. Her mom cuts Chris's hair at Aire Salon. Here in Jersey City- -a wonderful salon run by the enormously talented duo, Aiko and Racheal. For including such salacious details. Check out the Layers NYC facebook page. He's an airbrush hog, so this was a treat. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

There's No Crying in Pastry: there's nothing like Australia
http://theresnocryinginpastry.blogspot.com/2012/06/theres-nothing-like-australia.html
Saturday, June 2, 2012. There's nothing like Australia. I would love to move to Sydney. It's just gorgeous- -filled with parks and surrounded by water. The downtown area is all walkable and the outlying areas are connected by easy-to-navigate public transportation and a nifty ferry system. Becasse was located in a kick-ass mall in Sydney CBD. The mall had a myriad of mouth-watering options in their beautifully designed food court, as well as all the high-end shopping a girl could wish for. The ba...Secur...

There's No Crying in Pastry: pounds and pounds of butter
http://theresnocryinginpastry.blogspot.com/2012/06/pounds-and-pounds-of-butter.html
Sunday, June 24, 2012. Pounds and pounds of butter. Vanilla cake with chocolate buttercream. We don't get a lot of requests for chocolate buttercream so I haven't tasted it in a while. I'd forgotten how DELICIOUS something as simple as chocolate buttercream can be. I highly recommend it. We put in 3/4's of a pound of 55% chocolate in there so it was intensely chocolatey. We Ron-Ben'ed this baby. This is now a phrase by the way. To a blog that details the process. It's amazing. I'm still reeling from the ...

There's No Crying in Pastry: September 2011
http://theresnocryinginpastry.blogspot.com/2011_09_01_archive.html
Sunday, September 25, 2011. Zucchini, potato and leek crostata. I was baking last week but not blogging. Chris and I went to a funeral on Saturday and I was feeling very introspective. I made the tart, or crostata, pictured above, last weekend. Lovely, right? Chris kept driving me nuts by calling it a pizza. This is not a pizza. It is a savory crostata- -a medley of vegetables baked inside a buttery pie crust. CROSTATA. Ricotta ice cream with caramelized pistachios. And chocoate ice cream. The chocolate ...

There's No Crying in Pastry: November 2011
http://theresnocryinginpastry.blogspot.com/2011_11_01_archive.html
Monday, November 28, 2011. Two weeks in pictures. I didn't make this beauty. Anthony made it for a dinner party and I forgot to post my shots. It's a Bûche de Noël. With mascarpone mousse, pecan dacquoise, gingerbread cake and chocolate glaze. I made four batches of macs. And these pics are from round one. I filled these with peanut butter ganache from a recipe given to me by a friend and former coworker (thanks Cassie! The ganache was amazing. I made more ice cream. I had a back-up plan thankfully, but ...
