Chocolate Covered Alfajores

February 16, 2017 by Beth Meyer

Chocolate Covered Alfajores

For this week’s #BakingWithBeth, we’re recreating one of the most delicious cookies encountered in my travels – chocolate covered alfajores. We first discovered chocolate covered alfajores in Pichilemu during our two week stay at a family run hostel in Chile. The town of Pichilemu is known for the black beaches and waves. One of the many […]

Italian Macarons

Italian Macarons

Early this week, I shared the backstory and history of my love affair with macarons and today for #BakingWithBeth recipe number six, I’m going to share my go-to Italian macaron recipe. As well as my favorite macarons I’ve ever created. There will also be a bonus recipe with my go-to French macaron recipe in the coming days. Macaron comes from the Italian […]

My Love Affair with Macarons

February 7, 2017 by Beth Meyer

My Love Affair with Macarons

To fully appreciate a story, I feel like it helps to understand the history. This is the backstory behind my love affair with macarons and how it all began. Like all good love affairs, this story involves indulgence, excitement, frustration, tears and, of course, Paris! I remember the first time I ate a macaron. It […]

The Best Chocolate Chip Cookie

February 2, 2017 by Beth Meyer

The Best Chocolate Chip Cookie

In my life PPS (pre-pastry school), I had two goals that I never waivered from. Get a turkey in bowling and create the best chocolate chip cookie recipe. I suppose something as subjective as making the best chocolate chip cookie isn’t an ideal goal, but there are few things in life better than a delicious, warm chocolate […]

Pineapple Upside Down Cake

January 26, 2017 by Beth Meyer

Pineapple Upside Down Cake

For the fourth installment of the #BakingWithBeth series, we’re sticking with the classic, old-fashion cake theme one more time and making a pineapple upside down cake. There will still be more cake throughout the series. And likely Definitely more cakes from old southern and church cookbook recipes. As I’ve let nostalgia guide the beginning of the series, week four is […]

Sour Cream Pound Cake

January 20, 2017 by Beth Meyer

Sour Cream Pound Cake

There are some cakes I’ve eaten all my life but never actually baked myself. Mainly because those have tended to be ones baked my mom, or grandmother, or great aunt, or cousin. Sour cream pound cake is one of those cakes. Another cake on regular rotation at the homes of G-mama, Aunt Merle & Annie […]

Hummingbird Cake

January 13, 2017 by Beth Meyer

Hummingbird Cake

For the second installment of #BakingWithBeth, I decided to bake a Hummingbird Cake. Originally the plan was a sour cream pound cake, but the UPSP has my pound cake pan held hostage somewhere between Atlanta and Los Angeles, so that will have to be saved for another week. A Hummingbird Cake seemed like a natural substitute – […]

Southern Caramel Cake

January 7, 2017 by Beth Meyer

Southern Caramel Cake

Here’s goes nothing. It’s the first #BakingWithBeth recipe challenge – a traditional southern caramel cake. Picking out the first recipe was easy, as I wanted to go with a family recipe. One that reminded me of growing up in the South. A caramel cake does just that. When I was little, we’d go down to South Georgia […]

Adventures in Pastry Pop-Ups

Adventures in Pastry Pop-Ups

My friends at the King of Pops agreed to my pitch of a holiday pastry pop-up while I was home in December. It would take place at their King of Crops Farm Stand at Ponce City Market, which sells local Georgia produced goods. The #BakingWithBeth concept was born following recent trips to Reno and London. Planning for […]

#BakingWithBeth

When I moved back to Los Angeles, I had the specific goal of finding a job as a pastry chef at a restaurant. I felt that it was the best place to continue to build on my technical skills and I could improve in a faster period of time. At the end of November, my […]
