The Baking Society
We bake and blog (and eat). Though baking takes up a lot more of our life than blogging.

Baked Bakeware is Here
September 28, 2012 / By Matt
We are about to burst. Our excitement levels have not been this high since the day we opened our Brooklyn store and published our first book. We feel like we are emanating rainbows and unicorns and Santa Claus and shining stars. Let me take a breath and explain. We obviously love dessert – caramel runs…

LaBelle and Heaven
September 27, 2012 / By jordan
I’m guilty. I sing, I sing a lot, and I sing in public. Often. I let loose in the shower, on my walk to the subway, and always (ALWAYS) while I cook and bake. Music is a constant in my kitchen. Always has been. And most of the time it was Patti LaBelle-centric. I have…

My Favorite Ingredients – Peanut Butter, Banana, Chocolate, and Honey
September 26, 2012 / By diana
I’ve never been good at picking favorites. Don’t ask me my favorite movie, book, or color – when forced to choose, I can’t promise anything more than a weak answer. I can, however, guarantee a strong headache. When I was younger, I could spend hours filling out chain e-mail surveys sent to me by my…

Salt ‘n’ caramel.
September 25, 2012 / By amy
I have always loved caramel. It’s slightly rich, totally buttery and luxuriously smooth. My love is so great I don’t even mind that it gets completely stuck to my teeth – that’s just one of its many charms. In my youth I was known to snack on the Kraft caramels that are available this time…

A Whole Bunch of Ways to Get Baked This Fall
September 21, 2012 / By Matt
I am impatiently waiting for Fall to arrive. Not the pre-determined calendar date (which is apparently Sept 22nd 10:49AM for those keeping track), but “Fall” as in apple-picking, leaf-changing, soup-making, bread-baking, cake-making “Fall”. Fall means I can rotate hoodies back into my wardrobe, and I can ride the subway again without fear of aroma-induced nausea….

Well, Hello Dolly!
September 20, 2012 / By jordan
If there is something Dolly hasn’t mastered, I am unaware of it. She is a talented singer, actress, songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, philanthropist, cook, author, and theme park kingpin (the female Walt Disney). If she were to become a master skydiver, I would not be surprised. Before I ever ventured down south, Dolly was my gateway to…

Make It Malted
September 19, 2012 / By diana
I’m on a malted mission. Fate (aka a co-worker) handed me two brimming quarts of malt powder (the unsellable remainders of an exploded bulk package) and I took them. In return, I accepted a challenge to make use of otherwise-trash: to feature malt as the star ingredient in delicious, nutritious eats. Okay, so I’m…

Spiral Cheddar Loaves
September 18, 2012 / By amy
Cheese. Let’s talk about it. It’s pretty much the best thing ever right? I love all varieties from the finest triple cream brie to casual colby jack – I don’t discriminate. They’re all so salty, creamy and satisfying. And how do we feel about bread? Yea, bread’s not bad either. So naturally the right thing…

Channeling my Inner Housewife with Pignolis
September 13, 2012 / By jordan
Sunday nights are full of drama at my house: family feuds, table flipping, hair pulling, name calling, and rivers of tears. And I love it. Thankfully, the theatrics are confined to my television screen courtesy Bravo’s Real Housewives of New Jersey. At the center of this drama-filled storm is Teresa Giudice – mom, personality, and…

If It’s Hot and You Know It
September 12, 2012 / By diana
Guys! Is it really September? What’s up with this hot and sticky weather? The heat makes me so boola boola, sasparoola. You can have the chocolate, I’ll take vanoola. Do you get where I’m going here? No? Need a hint? Ok — think ice cream. Think about how you love ice cream so much you scream…
