What are you baking? November 2024

As part of my holiday prep, Pumpkin Pots de Creme from Leites Culinaria. I made a half recipe in quarter-cup ramekins. These came out so smooth and creamy. Next year - bigger ramekins!

Thrilled with the cake I decided to make myself for my birthday. Spiced chiffon cake, eggnog ice cream, and vanilla namelaka.
We have unfortunately had scheduled power outages all week and they’re pretty long, and alcohol-laced ice creams are already precarious without power issues, so when it was time to cut it and pipe the namelaka, this was nowhere near as frozen as I would have liked, but it is so absurdly delicious and exactly how I imagined it when I dreamed up the idea a few weeks ago.

I would pay significant dollars for this dessert.

Aw, thank you, that’s so kind of you!
I had planned this for Christmas, but family is coming and I’m rejoicing at having an excuse to finally put the trifle dish to use. But with how this turned out I’m really tempted to make it again!

I just saw a recipe for calissons de Provence and all that candied fruit made me think of you. I don’t see candied melon that often!

I just don’t have larger family gatherings or parties much anymore, and I miss excuses to put my trifle dish to use!

I’ve used it exactly one time! :joy:
So it bothers me that I’ve owned it for over a decade. I figure I need to take advantage of a decent crowd for once.

I made cinnamon rolls on Sunday, since my daughter is home all week. I get the recipe from Saveur, but don’t add nuts or raisins and do a frosting instead of a glaze.

The one with cream cheese laminated into the dough? That’s my favorite cinnamon roll recipe ever (I also omit the raisins)!

Thank you!
