July starts tomorrow, so I thought I’d post about our Bake-Off topic.  Last month we had several votes in favor of a seasonal fruit theme, so let’s do it!  Could be pies, cakes, bread, ice cream, anything that’s a Rose recipe and incorporates seasonal fruit.  Berry picking, anyone? 

For August, I’m wondering if we might take a month off, I know I will have very little time to bake (no summer camps or school for the little one).  What do you all think?  Then we could start back up again in September, maybe with chocolate (other theme suggestions most welcome!).

If anyone missed the completed June Buttercream Bake-Off, here it is:  http://www.realbakingwithrose.com/index_ee.php/forums/viewthread/2383/

I’m looking forward to the July Bake-Off, still not sure of what to make but I’m excited anyway .

Julie, you mentioned ice cream. Does Rose have an ice cream recipe?

Hiatus for August is fine by me, whatever the majority wants .

Chocolate for September sounds good, we haven’t done chocolate this year right?

my entry will be mango roses.  http://www.hawaiihealthguide.com/healthtalk/display.htm?id=853&hhsid=ce282834f074357ef09214d37ebbada8

There’s a mango festival in Hawaii?!?!

I think it’s time for me to move there…. 

details to follow, answer is YES.

Julie, you mentioned ice cream. Does Rose have an ice cream recipe?

On p. 285 of the Cake Bible, including variations on the following page, and then there are a handful of recipes in the Pie/Pastry Bible.

Julie, here is the announcement:

Hector invites you to the 2010 Mango Festival, held on Saturday July 31st, at the Outrigger Keauhou Beach Resort, in Kona, Hawaii.

http://www.hawaiihealthguide.com/healthtalk/display.htm?id=853&hhsid=ce282834f074357ef09214d37ebbada8

There will be something for everyone:  for farmers, chefs, children, and the general public.  There is no admission fee.

Hector will demonstrate how the Rose World Cake was conceived.

p.s.  if you need more than 1 week of mango talks, be sure to also attend the Mangoes at the Moana festival held the following Saturday, August 7th at the Westin Moana Surfrider Resort, in Honolulu, Hawaii.  Details to follow.

Looks great, H!  Love the photo of your mango heart cake, just perfect!  Wish I were local and could attend…
