Weekly Mix: Desserts for Outdoor Parties

Friday, May 17, 2013

As much as it baffles me to think about it, it's not long until Memorial Day. And with that day, we begin the season for barbecues, backyard parties, rooftop get-togethers, and all sorts of outdoor parties. If you're anything like me, you'll have dessert delegated to you more often than not. When you think about warm weather desserts, it's easy to think immediately of icebox pies and mini cheesecakes and all kinds of cold desserts. But, here's the thing. If you're going to be dining outside, then those kinds of desserts are not your friends. No melty, gooey desserts here. What we do have is plenty of delicious crowd-pleasers like cookies, bars, cakes, and more.

Weekly Mix: Baking with Berries

As I was making that lovely Raspberry Almond Crumb Tart earlier this week, I began thinking about some of my favorite baking recipes that use berries. These days, berries are available pretty much year-round, but there's just something about fresh local berries that is extra exciting. As we head into berry season, it seems like a good time to start thinking about what to bake with all the berries that will soon be on their way.

Weekly Mix: Breakfast Baking

Happy Friday, my baking friends! I'm not sure where this week has gone, but I imagine it's mired somewhere in all the baking I've done this week. I've lost count of the pounds of butter and flour I've gone through in the last few days. In addition to my regular amount of baking, I am also baking many, many cookies for the NYC Bake Sale that's happening at Brooklyn Flea in Fort Greene this Saturday. If you're not familiar with this big event, it features baked goods from New York area food bloggers and local bakeries. Trust me, that's some good stuff. Plus, all proceeds benefit No Kid Hungry, a national nonprofit organization that's helping to end childhood hunger by 2015. In BoB news, you may have noticed a theme this week. Breakfast was the hot topic as we started out with Mocha Muffins and moved to Cinnamon Roll Cake. It was really unintentional, but I figure we'll just keep going with it today.

This week, I was a very lucky girl indeed. I was one of thirteen food bloggers invited to King Arthur Flour's Blog & Bake™ in Norwich, Vermont. For three days, we baked and baked and then baked some more. We also visited farms and ate some amazingly delicious food. And, all the while, I got to know a very talented and generally awesome group of people. I took literally hundreds of photos, but I will try not to overwhelm you with them. But, I do so want to share as much as I can about such an incredible experience. If you would like to see more photos, see my Facebook page or click here to got to my Flickr set.

It's been a busier than usual week here in the BoB kitchen. As some of you may know, I am about to spend a few days at King Arthur Flour as a guest for Blog & Bake.

To keep up with me during my days at King Arthur Flour, be sure to follow me on Twitter and Instagram. For today, though, let's talk about Mother's Day. The big day is only a few weeks away. If you're looking for something to bake for your mother or grandmother, I've got you covered from cupcakes to cheesecakes and a whole lot in between. The photos above are just a glimpse at some of my favorites. Be sure to see my updated Mother's Day Baking Collection.

Weekly Mix: Chocolate Cookies

I bake so many cookies that I like to categorize them further in my head. Chocolate chip, oatmeal, sandwich, peanut butter.... You get the idea. Some of them overlap, and that's just fine. In fact, my favorite chocolate chip cookies have lots of oats in them. But, I digress. Recently, I shared some of my favorite oatmeal cookies with you. Next up is a collection of favorite chocolate cookies. If you're a fan of chocolate in a big way, these are for you.
