Your Daily Sweets: What Are You Making and Baking? (2017 – )

[Wampa]

Had a party this weekend. Made a Devil's Food Cake with Raspberry Buttercream

 

Also a tiramisu (forgot to photo that one).

 

The frosting job on the cake leaves a lot to be desired (but is probably the best job I've done to date, which says something about my frosting skills....)

I had a craving for Sticky Toffee Pudding

These look so good. I did look for the recipe on your website and can't find it. Is this a recipe that you have posted? I did find a picture of Sticky Toffee Muffins but no recipe. They also look wonderful.

Thank you Ann.

For those of you that have never visited her site, I highly recommend it. It is one of the most beautiful, informative sites on the web. I was one of her biggest fans long before I ever joined eGullet. I've spent many happy hours there.

@Elsie, I have a link to a download for the recipe collection I put together a number of years ago.  

 

One of these days I will try and get around to updating and adding some recipes that are missing.

I should probably update the photos too. Most were taken with my first Sony camera that used floppy disks.   

 

Download for Recipe Collection.

@Tropicalsenior, That blog is my original and when Goggle stopped supporting Blogger, I had to transfer everything over to

Wordpress.    See the above link for the Recipe Collection.

 

You can also find a number of the recipes on Thibeault's Table - Recipes Google Sites

Red currant and strawberry tart, the filling was lightly sweetened ricotta, blind baked the crust using release foil and sugar as the weight. Figs on the menu for the same treatment!

That's lovely. Can you share the recipe for pistachio cake? Is it made with pistachio flour or pistachio cream?

[OlyveOyl]

@Katie Meadow The cake is a work in progress, it’s made with pistachio flour. This is the third iteration, I have one more to try and then I’ll post the recipe as soon as I make it!

[Amy D.]

A classic victoria sponge, with more jam than is pretty but oh so tasty.

[OlyveOyl]

@Katie Meadow This is the cake I posted above.  I’m not quite done with searching for my ideal cake.  I’m going to be trying a sponge cake version in the near future, but you might want to take a look at this.

Fig, red currant, raspberry mini tart..just four bites!

[Neely]

Gorgeous little tarts @OlyveOyl and beautiful Victoria sponge @Amy D.
 

I made some cinnamon rolls using the ‘new’ method (newish to me that is) of pouring some cream over them before they go in the oven. Very soft and fluffy on the inside. The outside was a little crispy mainly because I forgot to cover them with oiled plastic while they were rising and I thought this accidentally worked out quite well. The recipe called for coffee icing but husband said that would make them too sweet for his liking. I may ice a couple for myself.

@OlyveOyl - as always, your desserts are perfection.  A question that I've often wondered about: when eating with currants that are still partially on the stem, do you pick them off before eating/put them your mouth and maneuver the currants off the stem and then discretely spit the stem out (like that bar trick girls used to do in the 1970s 😉)/EAT the stem?  Or is it dealt with some other way I haven't thought of.  

 

Well, here I am among the Dessert Gods/Goddesses with my silly little offerings 😄.   I mean - y'all!!!!  You are just doing incredible things.  And I'm offering two variations on a icebox dessert made with Jello Pudding, Cool Whip, and graham crackers.  This one was for Father's Day:

 

made with cheesecake flavored pudding, chocolate graham crackers and fruit.

 

This one was for a dinner last night:

 

lemon pudding, regular graham crackers, and blackberries.  

[OlyveOyl]

@Kim Shook 😁I slide the currants off the stem between the tines of the fork I will be using and redeposit them on the tart. Your dessert looks scrumptious!

@Kim Shook

 

Id make those desserts 

 

Ive forgotten how jello pudding are mixed up 

 

'so you add cool whip to the made up fellow pudding , mix

 

and then use that mixture for your layering ?

[BeeZee]

Breakfast cookies (vegan), basically oatmeal with mashed banana. Freezer bound for weekday grab+go.

Glad to see I'm not the only one making the most of strawberry season at the moment. I had a handful of stragglers languishing in the bottom of the bowl so, after raiding the freezer for a slice of cake and a scoop of tonka ice cream, the party continues...

Thank you!  This used instant pudding - so it thickens in just a few minutes of whisking with milk.  I think you usually refrigerate it for a time to firm it up.  The creamy layers here is made up of cream cheese, Cool Whip, milk, and pudding mix.

Chocolate pots de creme with a little rum and raspberries;  meringues with cocoa and five spice powder. A nice dry day here today, good for meringue making!

[OlyveOyl]

Some early morning pie baking, should be set enough to cut by lunch time.  A small peach and raspberry pie which will get a side of ice cream or a dollop of sour cream 😋!
