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!

Attention visitors to the Yipyap Café!

This month's #KitchenGladiators challenge is macarons!

I've wanted to make these forever, so now I've a reason! But I need help choosing flavors, so I want your input!

So far I'm thinking pistachio and orange.

Gimme others! ^^

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.

Baked a lovely cream cheese tart with fresh kiwi and blueberries for @toby.nookpup.gay's birthday party ^^ first time making a tart! Was lovely with a shortbread-like crust. Glazed with thinned apricot jam. ^^

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:

Made melomakarona, Greek Christmas cookies, yesterday to take to the family dinner -- gluten-free at that! Rather than top with honey I reduced the soaking syrup to honey consistency once at room temp and gently drizzled that over them. ^^

Baked pumpkin biscotti last night with an adjustment to fit #KitchenGladiators for this month: sweetening half with maple syrup! Cooked down pumpkin to cook off excess moisture to be replaced by syrup. Delightful! ^^

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.

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!

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

Taking another stab at a rye loaf, this time with caraway seeds and minced dried onions in it, higher volume by 20% to account for pan size too. Should be good!

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!

#FediBakes #BakerGay #Baking

The remains of the cake today. Very crispy on top, shockingly light. I imagine if I baked it low and for longer to set it through, it'd be almost like a set chocolate mousse. Shockingly light. Will make again!

Baked King Arthur's English Muffin Toasting Bread.

No rounded top because I overproofed by like 15 minutes in this VERY fast-rising bread! It smelled amazing while baking, smelled weird after slicing, but tastes great!

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! 🧡💙

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!

Here we are; Rosemary garlic focaccia, half sheet pan style. Crunchy, should be amazing with dins!
#BakersOfMastodon #Baking #FurryBaking #FediBakes

Baking up some focaccia this morning to have with dinner tonight and maybe snacking. I kind of made a lot.

Also ovens with the light on really are a great warm space in the kitchen for bulk fermentation!
