Sharing memories of the Pillsbury Bake-off Contest 2014
This time last year, my husband and I were in Nashville Tn for the 47th Pillsbury Bake-off Contest. I had been chosen as a finalist with my entry: Strawberry-Mascarpone-Hazelnut-Choc. -Tart. So many wonderful memories. I am so honored to have been chosen. To see my blog post on this trip, see HERE.
My 11 year old granddaughter called me one day and said that she was required to do a “How To” demonstration speech in one of her classes. She asked to do my Pillsbury entry! She came to my house one evening and made the tart and I took pictures. This was an easy recipe to do and I am so proud of the great job she did.
I reviewed the recipe with her and she assembled the ingredients.
She crumbled the cookie dough and pressed it into the tart pan.
Poke holes in bottom of crust with a fork.
Baked crust cooling
She was so amazed when the removable bottom came off of the tart pan.

Drizzle the melted white chocolate.
She was so proud of the finished product!!!
Her teacher and class enjoyed her delicious presentation. I love spending time in the kitchen with my grandchildren and feel so honored that they are proud of me for my accomplishments.
This day was extra special getting to watch her make this tart, and sharing my memories of the Pillsbury Bake-off Contest 2014.
That tart is a show stopper and your granddaughter is adorable. I can’t wait to cook with mine…in a few years! ❤️
You will have so much fun…”The Dutch Baker’s Granddaughter” can’t wait to see your posts on her.
This tart was absolutely delicious! I am going to have to make it for us soon! 🙂
Thank you!
What a fantastic job she did! I love this recipe – it is one of my favorite recipes of yours. It just looks soooooooooo good!!! Great presentation – you go, girl!!! 🙂
What a great project for her presentation. And having a granddaughter choose to base a presentation on your work is just a great an honor as being invited to the Bake-Off!
Thank you Nancy…you are right, I felt so honored she wanted to do it for her class. She was so excited today when I told her the she was the star in the post.
You will certainly remember this as one of your best Grandma moments! She did an amazing job and I love that she wanted to her presentation on your baking skills — that you have taught to her! Being in the kitchen with a grandchild really is the best — and tasty, too!
Oh my goodness! What a recipe! I’m not surprised you did so well in the contest.
Also, I was standing in line at Michael’s a few weeks ago and looked up your recipe in the Taste of Home issue! You are a real celebrity! And, I’m sure your adorable granddaughter is very proud of YOU too! 🙂
Thank you.
