After a loooooooooong hiatus, we are ready to relaunch the baking/cooking challenge we started over a year ago.
What can I say?
I don't mean to rhyme,
but life got in the way.
I returned to work after being off on maternity leave only to find out that we would be having another baby in March! Now you can see why I was busy.
Anyways, we are ready to return to indulging in baking, for now. I say for now because we will be making a switch.
Baking Beauties will soon also be Cooking Beauties. That's right - to make things a little more feasible for every one's lifestyle (not to mention waistline), we will be starting to cook/bake out of a new cookbook titled Bite Me.
Not only is there a change in cookbooks, there is also a change in how often Baking Beauties will be required to complete each recipe. Instead of the ambitious "once a week" rule, a Baking Beauty will only be required to complete one recipe every other week. I guess we realized that people have busy lives and we don't want to deter people from joining in the fun by setting unrealistic expectations.
So, that's it then... for now. I will post a couple of recipes for us to bake from our original book of choice until we move on to our next venture.
Get your whisks ready ladies!

New Recipes
Hey Guys,
So, I am sorry for posting this week's recipe late in the week again. I had good intentions of posting a long list. In fact, Misty and I drew up a long list a few weeks ago. Ask me where that list is now? I have no idea... which is my reason for the short notice recipe.
However, Misty and I will be making up a new list of upcoming recipes that I pinky swear not to lose.
I was very selfish in choosing something easy this week as I must devote all of my energy into making my nephew a cake for his birthday party. How can you say no to the most adorable three year old ever? You can't.
So, stay tuned for at least a month's worth of upcoming recipes, so you can plan accordingly.
Until then... happy baking!

My Apologies
I am so sorry for posting the upcoming recipes so late. Please excuse my grovelling, but I have been sick over the last week and a bit. I am surprised I have been surviving through the work week!
Nevertheless, I have posted the recipes for the next three weeks, with more to come soon.
Thanks so much for understanding.
...and until next time,
Happy Baking!

Warm Welcome
All of the Baking Beauties would like to send out a warm welcome to our newest member: Jennie from Tuffet.
Check out her blog!
Also, this week's recipe (French Apple Tart) is a must-do! It's simple and extrodinary (with a dollop of whipped cream of course!). I really recommend all of the Baking Beauties attempt it.
Until next time,
Happy Baking!

Conquering Croissants
Hello Baking Beauties,
I am sure you all have seen that the next challenge (and it is indeed a challenge) is croissants.
I would really love you all to try this out. As is mentioned in the cookbook, the recipe is detailed enough that first timers can be successful, so I really do expect to find that each one of you have updated your blogs next Sunday with your results.
Just a quick note, the recipe mentions compressed fresh yeast. No need to worry, you may substitute dry yeast (regular or quick rise). Use 3 1/2tsp of the dry yeast and mix with the warmed milk to activate it.
Good Luck Ladies!

Like a Rollling Scone
Hey Baking Beauties!
Just a quick little note to everyone for this week's recipe. I have been asked if we are allowed to alter the recipe by adding other ingredients.
For sure! You guys need to enjoy what you are baking, and it's not as if you are altering the technique we are using - so use your creative juices!
Can't wait to see everyone's results on Sunday!
Have a great Easter weekend everyone!
