Has it really been 5 weeks?
What have I done?!

I'm sorry to leave you lacking without food for so long.

In the meantime, I've made a mean lasagna, and spent a lot of time making cheese danishes. And man, were the danishes good. The process was similar to making the croissants, only with two extra turns and some added spices to the dough. Form them, plop some yummy cheese filling in the middle and voila! A most wonderful pastry.

A few evenings before that, I made souffle for the first time. It was a cinch compared to a genoise cake! Don't be afraid to make one. A little bit of cream of tartar in the egg whites and a well-buttered+sugared ramekin with an extra high rim made from tin foil will ensure a perfect result. That, and don't open the oven!

Yes, I know this does not satisfy. I will make things and post pictures. School started back and I've been busy. Then I got in a wreck. Then I didn't make anything for a week (blasphemy!). Hey, if you're busy, you're busy.

I'm taking requests on what my next baked good should be.
edit: The number one contender is opera cake! Speak now or forever hold your peace.
