I think it's also important to show delicious failures. This is a dacquoise I planned for a party that never rose, in fact it fell, so I wouldn't take it in public. Later my hubby and I ate some of this tasty flop.

I made a variety of buns for summer dinners. We'll use 2 hot dog buns tonight and freeze the others in pairs.

Just came back from a 6-day baking vacation at King Arthur Baking Education Center. I recommend it for a great time (I don't work for them). This is Bagels, Bicolor Croissant, Cardamon Laminated Brioche Rolls, and Herb Yeast Rolls. See 2 other posts for more pics.

Custard-filled Date Cake. The cake is very good, but the Bird's Custard is pretty bland and didn't really penetrate. Next time I'll try scratch-made creme anglaise.

Not every bake is a success. I tried making Bolani and the crust came out dry and pretty bland taste. The filling was good. I guess it's back to my local Afghan restaurant for review and advice. The chickpea and butternut squash stew was delicious.

Horlicks ginger cookies. I had to make several adjustments to the recipe from Horlicks for both the dough and the malty frosting. Adding the chocolate ganache was my idea. Doesn't everyone have ganache just sitting in the fridge waiting to be useful?
