Adult cupcake camps & Homeschooling classes
Bake Austin Newsletter
Thank you so much for an amazing summer. The camps were so much fun and I feel very lucky to have had the chance to teach the kids.
Now that school is back in session it is time to have some fun camps for ourselves. That is why we now have the Adult Cupcake Camp Series and we are kicking it of with Cupcake Mandalas on September 24th.
Each camp is 3 hours long and you will leave with cupcakes to share with your friends and family.
Take a look at my website for more information:

I had the honor to make pies for author Edward Carey's book reading at Book People in August and it was so awesome. In his book "Foulsham" he writes about Frolichingham Pie, here is is his description:
“I had Forlichingham Pie too, which, in truth, was not my absolute favourite, the top of it being somewhat burnt according to tradition and the insides rather a swill bucket of left-overs all covered over in sweet black treacle to disguise
the taste. Miss Cruickshanks said that I must eat it all up, she would be cross with me if I didn’t. So then I ate it.”
-Edward Carey
So I came up with the recipe and here it is!
FORLICHINGHAM PIE (ORGINAL BY EDWARD CAREY)
RECIPE BY PASCAL SIMON (BAKE AUSTIN)
12 Tbsp butter, chilled
4 Tbsp vegetable shortening, chilled
2 cups flour
1 tsp kosher salt
1/2 cup ice cold water
Place all the ingredients in a food processor and mix until well combined. Shape dough into a disc and place in the fridge for 30 minutes.
2 cups of fruit (plum, apple, black berries, blue berries, pears, etc)
1 cup of golden syrup (substitute with Molasses if you can't find it)
1 egg
2 Tbsp butter
6 Tbsp bread crumbs
lemon zest of one lemon
3 Tbsp heavy cream
Heat the golden syrup in a pan and take off heat, mix into the syrup everything but the fruit and let it come back to room temperature.
Roll out 1/2 of the cold dough and place into a pie pan. Fill with swill bucket of fruit and then
top with syrup mixture. Cover this with the other half of the pie dough and bake for 30 minutes at 375 degrees Fahrenheit.
