Hello From NYC #3 – The Short and Sweet List
The past few NYC posts have been rather long, so this time I’m shortening it! Less photos, more eateries! Here I am writing short features for different categories of eateries. As these places are ones I’ve found on-the-go, I had to use my iphone to take pictures, unless I had my camera with me that day.
Daring Bakers Challenge, Pandan Bombe Alaska with Durian & Coconut Icecream
The August 2010 Daring Bakers’ challenge was hosted by Elissa of 17 and Baking. Elissa chose to challenge Daring Bakers to make a pound cake to be used in either a Baked Alaska or in Ice Cream Petit Fours.
