August Daring Baker's Challenge - Option B: Baked Alaska!

So, I'm behind yet again, but I will have some very adorable mini baked alaskas (or is the plural "Alaska" like the plural of fish is "fish"?). The week has smashed in on me, and the stuff is still sitting in the fridge, but rest assured, there will be mini baked alaska in the near future.

The August 2010 Daring Bakers’ challenge was hosted by Elissa of 17 and Baking. For the first time, The Daring Bakers partnered with Sugar High Fridays for a co-event and Elissa was the gracious hostess of both. Using the theme of beurre noisette, or browned butter, 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. The sources for Elissa’s challenge were Gourmet magazine and David Lebovitz’s “The Perfect Scoop”.

I'll bet you can't wait to see the awesome!

On another note, the ice cream cake went over well! Pictures to follow, when my pain in the butt camera is working.
