Sometimes, just sometimes, I really do impress myself. This cake was a labor of love and an attempt to prove to myself that I can in fact make intricate designs out of sponge cake. A three level vanilla cake topped with a decorated sponge, filled with alternating layers of raspberry puree, raspberry bavarois, lime curd and buttercream frosting, this sexy little (not so little) cake is my crowning jewel. #homebaker #homebaking #amateurbaker #spongecake #vanillacake #raspberrybavarois #limecurd #buttercream #decoratedspongecake #gbbo #americanbakingshow #baker #cake #letmeeatcake #greatamericanbakingshow #greatbritishbakeoff #bakeoff #greatbritishbakingshow #showstopper #bavarois #onyourmarksgetsetbake by @ericadiuliobakes

Y’all-for the first time in my long Italian life I actually made homemade pasta!!!! My ancestors were smiling down on me throughout the seamless process and the end result was some of the best pasta I have ever had! Thank you once again to @preppykitchen for your AMAZING recipes and all your help in my baking process. I’m not sure you know just how much you have done for me.

And unto you I present this cinnamon bun birthday cake! Three tiers of cinnamon buns-the bottom one with a cream cheese frosting, the middle and top with a marscapone frosting and the very top with a dusting of dark chocolate. I wonder what everyone else is gonna eat? #cinnamonbunbirthdaycake #homebaker #bakeoff #cinnamonbuns #saveroomfordessert by @ericadiuliobakes

Tis a bountiful harvest! Last year I threw all the old pumpkins from Halloween behind my shed. I thought deer and critters would eat them. They nibbled. Then this summer a whole freaking pumpkin patch grew! Shock and awe set in. The patch became my baby. Now she has produced 3 incredible gourds and there are several more on the way! God I love fall. #pumpkinpatch #surprisepumpkinpatch #gourds #iamanautumn #oopsallpumpkins by @ericadiuliobakes

Aldi now has specialty peanut butter cups in stock, so I grabbed two bags and got to work on some peanut butter to the max cookies. A peanut butter cookie made with browned butter, then filled with peanut butter cups, dark chocolate chips , peanut butter chips and chocolate/peanut butter candies. Did I mention these cookies have peanut butter? #peanutbuttercookies #cookieweek #homebaker #chocolatepeanutbuttercookies #saveroomfordessert by @ericadiuliobakes

When tiramisu and cinnamon buns love each other very much and want to have a baby, they make tiramisu cinnamon buns! A forbidden romance that results in an insanely delicious treat. Vanilla dough with a swirl of cinnamon, allspice and instant espresso powder, baked in a coffee heavy cream glaze and topped with a sweet marscapone frosting and a dusting of dark cocoa powder. Is it breakfast? Is it dessert? Yes. #cinnamonbuns #tiramisu #tiramisucinnamonbuns #hombaker #saveroomfordessert by @ericadiuliobakes

What if I told you a fresh, artisanal loaf of bread can be a part of your dinner every single night (if you’d like) and the whole process is about 3 hours? I’m talking start to slice. From knead to feed. From mix to mouth. This is my absolute FOOL PROOF artisanal loaf, and if you have 4 ingredients in your house (one of them is water) then you’re ready to go!

450 grams bread flour (3 & 3/4 cup)
11 g instant yeast
2 tsp salt
360 grams warm water (1 & 1/2 cup)

Mix everything together in a bowl until all combined. Cover and set in a warm spot in your kitchen til it doubles in size. About 2 hours.

Once doubled do stretch and folds 8-10 times or until the dough holds.

Preheat a Dutch oven in your oven to 450 degrees and let sit in the oven for 20-30 min.

Place dough onto a floured surface and knead until smooth. Put the dough on a piece of parchment, sprinkle with flour and cover with the bowl from earlier for 10-20 min.

Score bread with a simple slice to create an ear, carefully place the parchment and dough into the Dutch oven and bake with the lid on for 30 min.

Remove lid and bake for another 15 min.

Cool and enjoy!

Sometimes I have an idea for a cake so absurdly naughty that I can’t even believe my mind created such a thing. Jk. My mind is a haunted theme park. For my main course dessert (yes it’s a thing) I made a three tier dark chocolate cake with layers of dulce de leche, sea salt caramel and vanilla bean Italian meringue butter cream. Decorated with crushed speculoos cookies and autumn sprinkles this is the cake that will usher in fall with its proper, filthy authority. #homebaker #speculooscookies #bakeoff #gbbo #saveroomfordessert by @ericadiuliobakes

Fall baking is in full swing, and tonight I finished up some filled Italian cookies. A butter and almond cookie filled with (do I have to say it) homemade mixed berry jam, and dipped in dark chocolate. I am hosting a kickboxing appreciation get together tomorrow, and this is dessert one of three done for the day. Stay tuned for more 🎃🍪🎂🥮🍮 #homebaker #filleditaliancookies #homemadejam #fallbaking #saveroomfordessert by @ericadiuliobakes

Omg, I feel like I have just summoned my inner 1950’s house wife with these pineapple upside down cupcakes and coconut cupcakes. Very @bdylanhollis vibe. My sister asked for me to contribute luau themed desserts for her Saturday party, and what says tropical more than pineapple and coconut? Both are a vanilla base with coconut milk and various extracts. The pineapple started with a brown sugar butter sauce and they are topped with my white chocolate butter cream. I also recently learned the best piping hack, so next time I make a video I’ll include that 🧁 happy baking y’all! #homebaker #retrobaking #pineappleupsidedowncupcakes #coconutcupcakes #saveroomfordessert by @ericadiuliobakes
