OVERCOMING THE FEAR OF HIGH-ALTITUDE BAKING

I admit, it can be terrifying – and utterly frustrating. Flat and fallen cakes. Or cakes that seem to refuse to rise at all. Or cookies that start out looking glorious but all of a sudden...splat! Grrrrr!

And all of you wonderful bakers from Connecticut and New York and those great Mid-West Country Fair states and Michigan and Texas have just plain given up baking altogether. It's just not worth the frustration and all that wasted butter and sugar. Yup, I hear you.

But, after tonight you can reclaim the joys of baking all your favorite recipes. And, the thing is, it's really just a wee bit of food chemistry and a bit of tweaking here and there.

We'll bake some cakes and cookies to 7,200 foot perfection– and I'll have the milk and coffee on. Bring a couple of your favorite recipes that haven't been working for you and we'll make them perfect again too!
