Confection's of a Closet Master Baker-Golden Eggs

I know that I had promised to post this yesterday, and I had every intention of doing so, but that didn't work out.  This is the first recipe in the book and in my opinion it was a great one to start out with. Gesine (pronounced Geh-see-neh) called this a magic recipe and I agree with her, it is magic in that it tastes like a fried doughnut while it is not fried, it is baked. They have my favorite spice in them-nutmeg, 5 eggs and a lot of butter. This recipe alone is worth the price of the book, but I can tell you that the rest of the recipes look to be as good a this one.  I look forward to making them all.  If you buy the book, make sure you read the story that leads up to each recipe, you will be glad you did.

I have been reading this book and I LOVE it!  I have decided that I am going to make all of the recipes in the book.  There are only 18, so itwill not take too long to do them all.  I am thinking about one a week until they are all done.  The recipes look great, mostly from German heritage, I think.  The writing is as good as the recipes and it has truly been a joy to read.  Please join me if you want to  do some great baking, and read some really good writing about food and a look behind the Hollywood scene.  I wont give anyhting away about who this author is related to, because I was really surprised when I started reading, and it hit me who she was.  I think the surprise added to why I like this book so much.  Now, you may be quicker on that than I was, but wether you are surprised or not, I promise you that you will enjoy this book.  My start date for the first recipe will be April 10, 2010 and will shoot for every Saturday after that.  The first recipe is called Golden Eggs, I will not post the recipes inhopes that folks will want to buy the book so they van make the recipes.  It will be nice if you can post your photo's on your blog, but if you don't have a blog, you can just leave a comment about your experience at the end of this post.  Please email me at lalas@cableone.net if you want to participate.
