Bake Off Binge (part 1/2)

The Great British Bake Off ended last week – and I’ve only seen one episode! In order to avoid spoilers but also take part, I’ve limited my updates to the weekly themes so I could still bake, and buy, along.

Stubborn as an Ox

Happy Lunar New Year! Lunar New Year marks the first new moon of the lunisolar calendars traditionally used by east Asian countries. Each year is marked by a symbol of the Chinese zodiac, and this is the Year of the Ox, which is attributed with diligence, dependability, strength, and determination.

‘Twas the Week Before Christmas

Was Sunday REALLY the Fourth Sunday of Advent? Nah. It couldn’t have been.

Layered Decadence

The semi-final!? Already!? What a way to finish up the season — high demand bakes in terms of skill and appearance. I think I fit the bill for this one, and I’m SUPER proud of it.
