Bakewell Bonanza! From Mistake to Masterpiece! 🍒🥧

Grab your tea and settle in! This week on Cookie Lab, we're taking a deliciously sweet trip to England to tackle the classic Bakewell Tart (or Bakewell, as it's affectionately known).

The story of this iconic dessert is almost as sweet as the treat itself: we'll share the hilarious history that began as a simple culinary mistake at an English Inn—a mistake that thankfully resulted in one of the UK's most beloved bakes! We bring this historical treat into the Cookie Laboratory for our signature bake and taste test.

And for the science! We dive deep into the role of eggs in emulsion, the critical chemical process that gives the Bakewell's gorgeous frangipane filling that perfect, rich, and stable texture. Learn how this delicate balance of fats and liquids makes the difference between a good bake and a truly delicious one!

Tune in for the history, the taste, and the science of this accidental English masterpiece!
