Living alone now except for assorted critters, it doesn't make sense to bake those decadent things and eat them all myself. I do enjoy eating desserts like those. I'm so glad I have a sister and a sister-in-law who do bake like that and have their siblings down often enough so I get to enjoy their culinary labors.Gloria Aldenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13581719606924364447noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-993649290245605005.post-20299248509869360982015-04-27T11:02:08.622-04:002015-04-27T11:02:08.622-04:00Sounds wonderful, but I am too hungry now to write...Sounds wonderful, but I am too hungry now to write more.

I used to collect cookbooks, but I'm trying to downsize--this one might tempt me. Patterson's recipe looks might good to me.<br /><br />I like your "stunt baker" concept, but I have no problems in the kitchen with the exception of sugar/chocolate. I haven't mastered the art of tempering, which is essential in working with chocolate--not Patterson's recipe, but for molded chocolates. I've decided I'd rather let others do that and buy them. <br /><br />I do make caramels at Christmas, the recipe for which a friend and I had to roll an old lady to get before she died. Of course, the instructions leave a lot to be desired and shows her reluctance to hand over the recipe. Such spite. We only roughed her up a little.E. B.
