NikitaDoes anyone know the correct way to say "Crepe?" I was mistaken several times at work over the last week when people thought they heard I was making "crap." LOL! This creation I made was far from crap - that's for sure! Over the years, I've seen different Crepe Cake recipes on Completely Delicious via Pintrest. The concept was interesting to me, so I just had to try it. Pictured is a Lemon Mascarpone Crepe Cake. Yes, you need to use mascarpone and not cream cheese to get the creamy - not too rich - flavor. The cake is topped with candied lemon peels, and each layer is alternating with homemade lemon curd and the whipped mascarpone cream. This cake is dense, so don't think for a second that you will get a fluffy, moist, baked cake. BUT it makes for a fun breakfast. YOLO, right? Every week, these Saturday Bites' challenges surprise me when I discover how easy it is to make something I used to only see in bakeries or restaurants. Enjoy the recipe! GeorgiaCrepes.. Oh so yummy.. So.. One very good piece of advice I can give about making crepes. Non-stick pan Thankfully they tasted MUCH better then they looked. I made a yummy dessert crepe. Okay.. Actually the crepe is mostly the same regardless of savory or sweet. I opted for sweet. Blueberry lemon curd with fresh whipped cream and they were oh so yummy. Note the super cute dessert plate.

It’s been a crazy week, that’s all you’re getting from me this time. :) AmyThis is kind of funny because a few weeks ago I was scanning one of my favorite cookbooks and found a crepe recipe that I had planned on trying at a later date. The time is now! Sarah Leah Chase's Cold-Weather Cooking is one of my essential cookbooks. It was first published in 1990 and I'm not certain if it's still in print. I use it from around Labor Day through Easter. I have my stand by's such as Columbus Day pasta and her bacon guacamole. Ms. Chase was a well known caterer in New England (I believe), so presentation is important. However, I simplify some of the recipes by omitting some of the flourishes. As is the case with these crepes. I found it unnecessary to tie the crepes off with chives. I will share the recipe as it is written if you so desire the flourishes. Cornmeal Crepes with Chevre and Hot Pepper Jelly Serve with grilled sausage alongside. What a fun challenge Nikita has us do this week.
While my crepes turned out meh. It looks like Amy and Nikita's were perfect. Food has the magical power to bring people together, Nikita, Georgia, Jen and Amy
