    Any Home Bakers Here?

    It is! It's delicious! Like said above, it has a lot of egg yolks and is usually coated in egg wash. It's braided and gorgeous! It's not that hard either!

    ***OKIES in the BYC III ***

    Wow, that's gorgeous. I love quilts, working on one now, but as we all know, time gets away and it takes quite a while. That one looks like fall, beautiful colors.

    Update (comb) and dilemna!
