Introducing the BEB Monthly Bake-Along!
It's a brand new year and I'm introducing a brand new series here on Brown Eyed Baker that's going to kick off this coming Monday, January 7th… the BEB Bake-Along!
This is exactly what it sounds like – each month we are going to bake right along with each other! I'll select a recipe and post it on the first Monday of the month, along with a video and tons of tips, and invite you to try it at some point throughout the month and share your results!
MORE DETAILS
- I've selected recipes that are in the intermediate level to help us stretch our baking muscles together. Doing monthly baking challenges was one of the catalysts for me to start blogging in the first place (shout out to the original Daring Baker challenges!), and I loved the little bit of a challenge they provided, so I'm hoping to pay that forward with these monthly bake-alongs.
- I would love, love, love for you to share your results so I can see them! If you're on Instagram, tag #BEBbakealong so I can see them (you can also follow @thebrowneyedbaker while you're at it!); and if you hang out on Facebook, share your photos to the Brown Eyed Baker Friends Facebook group. If you don't do social, snap a picture and email me! :)
- I'm going to try (key word "try" with unpredictable children!) to post some live videos on Instagram of me making the recipe throughout the month so you can see it happening in real-time! I'll be sure to let you know when those are going to happen so you can check it out :)
- I’ll also be sharing your photos on Instagram and Facebook, so use that hashtag when you share on your accounts so I can see them and share with others!
- Most of all, I want this to be FUN! I want us to rally around each other and tackle something together, help each other troubleshoot, and celebrate everyone's kitchen successes.
As I said, I'll be posting the new BEB Bake-Along recipes on the first Monday of every month, but I'll also be sending along a few specific Bake-Along emails throughout the month with reminders, encouragement, and troubleshooting tips, as well as an end-of-the-month wrap up where I'll feature reader photos and feedback (and possibly some giveaway opportunities!).

I am SO excited to kick off this baking series with you, and can't wait to see your creations!
Be sure to check back on Monday for January's recipe!
I made the Gougeres exactly as directed using King Arthur All-Purpose flour. They turned out excellent. Better than expected.
This is unrelated to the bae along although I love the idea and will follow. I am making the cupcakes for my daughters wedding. She loves my cupcakes and they are always your recipes. However my son in law to be loves marble cake. I’ve seen other recipes but I trust your option and I love your vanilla and chocolate cupcakes. Do you have an option on the best way to do a marble cupcake?
This sounds like fun – I am just not sure how to sign up for the emails for the baking challenge?
Hi,
I hope i can do this! Bake along with you. I’d love too, only i’ve had a sort of an accident. I did fall on both my knees and they’re bruisend and very sore just as my ankle. The fysiotherapist tape-deck my ankle today but i also broke 2 little bones just above my toes (the last 2) and that has to heal on its own. So standing up and walking is an issue at the moment. I hope it heal quickly so that i can join you in baking! I never made this be4, so i’d looooove to try it. I hope and pray i can do this on time for this months challenge. I filled my email adress in but if you don’t recieve a picture from me, you’ll know why. I just want to let you know. Thanks for reading and i hope i can bake along with you too!
Till next time,
Marja
This is something I’ve had bookmarked for so long to try. Thank you for the motivation and hand-holding!!
