Finally the stars aligned and I set up a time for my baker friends and I to bake and enjoy the fruits of our labor. I was happy to host and made 4 things— Currant Scones, Double Ginger Scones, Jalapeño Cheese Biscuits with Bacon and Eggs, Key Lime Croissants with Torched Italian Meringue, and Pumpkin Macaron Cake with Pumpkin Caramel and Vanilla Swiss Meringue Buttercream. My friends brought Savory Tartines, Oatmeal Cookie Sandwiches, Apple Charlottes with Crème Anglaise, Pumpkin Croissant Bread Pudding with Caramel and Whipped Cream, Pissaladiere with Olives and Mushrooms, Walnut Cookies, Dubai Chocolate Cheesecake Cups, and Banana Bread.

I also had a Matcha Bar with house made Banana Milk and Strawberry Purée.

    This is so fun! I’ve been thinking about hosting a home cafe for months now, but I’d have to make everything since all of my friends aren’t bakers. lol
