Bake the World a Better Place

Yesterday was World Baking Day, so naturally, that inspired a blog post for me. Here's a selection of some favorite bakes of the past year, interspersed with some cute baking sentiments. Please enjoy! :)

Blueberry Zucchini Cake with Lemon Buttercream

Recipe from The View from Great Island, and revamped by me. Find it here.

It's so beautifully arranged on the plate, you know someone's fingers have been all over it. ~Julia Child

Classic Sugar Cookies

Recipe from Betty Crocker

I added 3/4 tsp. of ground cardamom to make things a little more interesting.

Happiness is baking cookies. Happiness is giving them away. And serving them, and eating them, talking about them, reading and writing about them, thinking about them, and sharing them with you. ~Maida Heatter

Pear Frangipane Tart

Recipe from Williams-Sonoma

Baking may be regarded as a science, but it's the chemistry between the ingredients and the cook that gives desserts life. Baking is done out of love, to share with family and friends, to see them smile. ~Anna Olson

Victoria Sandwich Cake, Reimagined

My own invention, using a basic Betty Crocker chocolate cake recipe as the base. Find it here.

Cakes are healthy too, you just eat a small slice. ~ Mary Berry

Happy baking, everyone!
