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

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 […]

Pastries of Paris

August 12, 2015 by Beth Meyer

Pastries of Paris

My dad and stepmom rented an apartment in Paris for the month of June, and since I’m just a short train ride away in London, visiting my family seemed like the perfect reason for a long weekend in the City of Light. That, and eating all the pastries of Paris. You know, for research. One […]

Pastry School Diary: Week 24

Pastry School Diary: Week 24

Well, we’ve done it. Pastry school is half way over and I’ve graduated from the International Patisserie Diploma portion of the course. We now have two weeks off before starting the higher culinary diploma portion of the course. It’s going to feel weird once we go back not to be in the kitchen with the […]

Pastry School Diary: Week 23

I know I keep saying this, but ever since we came back from Christmas, pastry school has been flyyyyying by. This is our second to last week of the International Pastry Diploma portion. It included soufflés, tarts, an exam and lunch at a Michelin-starred restaurant. Tuesday: Lemon Pudding Soufflé, Raspberry Soufflé and Pistachio Soufflé On […]

Pastry School Diary: Week 21

Pastry school week 21 was all about cakes. We made four of them. I arrived back in London Tuesday morning at the start of the school week after an amazing weekend in Charleston; visiting with college friends, family and the wedding celebrations of one of my dearest friends from high school. I even got a […]

Pastry School Diary: Week 18

Week 18 of pastry school was a really up and down week. The week started with an exam, included a mild nervous breakdown in class, afternoon tea at The Ritz and delicious cookies. The week ended on a high note with great news that some of my best friends from college booked their flights to London […]

The week was filled with tarts, ice cream experiments, cookies, chocolate motifs and an exam. Tuesday: Dark Chocolate Coffee Caramel & Walnut Tart, French Apple Tart and Lime & Raspberry Tart On Tuesday we had a […]
