25th Dessert Exchange - Sunday, January 15th @ 5:00 pm

If it's winter, that means a suburban-based dessert exchange. I'll be hosting and can accomodate a total of ten participants. I'll provide a light supper, vegetarian if called for. Everyone is to brong one dessert that has approximately 10 - 12 servings. Remember to bring at least a couple of continers in which to bring home your booty/bounty. I live near Oakbook Shopping Center and will PM the address in the week prior to the event.

You can naver go wrong with chocolate pie! See you then.

I would like to join the group. I will probably bring a bundt cake.

Thanks for hosting. I would love to come. I don't yet know what I will be making, but
will post soon.

My Jan 15th is open! Not sure yet what I'll make/bring. I'll let you know when I decide. Thanks for hosting!

My pleasure. I'm trying to set up a soup exchange, but haven't heard from Dobra.

I am also bringing a chocolate item. After the absence of them at the last exchange............

A chocolate Bundt cake or something else chocolate?

A chocolate bundt cake I have been making since the 1970s.

Count SueF in -- she's not sure what she's bringing, but it's probably pie shaped

And I recall she's partial to chocolate.

I am going to make a spicy carrot cake. Usually I make it without frosting, but if that doesn't fly, I could do the traditional cream cheese, or maybe step out and do chocolate? Hmmmm?

I LOVE carrot cake, with or without the cream cheese frosting. Don't know about chocolate though...

I think I can make it to this one.

It will be great to have you back.

I'm attempting to make a weird thing. It's called a Chocolate, Pear & Almond Flan, but it's baked in a cake-like crust and it shows a serving cut out and plated with chocolate sauce. An exact recipe found in another book by the same company calls it Chocolate, Pear & Almond Pie. So gosh darn it, it's pie.

Sounds like a south of the border pie.

Update from SueF: She's been reading the Momofuku Milk Bar cookbook, and is trying to figure out which treat from there to make. She's been reading me tidbits on some of these things and it's pretty crazy stuff (no surprise coming from David Chang's food empire). Her order from Amazon including citric acid, corn flour and glucose syrup just arrived.

hi, i'd like to come. i'm still thinking cranberries, since chocolate seems to be covered, but i'm not sure...justjoan

Glad to have you Joan. I was going to message you to see if you were able to come.

I'm going to make apple turnovers.

I will bring some cooked ones to cut up and share, and the take-home ones uncooked and frozen. They are very easy to cook in a toaster oven, so they are hot and fresh for breakfast.

Cool!

Hi,

I was thinking of making the same cranberry cake I made last month using revised baking temperature cycles from Dobra. If that is a snore, I will make something else.

I liked it very much, so it will be interesting to see the difference.

I will be making Moosewoods Mushroom Pie for dinner.

Don't know how I missed your post. I just added you to the list. Sorry.

As it turns out, I won't be able to be there tonight. I did something bad to my back.

Sorry to hear that. Joan isn't feeling well either. Hope to see you soon. Are you available next weekend for the soup exchange? One spot left!

Someone take the pics please.

At this point, I'm hoping to make a year without dessert, so perhaps I will join you in May.

8+months & counting without cake,cookie, ice cream, candy, pie.
