Week 50: Candy - Peppermint bark - midwest.social

A super easy recipe [https://sallysbakingaddiction.com/peppermint-bark/#tasty-recipes-74370] and finally an excuse to use the chocolate mold i bought several months ago! I elected to go the double boiler route instead of microwaving the chocolate and wpuld recommend that to anyone trying this themselves. You just end up with a more uniformly melted chocolate that behaves better. I’m glad i went with the mold instead of traditional pan barkbecause it breaks the bark into uniformly sized pieces with a perfectly cream texture with a bit of snap thanks to the candy cane chunks inside.

Week 48: Cobblers - midwest.social

Happy Thanksgiving to everyone out there! I’ve been so busy starting a new job that i havent had much time for baking. But we are having a thanksgiving potluck tomorrow so i decided to take on a bunch of stuff at once! Had to do a challenge this month, have to do all my Thanksgiving prep today because i am working tomorrow and Thursday so i won’t have time, and I gotta make a good impression on my new co-workers! Tomorrow morning I’ll whip up some fresh whipped cream! I still have 2 more small cobblers in the oven as I write this up, as all the small ones will be going to friends around town for them to share with their families as well.

Week 40: entremets- hazelnut cake and crunch, white chocolate and coffee moose, with a butterscotch glaze - midwest.social

Went off of this recipe [http://www.ironwhisk.com/2014/06/coffee-hazelnut-and-caramel-entremet/] only i used a roind cake ring instead of a square one. I’m not happy with how the carmalized hazelnut crunch turned out, as it became way to solid, and the glazing didnt want to stick to the sides of the cake, but all the flavors were absolutely amazing?

Week 39: Oktoberfest - brötchen and currywurst - midwest.social

I’m not much of a bread guy, but figured i would give some brötchen a go! My currywurst is pretty lackluster, but the brötchen is awesome! I added about a teaspoon of ground mustard to it to give it a bit extra German umf and i am incredibly happy with it! The beer is Frankenmuth Oktoberfest out of Frankenmuth ❌ichigan. The stein is from Twin Oast Brewery out Catawba Island Ohio. Their Oastoberfest is my favorite Oktoberfest around here and I have been going for several years now. Proast! Have fun, and be safe!
