After sifting through the many piles of cook books at the chaotic Borders store closing sale, I found the latest addition to my cookbook collection: Baked Explorations by Matt Lewis and Renato Poliafito. I couldn’t wait to try the recipes that were beautifully laid out in the book. Sadly, the book sat on my bakers rack for a few months before I had the time to make my first treat from the book for a house warming party. I chose the caramel apple cake. Since I work full time and needed the cake ready by Saturday afternoon, I split the prep in 3 days. It was a project! But the result was well worth the effort: a moist, spicy cake with an addictive light buttery caramel frosting. I was resolved to try more baking projects from Baked Explorations and to see how other’s had fared with their caramel apple cake. I randomly came across a Blog for those baking from the same book and sharing their experiences called Club: BAKED. Perfect! I hope to bake along with them on their schedule and create some magnificent goodies.
