My best friend had her birthday last Friday, no real party just a little get together of four friends. Of course I volunteered to make a birthday cake

This month’s Daring Bakers challenge was an orange tian. I had never heard of tian before so as far as that was concerned the challenge was new.

Little did I know, my interest of the Southern cuisine started early watching American movies where people would order Pecan Pie or Cobbler from their local diner.

The 2010 March Daring Baker’s challenge was hosted by Jennifer of Chocolate Shavings .

Here is the gluten free sablé pastry that I created for a Daring Baker’s challenge. This is a simple sweet pastry which is great for making sweet tart cases or even simple biscuits to serve with rich desserts.
