I’ll try and do this as a regular feature each week and see how it works out. This is just stuff that I’ve found while cruising the web. The content can be anything here – from fine pastry to mealtime, from the sublime and seductive to the absurd and abnormal, from heavy duty learning to the insane and ridiculous. Old posts or new, anything goes here. Here’s the roundup of things I’ve stumbled across during the past week.
Peppermint Marshmallow Surprise Cookies from Barbara Bakes
Mini Cherry Pies from Adventuress Heart
Cakes that are weird. Not exotic, not unique, not nerdy, but weird. Some of the stuff here is downright creepy.
A really beautiful white and faux diamond wedding cake here. They should really be View postproud of this one!
Pumpkin Profiteroles with a Process Video from PastryChefOnline
Santa and Elf Cookies and Decorating Practice – Very cute and good if you are new to piping and decorating
Maybe not fine cuisine but here are some Mountain Dew Pancakes. Yeah, I’d try this.
Grilled Ham, Cheese, Pickle, and Potato Chip Sandwich – Gotta be my favorite this week from Joy the Baker
Autumn Fruit Tart Recipe from Land O Lakes
Martha Stewart’s Alsatian Potato Pie by SippitySup
Thanksgiving Cooking Videos from The Food Network
Buddy Valastro’s (The Cake Boss) Turkey Cake and Other Sweets on YouTube – Just gotta love Buddy! The ABC News crew tries to decorate a cake. Hardly instructional but you’ll get the idea and it’s fun too.
Another Turkey cake in youtube that almost anyone can do if you have pastry bags and tips. Pretty cool.
Braiding a 6 Strand Challah on youtube – this is the method that I use.
Ed. Note: And here’s a last minute addition Today the Parade Magazine cover feature was Oh, My! Pie! Here is the main link to the feature, and here is a link to the Pie Recipes.

Thanks for the great links. I especially love those pumpkin profiteroles – that’s a dessert I would gladly skip pie for. Thanks for including my cookies!
