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

[YvetteMT]

@rotuts it's a very nice, not overly sweet, flavor for summer. Pairs nicely with anything fruit. I hope you can find it, we get spoiled with a lot of Tillamook flavor variety!

they have this at my local MarketBasket !

 

Ill look into this , this weekend.

 

thank you for pointing this out !

 

growing up , in Los Altos , CA 

 

way way way back when 

 

dirt and gravel roads , apricot orchards

 

we used to go into ' town '   :  two streets ,  < 100 M long

 

but a Clints Ice

they had a very large , rotating ' ice cream cone ( sugar cone ) '

 

on their roof.   fantasmagoric when you are 4 - 5

 

and ice cream ( all made there ) that was 1/2 vanilla , 1/2  fruit sorbet 

 

do I remember this ?  you bet.

Choux puff...

 

 

 

Choux au craquelin with toasted fig leaf crème légère and some of the cherry compote I stashed in the freezer a month or two back.

[Pete Fred]

I had a not insignificant amount of fig leaf cream left over from yesterday so was in need of ways to use it up.

 

I baked off another choux or three and tried an alternative presentation...

 

 

If I'd have cooked down the cherry juices to make a thicker syrup then I might've avoided the cerebral haemorrhage effect when sliced...

 

 

Mmmmmm.... brains!

 

Some decent strawberries from the market meant I could break out the extra vecchio...

 

 

There were a couple of twists of Kampot, and a glug or two of kirsch in there, too.
