Yep, I've joined the ranks of the
Daring Bakers. Couldn't help it. Back in November 2006 they all made
pretzels, in December 2006 tried their luck with
biscotti. I noticed them in January 2007, when they all made
croissants (
What a coincidence, I naively thought, all those bloggers suddenly making croissants. I wonder why?) In February 2007 it was
Chocolate Intensity, in March 2007 the
Red Velvet Cake. That's when I finally understood what's going on. I followed the evergrowing list of daring bakers replicating Martha Stewart's
Chocolate Crepe Cake in April 2007, and the challenging
Gateau Saint Honore in May 2007. The idea of everybody following exactly the same recipe and then showing off their more or less successful (usually the former) results became irresistible, and I inquired about the 'club' and was graciously admitted.
