Comments (5)I love that show too! I was inspired to make the crepe cake (not mine) below, and it came out very well. I love Flora's pistachio cake that they featured in last season's opening credits, even though I don't remember it being all that well liked by the judges. It was so pretty!...See MoreThe Great British Baking Show
Comments (19)I loved this show. I've watched all of the the Mary, Paul, Sue, Mel seasons. More than once! Tried to give it a chance after the debacle but Mel and Sue carried the humor, which was only second to the wonderful camaraderie the contestants had for each other. I really miss them all together. Becky, I've made that bread several times...including this evening! It's wonderful for toast, which my kids are looking forward to topping with peanut butter and jelly tomorrow morning :) I think it'd make great French toast, too. I use Corningware larger than the sizes of her Pyrex, 1.5 and 1.75. Tonight it was a 2 qt. round for one loaf, instead of two. Freezes well. Here's tonight's slice with some chicken noodle soup from Smitten Kitchen Every Day. I buttered, cooked on a sheet pan at 400 until the bottom toasted, turned and topped with a mix of grated fridge cheeses, and continued to bake until the bottom toasted....See More:/ American Pie on Great British Baking
Comments (10)My comments should've been heavier on the strange pairings. You had to see the episode. The least odd one, won star baker. Key lime pie with ginger added. That actually sounded good. There was one other that I would've tried. "Brendan’s 'elegant' chiffon pie, the raspberries, chantilly cream, and blueberries of which are intended to allude to the colors of the American flag." There was a banana cream pie with butterscotch and salted caramel. Mostly, they sounded completely offputting. Not intriguing as they are often wont to cause. Yep, they actually sweetened their crusts. I work with an international group. I heard one Asian say to another, Americans. Their food has too much sugar. The other agreed. They both left the room having eaten the food and carried additional out. Meaning? I think it's a snobbery thing. I don't think every dessert is too sugary. There are plenty of us who tone it down and don't care for it overly sweet either. I think a lot are sugary. Merely my observations. We're not the only country with sugar in plain view. I think of the Dutch breakfast sprinkles or how the Germans are second in world sugar consumption off the top of my head. Those aren't even anecdotal notes ;) Those are fact....See MoreHave you made a Princess Cake?
Comments (53)Final word on the princess cake: You know those amazing friends who tell you the truth? Such a blessing! The jam was the best part. The cake tasted good. The sponge was "biscuity". I'm not sure what that means, because it formed that sponge cakey meringuey crust. I think it densed up as it went along. It was feathery out of the pan, striff the next morning, and biscuity the next night, so I'm thinking "biscuity" must mean dense, whereas real sponge should be a feather. I should have gone with a really nice sponge recipe, instead of the "authentic" Scandinavian one. I'll make her another one sometime......See More- 10 years ago
