So we're a few days, ok, maybe weeks, into the new year, well past my goal of finishing the Baked book. I'm pleased to report that I did indeed finish the cookbook before the end of the year. I was expecting a flurry of recipes needing to be completed between Christmas and New Years but the truth is that I only had 1 left. I took that remaining recipe to our annual New Years Eve board game party with my family where it was declared too fancy. I had to agree but more on that to follow.
When I started this little baking adventure over a year ago, I thought it would be fun to document, photograph and criticize each recipe. And I was wrong. It turned into a huge hassle. Writing up posts, taking photos, editing photos, proof reading and then posting was just too much work! In fact, I set a mini goal to finish all of my postings before the end of the year and well, I'm sure you can guess how that went.
Long story short, I'm still working on it. I have abbreviated comments and photos coming. Eventually.
Since I've completed the book the obvious question is what to bake next? My husband actually asked what book I had selected for 2013 and I laughed in his face. I'm working on flagging all the recipes I've been stock piling and drooling over and I'm just going to meander my way though. I received the Flour cookbook in 2012 and a lot of those recipes are very appealing. To make sure that I got off on the right foot, I baked some cinnamon rolls last week. We both caught a cold and nothing seemed more comforting than a pan of warm homemade cinnamon rolls. Verdict? Eh. It might have been the lack of energy/interest but it didn't turn out all that great. Anyway, I suspect that 2013 is going to be pretty awesome baking wise since I get to be picky about what I make. To hell with the new years resolution to lose weight, I want some warm caramel/chocolate/almond/cake/brownies/everything else.
