I'm not thrilled with that name, but I am sort of excited about a plan I've been thinking about for 2014 posts.
As some of you know, I love to bake. I love to bake cakes. I love to bake pies. I love to bake breads. I love to bake cookies. I love to share these baked things with people. And I love to write and learn.
So I've looked ahead at 2014 and mapped out the Fridays like this:
- 1st Fridays - Cakes
- 2nd Fridays - Pies
- 3rd Fridays - Breads
- 4th Fridays - Cookies
- 5th Fridays - A Major Treat
My plan is to bake the treat on Wednesday evening, have a tasting on Thursday at home and work, and post the recipe, pictures and comments on Friday. My plan is to bake one treat that would fit the next upcoming holiday or for those months that are lean of holidays, I will pick a theme such as the season or birthdays.
Cakes! They may include layer cakes, cheesecakes, pound cakes, cupcakes, coffee cakes, sponge cakes, sheet cakes, chocolate cakes...Oh the cake possibilities!
Pies! Fruit pies and cream pies. Tarts and hand pies. Savory pies like quiche and chicken pot pie. Lattice crust pies, because I've finally figured out how to form one easily and beautifully without the mess of picking up the filling underneath. Even free form pies shaped without a pie pan. Oh the pie possibilities!
Breads! We may not often think of breads as festive or celebratory, but they are! Quick breads and yeast breads. Loaves and shaped breads. Rolls both sweet and savory. Even Irish Soda Bread for a certain holiday in March. Oh the bread possibilities!
Cookies! Who doesn't like a cookie? Amaretti and macarons. Meringues and gingerbread. Lemon and murbteig. Brownies and biscotti. Oh the cookie possibilities!
I hope you will stop by each Friday next year!
