A few weeks ago we joined the 2023 Great Bloggers’ Bake Off. An online competition open to anyone on WordPress. Bread, pies and cakes, savoury or sweet, all home baked by many talented bloggers. This year the theme was Express Yourself. Our submission was a Pear and Almond Pie.
Joining the competition turned out to be great fun. We saw some exceptional bakes and intriguing combinations. All these great bakes can be found on Mel’s blog. The result of the Bake Off is available on A Jeanne in the Kitchen.
Our Favourites
- Irene Arita’s Zucchini Squares, made with cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger and vanilla. Beautifully decorated with zucchini flowers made with marzipan. The pictures in the post will help you recreate the flowers.
- The Spicy Veggie Strudel made by Kevin looks very tempting and the combination of ingredients (mushrooms, celery, cumin, coriander, tomatoes, kidney beans) sounds great. One we will definitely try.
- And, obviously, the winner of the 2023 Great Bloggers’ Bake Off: a beautiful classic French Fraisier, made by Sheree. Very nicely piped Crème Mousseline, the strawberries halved and the decoration lovely.
PS
We are very happy to win the award in the Pie category! Baking is not something we do on a daily basis, so winning the award encourages us to focus more on baking.
congrats, I remember seeing that and your pie looked wonderful
