Blog Profiles: Baking Blogs

Welcome to Blog Profiles! Each week, we select a topic and handful of blogs that do a great job contributing to the conversation. This week’s list is all about a few scrumptious baking blogs. Do you have a blog that deserves recognition? Tweet our writers at @BeyondBylines.

The leaves are turning, and warm homemade treats on a cold day are so inviting.

This time of year makes me think of apple pies and cookies straight out of the oven.

Read on for inspiring recipes to keep your mood and kitchen toasty.

1. I Am Baker

Amanda created her blog as a communal space for recipes and kitchen stories.

Pumpkin Earthquake Cake, Dark Chocolate Cookies with Champagne Buttercream, and Pumpkin Waffles all look great.

Self-taught and addicted to baking, Sally shares her recipes and photos.

Sally lives in Maryland with her husband and two dogs.

6. Joy the Baker

Located in New Orleans, Joy is a “self-taught baker, turned professional baker, turned food photographer and cookbook author,” she says on the site.

I recommend reading and trying Lemon Poppy Seed Pancakes and Beer Brownies. Also, “can we turn bananas into cookies?” Joy asks. The answer is YES: Peanut Butter Banana Bonbons.
