World Baking Day 2014 : Lets Bake A Long

Its World Baking Day and so lets get baking together!

Its World Baking Day on 18th May, so get baking folks. Bake for your loved ones, a cookie, a cake, a brownie. Anything you fancy. Who wants to do a bake along? I will post a recipe tomorrow morning and we all bake and post pictures?

I asked this on my FB page yesterday and the response I got was very encouraging. So here I am with a list of 10 recipes that I found interesting and exciting to bake, you can choose from these or you can pick something you have bookmarked long ago but the idea is to bake and post pictures.

If you have a blog I will do a post on 18th morning and add a linky to it, you can link my post and add your post to the linky. If you don’t have a blog no problems still. You can post a picture on FB event, here is the event link. Or tag us on twitter at @monikamanchanda or on instagram as @monikamanchanda.

So get set baking.

1\. Apple Pie Bread** – This is a recipe I have tried myself and its delightful. Its like the easiest Apple Pie ever.

10\. Brown Butter and Almond Blondies**  – Blondies are my second favorite thing to eat after brownies. I love their texture and the fact that anything non chocolate can surprise you so pleasantly.

11\. Quiché Lorraine** – There is Quiche, there is bacon what else does one need. This is one for all those who want to make a pasrty and veggies you can skip the bacon, the recipe works without it too.
