Hi Ladies, I apologize for being absent this past month. Life has been too busy for me to do much baking and I’ve done no blogging. It has been a true pleasure to be a part of PPQ and getting to know you all through your amazing blogs. Thank you Shawnda for shepherding this project through to the end.
And, I’d love to do a part II. The Parties book has some great stuff in it.
Thanks,
~missy

Since this was the last posting, I decided to remake it. However, I took A Gilt of Nutmeg Emily’s suggestion to use peanut butter. I also made it in mini size since it is so rich. Thank you Shawnda. This has been a lot of fun. http://sweet-morris.blogspot.com/2012/08/project-pastry-queen.html

A perfect recipe for coming back to the blogging world and to wrap up PPQ. It’s been fun! http://ruflove.com/2012/08/26/american-beauty-cake/

My husband referred to PPQ as “The Fancy Lady Blog” this evening. When I laughed at him, he said “Queens are fancy so that’s where it came from.” Haha!! Hope you’ve enjoyed being a ‘fancy lady’.

It’s done. And my kitchen is a complete mess: http://www.jasonandshawnda.com/foodiebride/archives/13464/

I’ve been thinking of doing PPQ Part II in a few months, after a break, and working up a different format using the Pastry Queen Parties book. If you’ve never seen the book, it has 6-themed menus (chapters) with ~15 recipes each (check out the TOC preview on Amazon for an idea).
