Three days to go to the end of the month. What a day to end this challenge on: Halloween with Halloween candy going on sale 50% off the next day. Honestly, I don't know if I could handle the sweetness now. I've gone 28 days without white sugar and haven't missed it. I can hardly believe I said that! I have baked cookies and cakes all my life. Well, since I was 9. I'm talking since the Kennedy Administration!
I was a wedding cake designer and worked in sugar, powdered sugar and fondant for years. My butter cream and Italian merangue buttercream were legendary. My cakes, cupcakes, cheesecakes and cookies were all made with the best (processed) ingredients available. Butter, eggs, flour, sugar, Dutch processed cocoa and rich Bourbon vanilla.
I didn't stop with desserts; I did breads too. And puff pastry. there is nothing like a fresh, hot, homemade croissant coming out of the oven or a loaf of yeasty bread. The aroma of baking bread will always be one of my favorites. I'm going to have to consider making Danish pastry with fruit filling, a fruit and honey reduction.
