Cooking for Dad Week

I'll be in Hope for the week, cooking and baking for my Dad's 94th birthday July 23. I'll check in to the blog and try to catch up with some of the questions from vacation three weeks ago but please don't count on me for immediate responses!

Bake fruit pies!

i'll be posting the whole menu with photos in sept!

What did you make for the birthday dinner?

Happy Birthday to your Dad, Rose, from Bonnie Scotland! Hope you all have a wonderful day. It's my friend/neighbour's birthday today too and I made Golden Grand Marnier cake with the chocolate glaze of course.

Wow - 94 and still a great appetite. I hope I'll be so lucky.

According to The Cake Bible, large tunnels are created by over mixing the batter, or baking in an oven that's too hot.

Hello!
Chocolate cake problem. Bakes nicely at 350. When I cut into it, the top caves in (creating an avalanche of crumbs because there is a tunnel/hole in the middle of the cake. Does anyone have any idea why this occuring? Suggestions to remedy? Thank you!

Our friend Denise, posing in between Dad and I. Her flan is so spectacular and consistent. Fragile and smooth, just enough hold to slice and serve. She claims is due to this pan she has been using for over 20 years. My recipe is based on hers, and that evening I was 2nd place. I NEVER make flan when Denise is around!!! Rose has a flan recipe in Rose's Melting Pot, I haven't tried yet, but reads similar to mine's. Rose quotes the benefits of using canned milk to the most possible creaminess. Also one of my Peruvian cookbooks quotes leaving the flan in the pan for 1 or 2 days in the refrigerator for maximum caramel release.

So who won the flan contest?

What a remarkable birthday!!! and thanks for sharing. Happy birthday to the man.

Here is the cake of my Dad when he turned 50, back in 1987. Also, picture of my family's flan contest in 2002: Dad with Josephine on the left, me in the middle.

I've been baking pies for years but a while back my brother(age 87) said his neighbor baked him a raisin pie and the crust tasted more like a cookie.(I make him pies often)I went to all recipes and several others and tried some and they are all crumbly and you can't cut the pie without it falling to pieces also hard to roll out.does anyone know a fool proof recipe like he is talking about?
