Raspberry Cloud Cups by Kelly CA with New Whipped Cream by Sarah Phillips
emmabellas: I DID IT!!!! There are some things I'm incredibly intimidated by when it comes to baking - making cakes from scratch and pretty much any dessert outside of cookies. Well, I decided to try and overcome these intimidations....and last night it was the Meringe Cups. I used the recipe for the Meringue Cups on this website and blended raspberry and blackberries together.....I couldn't believe how nice they turned out. It was really quite humid here - so they began to get sticky - but no one complained. Thanks Kelly and Sarah for another incredible recipe!

Buttermilk Bundt Cake by Sarah Phillips
meg: That buttermilk bundt cake is great! I make that all the time....and it takes well to all kinds of variations (mix-ins, flavorings, etc.). I've made a lemon buttermilk quickbread - the recipe was in an old issue of Food & Wine, I believe. But the texture was a little funky.....I much prefer the BBC recipe that's on this site.

Ultimate Butter Cake by Sarah Phillips
Marta80: Sarah, I have tried this cake last weekend since I had a bbq party at home; I filled it with Nutella and covered with dark chocolate ganache.
I was looking for a good base for the topsy turvy I am making this upcoming weekend for my sister's birthday smile.gif
If you consider that in Italy we are not used to buttery cakes, this one was a real real big success!! I tried some other recipes in the past weekes but this one was far better! I am going to make a chocolate version for my sister and am going to decorate it with fondant and "dress it" as a doctor ( she is a medicine student at her 4th year smile.gif Thank you for this recipe!!

The bride is very happy to know her cupcake cream will not melt during the entire wedding and still taste soft. Thanks so much. There are so many info contained in this website smile.gif , I think I need some time to know all functions!

Sarah's German Chocolate Layer Cake by Sarah Phillips
CYNDI65: Made this for hubby's birthday party this weekend, D-E-L-I-C-I-O-U-S!...I didn't frost the outside of the cake because hubby wanted it ALL in between the layers and on top, he likes lots of the frosting! lol

Lemon Ultimate Butter Cake
CYNDI65: YAY! It worked! I should have added lemon oil also because it doesn't have the strong lemon flavor like I wanted, but that's okay. They are soooo good! They will have lemon buttercream, so that will provide some lemon flavor also. They are so pretty and fluffy. I love how light they are....I am making the chocolate UBC tonight.

Easy-Breezy Strawberry Cream Tart by Sarah Phillips, Step-by-Step Tutorial ~ Lactose-free and Kosher Variations
weekoldmilk: I have to say that this is one of my favourite threads to read and I am finally ready to make my small contribution...I guess I've been shy up until now! rolleyes.gif
I'm very junior to this, so I could say that this summer has been my first time baking. I love this site! I am finding myself logging in almost daily to read the banter between you all...I am filing away pointers all the time that I expect to use sometime in the future!
So a couple of my (more successful) projects recently:
The easy-breezy strawberry tart:
I used Sarah's Perfect Pie dough and the low-fat custard recipes. The custard ran a little when it warmed up out of the fridge, but I think I expected that with the little fat content. The family just loved it, including my yongest nephew who was very pleasantly surprised by the chocolate layer!
Thick-with-a-chew Peanut Butter cookies:
Brought them to work and they were instantly devoured!
Also, Sarah's Very Good Bagels:
My roommate then demanded freshly baked bagels daily!
I look forward to asking many questions for my future baking projects...it is so nice to see that everyone is so helpful on this site!

Basic Ice Cream - Eggless and Gluten Free by Kelly CA, My go-to recipe
yvette: Hey Ladies I tried the recipe again no doubling this time and it came out great. Also I used mostly heavy cream and just 1 cup of milk and the recipe still came out great. My family loved it. Thanks a million.

Scratch Cake from a Mix by Sarah Phillips
raya raya: Hi Sarah I really like your recipe and always get rave revues for my cakes . Thank you .

Caramel Swiss Meringue Buttercream by Kelly CA
KellyCA: ....like I used to, you never tasted Swiss meringue buttercream! I just made a batch of caramel Swiss meringue buttercream, and mint Swiss meringue buttercream for our upcoming party/cupcake buffet and, I swear, I could eat the whole bowl! It is light, not too sweet and so deliciously FLUFFY!I ABHOR the thick, gritty powdered sugar frostings, but I ADORE SMBC!!! If you haven't ever tried it, do yourself a favor, and make some!

Giant Chocolate Chip Cookie Baked in a Skillet by Sarah Phillips
Liz: i didnt put any "regular" salt i cracked sea salt because it was all we had and put the appropriate amount of that in but i think the cracked sea salt made it better because when you would eat it you ould get these little salt crystals mixed with all the sweetness! it was gone in less than 24 ours though.

Brownie Cookies by msbreez
Orange Piggy: I love msbreez's recipe. Brownie cookies are great to have with milk or ice cream.

Chewy Chocolate Chip Cookie Bars by Sarah Phillips
CYNDI65: Well, I made the Chewy Chocolate Chip Cookie Bars this weekend, but made them into brownies because that's what hubby wanted....Everyone just loved them!

Marshmallow Fondant by Sarah Phillips
bakelicious10: I just made MMF for my first time - took me approx. 30 min from start to finish & so far it looks pretty good! I will let it sit till tomorrow before I try rolling it out & then I'll know if I was sucessful.
I've been baking since 8 AM (made strawberry filling for UBC, made Tami's Buttercream icing for UBC, iced UBC & made MMF) so I think I need to go make sure my kids brains have melted in front of the TV!!!!

Chocolate Creative Cut-out Sugar Cookies by Sarah Phillips
Orange Piiggy: I baked Chocolate sugar cookies. They are perfect with cold milk. I rolled the dough thinner for crispier cookies.

White Chocolate Cream Cheese Frosting by Sarah Phillips
Orange Piiggy: And this is RLB's banana cake. I frosted it with your White chocolate cream cheese. Yummy!

Ultimate Butter Cake by Sarah Phillips
bakelicious10: Well I did it! And it turned out PERFECT! The taste is out of this world, I mean honestly it's incredible! Even the smell in my house is intoxicating!!!

Again, can' even properly described the taste other than drool-tastic!!!!!!! Thanks for the wonderful recipes & the support. I'm so excited to be part of this baking connection
