I am committing sacrilege and baking an out-of-season King Cake, but it's for a good cause. The winery where my hubby works wants to do a Mardi Gras celebration next year & the managers have never had king cake… I'm making it to show them what they need to serve during Mardi Gras.

A cake cannot be out of season for any reason.

Oh wow just found this thread. I love to bake! Do most of it in the winter though as I am busy canning this time of the year. Thought I might post some of my past pics though... enjoy!

Angel food cake with 7-minute frosting

Whole Wheat Pop Tarts

forgot what this one was called...but it had a cream cheese filling (need to find that recipe again)

Caramel Peach Pie

I am rather proud of my creations since when I got married 5 years ago I had never made much more than spaghetti or macaroni and cheese!

I am making 3 breakfast quiche. I used 18 eggs, 2 pints (roughly) sour cream, a tube of Jimmy Dean Sausage, a pint box of the instant hash browns, shredded colby jack and pre-made Marie Calendar deep dish crusts.

They smell divine! I'm only baking them long enough to set and brown slightly so that I can freeze them for the weekends.

I had some left over has browns so I fried them up and will make an egg sandwich and put them in 's breakfast for my drive to work

Seven Minute Frosting

4 egg white, room temp 30 minutes
1 3/4 C sugar
1/2 c water
1/2 tsp cream of tarter
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
1/2 tsp almond extract

In a saucepan (medium size) bring sugar and water to a boil, continue boiling for 5 minutes or until firm ball stage.

Meanwhile, beat egg whites and cream of tarter until foamy- Slowly pour in HOT sugar misture; continue to beat for 7 minutes or until stiff peaks form (took me about 10 minutes on the 12 speed setting) Add extracts, continue beating 2-3 minutes or until the desired consistency is reached.

If you like your icing to get hard leave out the cream of tarter. I like it soft, but my dad swore it wasn't the same stuff his mom made... Looked at her recipe and the only difference was the cream of tarter so I made it without and it got hard.

Caramel Peach Pie

Ingredients:

1 cup plus 2 tablespoons sifted all-purpose flour (sift before measuring)
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup sugar
1/4 cup butter, room temperature
1/3 cup milk
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 egg
Caramel sauce, below
1 3/4 cups drained sliced peaches, reserve juice for sauce
Preparation:

Sift together the flour, baking powder, cinnamon, salt, and sugar. Add butter, milk, and vanilla. Beat for 2 minutes at medium speed of electric mixer. Add egg and beat 1 minute longer. Fold in peaches, reserving 8 slices for topping later; pour batter into unbaked pie shell. Spoon cooled caramel sauce over top of batter. Bake at 350° for 50 to 60 minutes, or until set. 10 minutes before the pie is done, quickly arrange reserved peach slices over the top. Serve peach pie warm.


Caramel sauce

2/3 cup brown sugar, firmly packed
1/4 cup butter
1/4 cup reserved peach juice
2 tablespoons corn syrup
Combine all sauce ingredients in saucepan; bring to a boil. Cook for 1 minute. Cool to lukewarm

I had to cook mine for almost 75 minutes, and it did bubble over so use a cookie sheet under your pie pan.
