Sapphic Book BakeS (yes, that means 2)…- back to the home of Three Dragons, Firewild highlights another Crowhart sister. This time, a Pastry Chef MC!!! Pastry Player Deryn whips up strawberry coconut meringue sandwiches and tiramisu cupcakes. Deeelish- both the story and the bakes!!
The first of 2 bakes for April Birthdays in the office. Lemon meringue pie! Sorry for the grainy photos of before it gets torched (using the torch is my fave part)
Don’t be fooled, there’s 4 bananas in that loaf. I’m providing the potassium!!
Tempered chocolate update. 1st, how to scare the 💩 out of esposa? Listen for her reaction. 2nd, I must be too ambitious for my own good, I went for chocolate bonbon. So, there’s inconsistent shine, etc, but not bad for 1st attempts, pardon my finger indent. Dk choc, biscoff cookie and cream center.
What is wrong with me? I’m going to try tempering chocolate this morning.
So many jokes…so little time
No baking class today. Instead, I was sous chef for Esposa and the Easter bread for tomorrow. Yes, there’s 5 of them. We like to share.
Salut!!! The next French delight made, petit four!
So, that’s actually French for "small oven.” They are known for being small, delicate, decorative, and usually served at tea parties, etc. It’s also a great way to end a meal if you just want a small bite.
I guess you’re not the only one 😂
🤣 😂 let’s try not to have that image of my 16 year old son’s GF in my head
Apple pie in the oven before
Apple pie after
The latest in Surly Teen’s GF’s baking adventures. Apple pie (homemade pie crust and homemade apple pie filling). She definitely likes to create eclectic designs.
For our second French baking class, we work with the Pates….sucre, brisee , sable. Bon appétit
@mariesotiriou.bsky.social cannot wait for this!!!
Given the 💩 show 2026 has been thus far, let’s just skip to November for this goodie instead, hmmm?
@mariesotiriou.bsky.social Cannot wait for this one!!!
Month of March in my office! I am not the only birthday among the peops so I’ve made a lemon tart and a chocolate cake roll with a Bailey’s cream cheese filling.
2nd to last class and we are well into what we like to call, “Hurry up and wait.” That’s right, more yeasted breads!! Added a new bread today as well, the Shio Pan, a Japanese salt bread that is super trendy now. It looks a lot like a croissant but it’s not a real laminated dough. Delish.
…with catnip!!!
I wish I could donate desserts, but I suppose this offering from Lee Winter is adequate.
This Sapphic Book Bake celebrates a debut author, @loumorgan.bsky.social ’s “Strap In.” It was a pleasure to make a TwixCheesecake because hello, cheesecake as a vehicle for caramel and chocolate? Yes!!
Another Sapphic Book Bake for Lee Winter’s “When She Flies” Yes, I made the tea (loose black tea, saffron, cardamom, cinnamon). This tea is ridiculously aromatic. Qottab is a typical buttery pastry filled with a walnut, cardamom, cinnamon and rose water mixed filling. Goes great with the tea!!
I debated if it was worth making an SBB video today. But not posting one just leaves us with sad images. Enjoy @alainaerdell.bsky.social’s Brooke Takes Queen and the apple turnovers procured by Brooke. I’m convinced it was part of the melting process for her ice queen Elizabeth. 😜
Baking class started at 8:30 am and was 5 glorious hours where I worked with students, ran around like crazy, and helped them make beautiful Bundt and specialty cakes. Then I walk outside back into the real world. *sigh*
GCLS Con 2026!! Time to get Loud and Proud! I’m bringing baked goods y’all!**
#Sapphfic #SapphicBooks #GCLS
**<not enough for e’rbody, calm down>
When you least expect it.
So apparently it doesn’t suck 😜
I guess this is the teaser pic for tomorrow’s latest and greatest. My colleague asked for Dubai Chocolate cake. Gotta love the bold assumption I can pull that off!! More pics 🤞after we slice into it!!
