On the topic of Middle Eastern/South Asian desserts: I will say that my true specialty is baklava. I've played with a couple of different styles over the years (ie. Greek, Turkish, Persian) and have always been pleased with the results. It's something I only make for a crowd, though.
I would love the recipe if you don't mind! Baklava is something we, without fail, order from our favorite Greek restaurant every time we order take out from there, which has been a ton this year. Well it's Greek/Indian, so we get butter chicken and baklava for desert lol. I've tried to make it myself but I think it might be a bit beyond my skill level. I'm still working on it though and this year has given me plenty of time to practice so I hope to master it soon.
I absolutely love Middle Eastern and South Asian food, you just can't beat the flavors, or the hospitality of the people there.

My friend's birthday is on Christmas Eve, and I was thinking of making him a birthday cake from scratch. Any suggestions?

In general, if you're making a baked good or a new recipe for the first time, I would follow the recipe exactly. Successful baking really comes down to the proper portioning and mixing of your ingredients, so I wouldn't recommend changing things up recipe-wise until you're comfortable making a particular type of baked good.
When you're shopping around for recipes, I would first decide what your cake's base flavor will be (ie. vanilla, chocolate, etc.), how many layers you want to make, and whether you need/want any mix-ins in the batter (ie. nuts). From there, I would then find out what type of frosting goes best with your cake (ie. buttercream, whipped cream, etc.) and decide what you'd like your inter-cake layer filling to be (hint: try using jam instead of frosting sometime!). From there, I would go online and see if you can find a recipe for the type of cake and frosting you want.
If you haven't made a cake from scratch before, I would recommend trying to keep things simple. Good luck!

Just plain vanilla. It tasted very... birthday cake. He was quite impressed!
I didn’t have literally any ingredients or mixer or anything, so it was very expensive 😳

Re: The Great Holiday Bake Thread
So... the dog woke me up at 0600 because he wanted to go out. Unfortunately once I'm up and walking in the mornings there's no going back to sleep for me. So, I made dessert for breakfast. Oh and there was no "leftover" cranberry sauce, I just used a whole can.

Re: The Great Holiday Bake Thread
One of my favorite baked goods to make. French breakfast muffins. Like a little coffee cake. Not included on the recipe is to dip the tops in melted butter and then roll on cinnamon sugar. Best served warm but still fantastic cooled as well.
