How did this baker brighten our summer?

While amping up the flavor, Chloe dispensed with the fussiness of too much narrative. Consequently, her entries had a simplicity that read like spare, hunger-inducing poetry: "It’s not pretty but it’s edible/ Sesame Crackers with onion dip/ Rogue baker/ I used our own onions for the dip."

Our favorite Wisconsin Twist (pictured)!

Sometimes we wish the islands of Wisconsin — like the Apostles, let’s say — were doughnuts. Why? Because we love doughnuts and, really, why not? That’s why Chloe’s submission of jam doughnuts for Week 7 planted with “strawberry,” “blueberry,” and “Nutella” flags made us smile — they resembled three doughnut islands staked out in a sweet doughnut land grab. Ok. . . so maybe we’re weird. Or maybe we’re definitely-not-maybe weird. But. . . doughnuts!

A choice quote or piece of Star Baker wisdom:

We’ll leave you with some more of Chloe’s poetry: "Rocked it/ Strawberry, blueberry and Nutella doughnuts/ pipe the filling slowly/ I used our homemade blueberry jam."

How did you do?

I participated in all 10 Great Wisconsin Baking challenges this summer — I’m a Star Baker!
