Recipe 2

Well, I lasted longer than I thought I would with my challenge. 
Today I baked the "Blueberry Cornmeal Skillet Cake" Aka as it probably tastes better with ice cream. I didn't even know that you could bake in skillets it was probably just an aesthetic but cool nevertheless.

The Cookbook Challenge:Recipe 1

The challenge: 65 recipes
The deadline: 90 days 
Reward: Refined baking skills + trip to Portland to go to the authors bakery + long hours scrubbing dirty dishes in the kitchen
The Obsession: Julie & Julia

Today marks the first day of my new challenge. To cook 65 different cake recipes in 3 months. I'm baking my way through "Vintage Cakes".

First up: Berry Long Cake with Ginger Crumb Aka as don't burn the crumbs..
I have never even heard of candied ginger but I learned how to make it without burning it in about 5 minutes & the yelling of my little sister who reminded me to take it off the stove. 


Here is to hoping I can get more creative with food-ography
