Substance over style! #notperfect GBBO pastry week Substance over style! #notperfect GBBO pastry week technical challenge , 6 eclairs in 2.25 hours #challengeaccepted✔ #deliciousbutmessy Salted caramel eclairs with salted caramel creme patisserie, and Raspberry eclairs with a raspberry glaze and raspberry creme patisserie. Not my neatest, but 2.25 hours flies by. (There may or may not have been some dancing in the kitchen and I was racing at the end to finish) #zentimeinthekitchen #ilovebaking #bakefromscratch #bakersofinstagram #homebaker #eclairs #pastryweek #substanceoverstyle #gbbotwitterbakealong #lateagain
3 tier white chocolate “Showstopper” in 4 hrs? 3 tier white chocolate “Showstopper” in 4 hrs? #challengeaccepted✔ #gbbotwitterbakealong #twitterbakealong Thank you @the_baking_nanna and @rob_c_allen for the fun challenge, I’m a week behind. This giant cake is made of alternating white chocolate and fresh raspberry sponge, Italian meringue white chocolate butter cream, seedless raspberry jam, white chocolate ganache drip, and tempered white chocolate pieces surrounding the base with a few glazed raspberries to decorate. It turned out really nice, albeit a little #catywampus in my rush to meet the 4 hour challenge. Makes me really appreciate the bakers on #greatbritishbakingshow and #greatamericanbakingshow that much more! And now...I need to find some willing takers of a few pieces or just the entire bottom 2 tiers (8 and 10 inch double layer cakes) #whatwasithinking #ilovetobake #bakestagram #bakersofinstagram #baking #amateurbaker #abakerslife #sendhelpandcoffee #alittlehelpfrommyfriends #helpmeeatthis #letthemeatcake #comeandgetit #whitechocolatecake #worththecalories

Have you ever had Paprenjak? If you’ve ever been Have you ever had Paprenjak? If you’ve ever been to Croatia, you know exactly what these are. Traditional Croatian Pepper Biscuits, using a traditional Croatian Cookie press with delicious results!

2 Irish Soda Breads in 1.75 hours? #challengeaccep 2 Irish Soda Breads in 1.75 hours? #challengeaccepted✔ Gorgonzola & Walnut, and Cranberry Citrus with a Pecan Streusel. So good my Taste Tester wanted to keep it for the house! (Normally, I try and give my bakes away, but I guess not these!) What a fun challenge to bake along with the show, first time I’ve been able to. We need more shows like #greatbritishbakeoff and #greatamericanbakingshow that highlight comraderie and friendship instead of creating more drama. We have enough of that without having to invent it. Baking is my #meditationspace , a way to forget the world. #bakingtherapy #bakingtime #zentimeinthekitchen #gbbotwitterbakealong #bakingfromscratch #ilovetobake #homebaker #amatuerbaker #irishsodabread #getinmybelly😋

Croatian Krempita, also known as Kremsnita or Crem Croatian Krempita, also known as Kremsnita or Cremeschnitte, depending where your family recipe comes from. Whether it’s Croatian, Slovenian or Austro-Hungarian, this classic recipe with a vanilla cream custard and full-puff pastry dessert is a must-try! And no short cuts for me, but a box of puff pastry will work if you are pressed for time.

Blueberry Lemon Tart with Swiss Meringue, 2 hour t Blueberry Lemon Tart with Swiss Meringue, 2 hour time test. As one of the super fans of the Great British Bake Off and The Great American Baking Show, I think I’ll bake along this year which means trying to bake in the time they’re given. 2 hours from start to finish for a citrus tart sounded crazy! So, now I totally understand the scramble as they’re trying to complete their bakes, and why sometimes they may or may not be as perfect as they want. Can’t wait for the new GBBO season to start! #homebaker, #baking #bakersofinstagram #baker #bake #bakingfromscratch #gbbo #greatbritishbakingshow #greatbritishbakeoff #gabs #greatamericanbakingshow #swissmeringue #lemonmeringue #delicious #lovetobake #ilovebaking #amateurbaker
Chocolate & Cherry Loaf, another from my quest to Chocolate & Cherry Loaf, another from my quest to bake everything in the GBBO Cookbook. I didn’t write the male judge’s name here but it’s his recipe with some added drizzle on top, I have no idea if it turned out right or wrong, but it tastes perfect and it’s baked well. I will have to try this delicious thing with an absurd amount of fruit and chocolate again to perfect the shape. #amateurbaker #homebaker #gbbo #delicious #selftaughtbaker #homemadebread #chocolatecherrybread
The Quest continues! Baking my way through the GBB The Quest continues! Baking my way through the GBBO cookbook, finally got through the Sticky Honey Cinnamon Rolls! Not sure why this one kept getting pushed off, but I can tick “Sticky Buns” off my to-do list. Delish! #gbbobakes #gbbo #homebaker #bakefromscratch #amateurbaker #selftaught #selftaughtbaker #stickybuns
