bake day 2007

My cooking partner Sarah and I decided that we would continue on in tradition and make our assortment of baked goods for the holidays this year....our favorite and a tradition and recipe handed down from my family is the beloved Almond Roca. I attempted to take precaution by wearing a long sleeve shirt in case steaming hot melted butter popped out of the pan.....but this is what happened when a huge splat of boiling butter shot out and got caught between the protective layer and my skin....and continued to cook! it took over 12 hrs for the burn to subside and that was with it on ice that entire time. But I have to say...I would do it again....it is the best almond roca ever!!!
