For the past six years, senior Test Kitchen editor Jesse Szewyczk has been trying to get a karpatka recipe published. Even though he’d never made one in its entirety before. But he knew BA’s Bake Club was the perfect place to showcase what he calls the drag queen of Polish desserts.
“I've made every component before,” Jesse tells his co-host Shilpa Uskokovic. “I just haven't arranged the puzzle pieces in this fashion.”
“We hope that that's what people in Bake Club take away,” adds Shilpa. “That by having these building blocks, you can make all these things, even if they're the first time you're making them.”
Jesse’s version has an American twist (a no-bake cheesecake filling) and a nod to his Polish roots (the plum compote).
Listeners also weighed in with questions about and photos of their sky-high desserts and we awarded our Baker of the Month. We also had a visit from a beloved star baker in The Great British Baking Show (a.k.a. Bake-Off for those in the UK). Season nine finalist Ruby Bhogal stopped by the podcast to talk about her new book Around The World in 80 Cakes. And yes, there is a karpatka in it!
