CakeSpy Note: OMG! The 46th Annual Pillsbury Bake-Off is coming! Since I so deeply loved attending the 45th Bake-Off, I thought I would get you excited early by sharing some of the finalists' recipes. Do I need to tell you that the winner will receive one million dollars? My posting is on hyperdrive since the event is less than a week a day--check back often, because I will be posting three recipes a day until the big event! You can follow them by clicking the bakeoff tag below the post to see which ones have been posted so far. Enjoy!
It's possible that this is the most beautiful breakfast food I've ever in my life seen. Kristen Abbott of Paoli, Pennsylvania is to blame for the extreme pleasure that is Boston Cream French Toast. Perfect for brunch!
