An assortment of Strange Donuts (that's the name of the bakery) including:
Maple Bacon, Gooey Butter Cake, Rainbow Pony, carrot Cake, Salted Caramel, Vanilla Chocolate
Not ordered: peanut butter chocolate and buffalo chicken dip donuts...
Buffalo Chicken dip donuts...yeah sounds a bit odd. That Butter Cake one sounds yummy!0 -
Salted caramel donut from the local donut shop. Still got to try the cannoli donut, the blackberry jam filled donut and a couple others (I've had the Boston Creme and the Coconut ones, so good).

The flavor was great I did make them into mini cupcakes and used my regular buttercream recipe I was worried theirs would have been too sweet.0 -

I made chocolate brioche this morning. It was pretty good but I think I'd have rather had danish.
It was good. Not enough cream cheese though. I admit I was craving this
but I went to two stores and couldn't find one (so hard to find in the US). I will probably drive 20 minutes this week to another store that *might* sell them though. It's too much work to make or I would give it a shot... although probably not that hard for you if you know how to make brioche dough (I have no idea!).0 -
It was my first attempt at it-- like most pastries I've tried it wasn't difficult just time consuming. It required a whopping 30 minutes of kneading. Thank God for stand mixers.0

No pictures?
We actually got a stand mixer last December, I should probably give it a shot. We love brioche, my mom always brings back 3 or 4 when she comes back from France (although it's the packaged stuff, still good, but not filling at all for the calories, so I try to avoid it, but the kids gobble it up). Guess you can make extra and freeze it though...0 -

They definitely got a little meltier than the recipe I was trying showed they should so they weren't very pretty. I think I may have let them proof a little too long. They were supposed to proof for 2-3 hours and I think I left them for 2 hrs and 45 minutes, but I wasn't watching them. I put them in the oven with the light on and went back to bed.
Here's the recipe I made:

Here was mine:
:laugh:
Ah well, it happens. It was still very good.0 -
Oh I'm drooling! It's pretty much what I've been craving, just with chocolate instead of raisins... YUM. I wish I wasn't so lazy!0

Mmmmm brownies.
Because of Fran I had to go make cheese danish. I'll have to post a pic later; I ate this morning's serving without thinking about it.0 -
Yum on the brownie! And can't wait to see the danish!0

I love the optical illusions of the brownie; the first picture makes it look pretty small, but I feel with the second picture it could be about the size of my face.
I would like a brownie the size of my face...0
