Scratch Baked Goods

Happy New Year! I know it's been a while, so thanks for hanging in there with me. A lot has changed since we last spoke--most notably, we added another tiny human to the Scratch family. With that, the business of baking has taken a backseat. But, I'm going to try to take this page in a new direction this year, sharing recipes, articles, inspiration and insights from some of my favorite (famous) bakers. And hopefully, posting some insanely delicious pics of Scratch goodies now and then, too. Here's to a belly-warming 2015!

Fresh-baked croissants are a labor of love (and patience). But worth every minute of it.

Our latest invention: Caramel Hazelnut Brownie Torte. It has nothing to do with St. Patrick's Day, but it's still pretty darn delicious.

Happy Valentine's Day, everyone!

That's one delicious animal parade.

Our lovely gift box, complete with Winter Wonder Butter Cookies (with ginger and cardamom), Naughty & Nice Spiced Chocolate Brownie Bites, Once Upon a Pretzels (dipped in chocolate, with toffee and M&Ms), Cranberry Orange Scones, Chocolate Chip Scones, and White Chocolate Caramel Corn. Happy holidays everyone!

Just told one of our gift boxes was "Pinterest-worthy." That's the 2012 equivalent of being called Martha Stewart :) Pics to come later!

Our latest foray into the world of sweets: confections! Hand-dipped pretzel sticks, spiced nuts and custom blended chocolate bars. Who wants some?

Saturday baking experiment: brown butter bars 16 ways. Winner TBD.
