These puppies are very sweet. The dough has both corn syrup and chocolate syrup, and then there are the chocolate chips! Good texture, but too sweet for me.

Cinnamon Buns

I loved the new (to me) second rise method with boiling water in the oven. This is a good cinnamon bun, easy to make, but the cook time is definitely too long (25min for me instead of 45).

The Bread Baker's Apprentice: Mastering the Art of Extraordinary Bread

By Peter Reinhart, Ron Manville
Ten Speed Press - 2001

I love the buns, they are so airy and light. They look and taste very "professionally made." I did use the lemon zest/extract in both the buns and the fondant...and it was a bit much for me (vaguely lemon cleaner) and way too much for my husband. I would definitely make these again, just using vanilla instead of lemon!

This preserve recipe is fairly easy and straightforward. It is just a bit tart (depending on your cherries) and tastes like cherries instead of just sugar! I love this recipe.

This is surprisingly delicious! Next time I'll add one more egg since it was a bit too runny for me...I like a dry sandwich (even egg salad!) but the flavors were amazing. A little bit of arugula is a great addition.
