The Baking Podcast

Melody and Taunya discuss holiday parties! Taunya introduces two great party recipes that are as delicious and not among the standard holiday party line-up; Hot Chocolate wine and the Gougere, a savory cheese puff made with choux pastry. Melody also talks about how she made her baked jalapeno poppers (a non-deep fried option).  On the business side, the pair talk about two new bakery opportunities that have come up recently. Melody talks about her move and gives an update on Tina and Tofu, her pet turkeys!    Email Melody and Taunya: thebakingpodcast@gmail.com Like us on Facebook and follow us on instagram (The Baking Podcast) Please leave us a review on itunes (very important!) and share our podcast with a friend!
