I made cinnamon rolls again for @mathias and I for our Sunday ...brunchnner, we'll call it. x3

King Arthur's Perfectly Pillowy Cinnamon Rolls are absurdly good for the ~3 hr start-to-finish process!

If folks don't get tired of seeing them I don't get tired of sharing photos each time I make cinnamon rolls 🧡 Made to share with my walf! ^^

Made Cuban lime sugar cookies for a get-together with friends Saturday ^^ if they look green, that's cause they are -- like zest! Rich and delicious, and I put a little dot of guava paste in the center of each.

Made these chocolate pastry things on a whim. I made vanilla bean pastry cream to go with but didn't really make the right kind of thing to easily fill. Gonna just split and fill like layers I think.

Since I was stuck here I baked a cheesecake for my parents -- triple-ginger snaps with some cinnamon for the crust of a vanilla-espresso zebra cheesecake. It was lovely. :kay_happy:

Results from tonight's baking: red bean rice cake and strawberry matcha rice cake! Both done like western cakes, but using sweet rice flour. Outstanding! And chewy like mochi! It's like a hybrid between cake and mochi! 🧡

Baked cinnamon rolls for my walf and I! Second time making them, lovely every time ^^

Plum and Peaches-&-Cream Shortcake! A filling of peaches, plums, and basil to a shortcake with a whipped cream topping folded with gelled peaches using pectin!

Recipe here: https://tandoor.sqkyote.me/view/recipe/44/d694fa75-b88e-4137-8b23-e4b74f501043

This is a mashup of 2 different recipes I adapted for peaches or for freshness instead of spicedness. The basil is outstanding in this! I'd adapt the shortcake differently next time. I'm not entirely sure what I did wrong but it didn't rise at all, very dense, not the lighter fluffier thing I was expecting. I think I'd scale back down the shortcake amount to the original recipe and then just spread it over the full 9" pan.

Tonight I baked alfajores, a South American variant (I believe Argentinian!) of a sandwich cookies, these with dulce de leche as the filling! Also #GlutenFree as primarily corn starch dough! Very tasty!

The other treat I forgot to share as far as #baking is concerned was this chocolate sheet pan "croissant" from King Arthur. The crust recipe needs some work, namely it's almost too thin, but definitely could work! Fun chocolatey treat!

I was a little indisposed Thursday night, but I baked this orange blossom honey almond yogurt cake and absolutely loved it! Would play more with spicing and the like next time to tweak slightly, or maybe do something with apricots for filling or even a blend!

If I do a baking stream tonight, which should I make?

Millionaire's shortbread is a shortbread bar covered in a layer of a soft chewy caramel with chocolate on top -- I'd be making all parts on camera.

Cake is up for my choice.

Brownies would be a simple but tasty recipe with some additions to kick it up.

Speaking of #baking, I baked a lovely #CoffeeCake for my family and I for this morning as a treat! I've been thrilled getting to bake a lot this visit! This is #GlutenFree as well and would never know, so good! Cocoa powder in the filling lends a lovely depth to the resulting cake flavor!

I baked burger buns <3

#baking #BakerGay #BakersOfMastodon #FediBakes

I baked burger buns, not potato buns this time, just simple enriched rolls. ^^

Done without the egg wash from here: https://www.kingarthurbaking.com/recipes/beautiful-burger-buns-recipe

Hey #BakersOfMastodon, where do you like to buy high-quality baking chocolate from? I'm interested in Valrhona chocolate but I doubt their site is the cheapest. Or if you like another brand, I'm all ears!

Freshly-baked scones! Flavored with vanilla bean paste and mahleb. I love the way it comes through as a floral and cherried flavor -- vaguely marzipan but nowhere near as sharp. Lovely spice my sister gifted me <3 #baking #BakerGay #BakersOfMastodon

I forgot to post this! @mathias asked me for a German's Chocolate Cake for his birthday, and even though it was late, I delivered! Milk chocolate cake with a milk chocolate whipped cream frosting and toasted pecan-coconut filling between the layers. ^^ Was VERY good, and was glad I could make it for him! 🧡💙

Baked a gluten-free Tiramisu-themed cheesecake after baking gluten-free ladyfingers for the crust, and then made a thick espresso filling, with a whipped cream and mascarpone topping dusted with cocoa powder. ^^ For a local friend to take to a family event for his birthday. #GlutenFreeBaking #GlutenFree #Cheesecake #Baking #BakerGay #BakersOfMastodon

Baked gluten-free ladyfinger sponge cookies last night! I'll be using them today to make a tiramisu-themed cheesecake for a friend for his birthday so he can share it with his family ^^

A tiramisu zebra cheesecake! Has a chocolate ganache on top with mascarpone whipped cream, and the bottom crust is a genoise cake brushed with espresso syrup!

It fell over slightly, and was a little too warm when I sliced it -- I really need like, perfectly sized boxes for putting these in even packed fridges, or to freeze them -- so it didn't slice cleanly.

Would make double the amount of mascarpone whipped cream next time and spread it on with an offset spatula instead. I'd also skip the espresso brushing of the cake and probably leave it plain without brushing, I think the cheesecake itself contributed plenty of moisture there. But definitely would make like this again!
