Made a mini cake for my boyfriend for his birthday (he likes to downplay his special day). We were eating at a sushi place, and figured a small cake would be enough for everyone at the table of eight to sample, but not be overwhelming.
ciabatta. again.
Third time is a charm. This recipe is proving pretty darn fail-safe. Made Caprese with Prosciutto sandwiches for the fireworks on the 4th.

My second attempt. (First batch was devoured before photos could be taken) Surprisingly easy and just 2 hours from start to finish equals instant gratification (for bread, that is). Hands-on time less than 10 min. Used Paul Hollywood’s recipe.
apple pie.
mini cheesecakes.
Made these mini cheesecakes for a holiday party, rather than one large one. Made cooking time more manageable and and the leftovers were easily packaged for a few lucky party-goers to take home.
meringues.
My mom would make trays of these melt-in-your-mouth little bites of heaven every year at Christmas. Figured it was about time to take on the challenge.
free-form sourdough.
Second day in a row! On a roll. This time I was not as diligent as I should be and ended up with a big crack before baking. The crust, crumb and taste was delicious.
lovely little loaf.
my best sourdough. so far.
For the very first time, I have made what I consider a perfect sourdough, in texture/crumb and taste. Visually, a bit unruly, but I was thrilled. Have made a batch since, and it was not as good. I think I know what I did wrong, and will test it again and post my findings.

These meringues were about 6 in across—the cookies in back even larger.
Sumptuous veggies.
