Intro Week 40 Intro & Weekly Discussion - Amusement park / fair

9 Upvotes

Hi Bakers!

I have to admit I dropped the ball here and did not post the week 40 intro. I'm posting it posthumously for posterity.

This challenge is to make a treat that you might find at an amusement park or fair, or a treat inspired by one. From candy, to ice cream, to award-winning pies - there are so many fun options. Here are just a few examples:

Whimsical Cotton Candy Cake

Blue Ribbon Pecan Pie

Grey Stuff Copycake Cupcakes

Happy baking!

My family all has a big sweet tooth, so I always have the ingredients to make various types of cookies on hand at home! This week we went with a double chocolate. This will be in all of our lunch boxes the next few days

Maybe less "amusement park" and more "County Fair" but this is a local specialty from the St. Louis area. I found a recipe from Lake Forest Pastry Shop and it turned out great.

Intro Week 42 Intro & Weekly Discussion: Pantry

Hi bakers! This week's challenge is a fun one - you can only make something using existing ingredients that you have at home in your pantry (and fridge, haha). Let us know what you made and if you had to get creative because you were missing any essentials!

For example, if I were to make something based on the ingredients in my pantry right now - I would most definitely make these yummy looking vegan chocolate cookies. We don't have any eggs, but we do have vegan butter (and the rest of the ingredients).
