This is my collection of
Daring Bakers challenges.
Click on pictures to see more info.
The Daring Bakers were
an international group
of bakers, who baked the
same recipe together,
each month.
Members took turns to
challenge their fellow bakers.
Everyone posted results
the 27th of the month on a blog.
