Post #6 - September 25th, 2019, 10:55 amSadly, I have gestational diabetes with this pregnancy that's been a little hard to control, so eating dessert is out for now
But, as I told kalamazoogal, as soon as I have this baby, I am eating *all* the cake. Hope to see everyone after November!

Post #13 - October 4th, 2019, 8:07 pmIf it’s not too late, I’d love to join Sunday. I have a family event in Wilmette earlier that should be done by 4 so I might be a little late. Depending on how much time I have, I will either try my hand at mahogany cake with ermine frosting (my stretch goal) or else will bring ooey gooey cinnamon squares.

Post #15 - October 5th, 2019, 11:00 amIf there’s still room, I’d love to attend! Thanks so much to pairs4life for the heads up! I am thinking chewy coconut bars with orange-lemon icing.

Post #16 - October 5th, 2019, 11:38 amI have just finished assembling Christina Tosi’s (MilkBar) Tiramisu cake which now requires 12 hours to ‘set’ in the freezer before thawing to serve. Some of you know how much I love coffee. And dessert. If my test tastes of the components are any indication, I think this one is a winner.

Post #19 - October 5th, 2019, 10:47 pmHi,
On facebook, there is a group devoted to the Great British Baking Show.
I will make Chelsea buns, though the precise filling will be determined in the morning.
After a GBBS holiday program, I made Chelsea buns stuffed with turkey, cranberry sauce and stuffing. I have seen them filled with mincemeat. It seems the filling is only limited by your imagination.
Regards,
Cathy2Cathy2

Post #20 - October 6th, 2019, 9:41 pmThanks for a wonderful dessert exchange! Dinner was
delicious and it was nice to meet new people and say hi to some I haven’t seen for a while. Here is the link to the olive oil lemon cake for those who were asking. I baked it for only 30 minutes because I used a 10” springform (and because I lost quite a bit of batter from having the bottom on upside down!). I also poked some tiny holes in it right when it came out and basted a layer of lemon simple syrup I had leftover from a different cake.
