It's the last Saturday of the month and that means it is time to share what I have baked during the month of September.
It's been another busy baking month, helped no doubt by the fact that I had plenty of time thanks to taking a week off work
Coffee Meringue Shards - When BethFishReads and I did a joint review of Nadiya Hussain's Nadiya Bakes recently, she shared the recipe for Coffee Meringue Shards. I hadn't really noticed this recipe in the book, but I am glad that I made these.
I used these a couple of ways. The first way was with whipped cream, as a sort of coffee eton mess. Simple but delicious.
The second way I used them was by making the coffee cream cake that I originally made a couple of months ago and used these as the decoration.
Today I am making a flamingo cake for my son's 23rd birthday. Yes, that's what he chose, except he wanted a green flamingo! That's something to look forward to seeing in my October post!

Marg,
ReplyDeleteThe chocolate babka looks very appealing. It looks like it came out great.
Maybe I am being a bit harsh on myself Judee!
DeleteAlways love your baking recaps. That meringue bark was surprisingly easy and good -- I'm sure I'll make it again.
ReplyDeleteIt was easy, and tasty. I liked that it used both the yolk and the white of the egg so you didn't have to worry about what to use the other part for.
DeleteEvery month I envy your bakes. We just can't afford the _calories_, especially as there are only two of us and one can only bake in fairly big quantities. We would gladly eat them and feel guilty.
ReplyDeletebest... mae at maefood.blogspot.com
I can't really afford the calories either truth be told.
DeleteOh I’m drooling over all of this but that babka.... mmmmm. I very much look forward to the green flamingo!
ReplyDeleteThe green flamingo turned out okay! I was relatively happy with it
DeleteI finally felt like baking this week, perhaps because we are heading into fall!
ReplyDeleteAlso have a pot of tomato soup simmering on the stove.
I am starting to think about different flavours as we head into spring
DeleteYum! It all looks amazing. I love babka and those coffee meringue shards are still calling to me. Thanks again for joining in Cook the Books with your hummingbird cake too. ;-)
ReplyDeleteTry the shards! They were pretty easy!
DeleteI am so pleased because for the first time in ages I've been able to post here! I think it was a linky problem, but I seem to be all set now. I've missed Weekend Cooking. Gosh, I think I made a hummingbird cake years ago. I'll have to check into it. Thank you!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for joining in again Nan!
DeleteEverything looks delicious! It seems since getting this cold, I haven't done much at all in the kitchen...
ReplyDeleteHope you feel better soon Melynda!
DeleteThat all looks really good! :)
ReplyDeleteTasted pretty good too Greg!
DeleteI've never made babka, your looks wonderful.
ReplyDeleteThanks Diane! I will try making it again!
