This is a great list!! I recently made macaroons that actually turned out really well. Now I’m trying to work up the courage to bake croissants :)

Have you tried eggless baking? Cheesecakes, cookies, doughnuts, pies?

When I was a freshman in college I decided I was going to make some chocolate croissants. I have to admit having never made anything as complicated as delicate, flaky French pastry before they turned out fantastic. I would suggest you look at the recipe from “King Arthur Flour Baker’s Companion” which you can find here (http://www.amazon.com/King-Arthur-Flour-Bakers-Companion/dp/0881505811/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1322013377&sr=8-1). The recipe was really thorough and explained the process for folding the butter into the dough quite well. I would suggest you take a look at it before you take on croissants. I look forward to reading about your adventures with the French pastry in the future, no matter which recipe you choose :)

Mochi is super easy to make. It’s very sticky and will give your arm muscles a good workout, but it’s definitely worth making yourself!

This is regarding your chocolate rose item on the wishlist. They are Suuuuper easy :D I followed a Youtube vid when I wanted to make mine and it turned out wonderfully. I forget the exact recipe but it was melted chocolate waffers mixed with corn syrup. Put the mixture on seran wrap and into the fridge until cooled.. than break apart little bits and form into petal shapes, and wrap them around themselves slightly over lapping into a rose shape :D SO pretty and fun to do! I’m going to try and hunt for the youtube vid tonight (no access while at work) but Man oh Man you should try it :D Too pretty for words.

I saw a recipe from your blog posted on Boston.com for a Rasberry no bake icebox cake. Do you still have that recipe posted somewhere? It looked delicious! Please share!
