Moravian Sugar Cake from NYT Cooking...

 

 

 

I *think* I've made cake(s) in the past with mashed potato, but seemingly they weren't particularly memorable, as was the case here. I liked the look, but otherwise it didn't land with me.

 

Recipe or YouTube.

Was taught a similar cake way back in grade 7 - Schwenkfelder Cake it was called - had saffron in it. Got replaced with another breakfast type cake later that didn't require yeast - but it was my go to for a number of years.

Pavlova again, this time with passionfruit crème, raspberries, blackberries, passion fruit curd and backberrry coulis.

Blueberry Pie.  Again.  But the Peruvian berries I'm getting here in Tucson are quite nice and juicy!

Pineapple Upside Down Cake for my aunt Joyce’s birthday. She is shocked I used a fresh pineapple 😁. I guess she never thought of it 🤷‍♀️

That looks gorgeous, @RWood !

Caneles.  A few too many cul-blancs (white asses), but overall satisfied.

That looks really lovely. I made an upside down cake yesterday too, but mine was with pears and gingerebread. No picture but this is the link. https://sallysbakingaddiction.com/upside-down-pear-gingerbread-cake/

It was well received.

Well, my sister got me a one-day macaron baking class for Christmas. It was a lot of fun! So I tried to do it at home. 
 

Sadly, it seems I am not yet a macaron master! I think I didn’t stir enough, so the shells never formed. Tastes great, but will need to try again it seems. Everything is a learning experience.

If they taste good - that's a win. I have made many batches and oddly my first batch was the best. There are so may variables, one just has to perservere.
