What are you baking today (2025)?

Jessica's birthday cake. I actually baked the cake part yesterday and then it had to sit in the fridge overnight with the jello so that could set. This AM I added the frosting, strawberries, crumbled Golden Oreos, and the cream cheese dribbles.

Gougères, from my new Dorie Greenspan cookybooky:

One read through the cookbook, and it’s obvious she has absolutely no respect for tradition, which makes me love her even more, and about every other recipe, she has a little sidebar extolling readers to put their own stamp on whatever it is she’s making.

I don’t generally like nuts cooked in anything, but I stuck to her recipe, since I’d never made it before (nor have I ever made gougères before…nor had I ever eaten one, as I detest choux pastry), but…the walnuts are so mild and soft, they work really well, so I’d be inclined to make these this way again.
