Saturday, February 27, 2010. February Daring Bakers - Tiramisu. This month, the Daring Bakers went with the theme Heaven on a Dessert Plate - Tiramisu. On top of making/assembling our own tiramisu, we had to also make our own marscarpone cheese, lady fingers, zabaglione and vanilla pastry cream. It was a lot of work, but in the end, it was delicious! The recipes and rules:. Sponge cake may be not be used as a substitute. After all, a large part of this challenge is making those biscuits. Tiramisu is made...

Sunday, November 29, 2009. November Daring Bakers Challenge - Cannoli! After semi-mastering the art of macaroons last month, I went into November thinking I could definitely handle whatever the DB's threw at me this month. I greatly enjoyed furthering my baking skills and trying new things so this month I was looking forward to more of the same. The directions from the Daring Bakers website are as follows:. Makes 22-24 4-inch cannoli. Filling – 5-10 minutes plus chilling time (about 2 hours or more).

Whisking It Up!: December 2009

Tuesday, December 29, 2009. Daring Bakers December 2009 - Gingerbread Houses! This month, the Daring Bakers were tasked with making Gingerbread Houses. When I was very young, my mom used to making very extravagent gingerbread houses with her 5th grade students and then enter them into a local contest. I figured if she did it so well, it must be in the blood! I was really looking forward to this challenge as it offered a creative outlet during this super busy and hectic time of year. 1 large egg white.

Whisking It Up!: Here, There, and Everywhere!

Thursday, September 9, 2010. Here, There, and Everywhere! I apologize for my absence the past few weeks! Life has been nuts-o! It started with my good friend Jessica and I spending 5 glorious days at my favorite place on earth, Walt Disney World! For those of you that know me, you know I could visit Disney every day for the rest of my life and never tire of it. I am that crazy person who takes multiple trips to Florida each year, and no, I don't have any children. My husband and I just love it! 1 tsp bak...

Whisking It Up!: August Daring Bakers: Baked Alaska!
http://whiskingitup.blogspot.com/2010/08/august-daring-bakers-baked-alaska.html
Sunday, August 29, 2010. August Daring Bakers: Baked Alaska! I'm a few days late, but I wanted to post about this still because I did complete the challenge on time. The last few weeks have just been a little nuts-o so I'm late posting! Being Syrian, I have been making browned butter for as long as I can remember! When we make hummus, we brown butter and pine nuts in a pan before pouring them over the warm hummis. Delicious! Brown Butter Pound Cake. 1 teaspoon (5g) baking powder. 1/2 teaspoon (3g) salt.

Whisking It Up!: A Little Pillow of Heaven....
http://whiskingitup.blogspot.com/2010/08/little-pillow-of-heaven.html
Monday, August 23, 2010. A Little Pillow of Heaven. I made some Caprese Chicken. And some sauteed zucchini and yellow squash. It was a great meal as most of it came from our garden, the farmer's market, or the local farm where we buy most of our meat from. It's amazing what a difference food makes when it's really fresh and raised without loads of hormones and pesticides! Good thing Andrew's friends at work love anything he brings in because it will be going to class with him tomorrow! 2 Sift the cornsta...

Whisking It Up!: January 2010
http://whiskingitup.blogspot.com/2010_01_01_archive.html
Wednesday, January 27, 2010. February Daring Bakers - Nanaimo Bars and Graham Crackers. Personally, I wasn't too crazy about this month's Daring Bakers Challenge. It was nice to have something a bit easier so to speak after last month's very time consuming Gingerbread Houses, but I didn't think the Nanaimo Bars would offer much of a kitchen challenge. I did though think it would be fun to make my own graham crackers. 2 1/2 cups plus 2 tablespoons unbleached pastry flour or unbleached all-purpose flour.

Saturday, October 31, 2009. Tuesday, October 27, 2009. Daring Bakers Challenge October 2009 - French Macarons. This was my first month as a part of the Daring Bakers, and my first time definitely proved to be a challenge! This month's recipe was brought to us by Ami S. She chose macarons from Claudia Fleming’s The Last Course: The Desserts of Gramercy Tavern as the challenge recipe. Surprisingly, those five ingredients proved to be far more intense than I realized they could be. If you plan on using parc...
