Chapter 7
bold baking basics
Over the years, I’ve found myself making and using many basic components over and over again. Some are simply essential, like Best-Ever Buttercream Frosting and Cream Cheese Glaze. Some will help if you run out of something and can’t get to the store, like DIY Buttermilk or DIY Brown Sugar. Some taste better than what you can find at the store, like Never-Fail Pie Crust and Foolproof Puff Pastry. And some will actually save you money, like DIY Vanilla Extract. All of these are used one way or another in the book and once you master them, you’ll be a better and more confident Bold Baker.
