The February 2010 Daring Bakers’ challenge was hosted by Aparna of My Diverse Kitchen and Deeba of Passionate About Baking. They chose Tiramisu as the challenge for the month. Their challenge recipe is based on recipes from The Washington Post, Cordon Bleu at Home and Baking Obsession.
(And oh! I’m back from JAPANG!)
(And oh! I’m late again… but it’s still the 27th somewhere in the world. Right?)
The January 2010 Daring Bakers’ challenge was hosted by Lauren of Celiac Teen. Lauren chose Gluten-Free Graham Wafers and Nanaimo Bars as the challenge for the month. The sources she based her recipe on are 101 Cookbooks and www.nanaimo.ca.
My fingers were at the ready. It was the first of October and I was riding high on the back of my puff pastry successes – what would this month bring? I was hoping for something pretty. Something delicate. Something I hadn’t even thought to do before… and then I saw it:
The 2009 October Daring Bakers’ challenge 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.

“The September 2009 Daring Bakers’ challenge was hosted by Steph of A Whisk and a Spoon. She chose the French treat, Vols-au-Vent based on the Puff Pastry recipe by Michel Richard from the cookbook Baking With Julia by Dorie Greenspan”
I was unfathomably (almost embarrassingly) excited about my second daring baker’s challenge. Possibly more excited, even, than I was about the first. I’d been trying to talk myself into making puff pastry for a while now – and this challenge? Well it was just the kick in the behind that I needed.
The August 2009 Daring Bakers’ challenge was hosted by Angela of A Spoonful of Sugar and Lorraine of Not Quite Nigella. They chose the spectacular Dobos Torte based on a recipe from Rick Rodgers’ cookbook Kaffeehaus: Exquisite Desserts from the Classic Caffés of Vienna, Budapest, and Prague… and this time, I was a part of it.
