Bake like the Pros

Don't be shy, admit it: You're a better baker than your peers. You're the designated dessert provider for every special occasion, the envy of all your fellow would-be bread bakers. You have the basics nailed; now step up and challenge yourself with a professional-level recipe! These are 16 of our most difficult recipes — some are project-bakes best suited for a long weekend; others are seemingly simple but take precise technique (looking at you, macarons). 

Choose one of these challenging recipes, pull on your apron, and get ready to put your baking skills to the test. And remember — if you need help, our Baker's Hotline is ready and waiting!
