The best advice I can offer to those who want to bake is to use recipes from professionals who actually bake for a lot of people;ie those in the bakery or restaurant business. Many editors of women's magazines produce recipes that meet certain criteria; a product has to be visually appealing and easy to make. Flavor is way down the list of priorities. <BR/>However, bakers and authors Gale Gand, Jacques Torres, and Sherry Yard, for example, work for very demanding clients and bosses. Their products have been tested over many years, and are really foolproof, elegant, and delicious. <BR/> Feel free to email me at ascorbate@aol.com. Thanks again!
