Baking Goodness Prep. God Help Me!

[cinagel]

Which is keeping me busy while I'm on a slow day at the desk. I wanna bake this August...I have no clue what. My plot is to do some baking every week in August. Granted, this also means my ass is going to get rather fatty fatty fat fat...Because damnit I am EATING what I bake!
Anyways, so far I want to make the following:
Scones
Key Lime Pie (I have no choice. This is a requirement of Max)
A Tart of some sort
Cobbler of some sort

Aaaand..donno about the rest. Any recomendations from my more kitchen savvy friends out there? I like pastries..though I donno if I have the skills to do a pastry.
And to local friends, you WILL come help me eat this damn stuff, right?
...RIGHT?!
Don't make me get Fat all alone here, people!!

Here's some cute cupcake icons. :)

Someone on my icon community is constantly posting stock image icons of food and stuff. ^_^

This one is my favorite. ^_^ I used it for awhile too.

I would totally help out if I could. XD With the making and eating. :D

Biscuits, Pecan Pie, Cinnamon Rolls, beignets, apple pie, flan. Oh no, I'm going to get fat with you lol.

If I could give you some of my tons of rhubarb I just got... I'd happily share with you so you could make strawberry rhubarb pie.

There's all levels of pastry making, not everything has to be complicated. I like Allrecipes.com when I'm looking for stuff to cook or bake, and the search engine on it is pretty good. Try "easy pastry" and see what comes up.

Ohh...rhubarb....

joyofbaking.com is a good site that I like.

I also have my recipes listed all in my LJ. :) The index is here: http://mochimonkey.livejournal.com/2003/01/01/

If you google "toffee topped bars" you end up with one of my favorite recipes ever.

For added fun, follow the recipe, but add the same spices as my pumpkin pie, omit the chocolate and coconut, and triple the nuts. Now you've got my spice bars!

Also: Apple Ginger Oatmeal Cookies

Ingredients:
3/4 cup butter
1 cup brown sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla
2 eggs
1/2 cup apple sauce
2 cups flour (1 cup whole wheat, 1 cup all-purpose, if possible)
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon cinnamon
1 teaspoon nutmeg
1/8 teaspoon ground cloves
1 teaspoon ground ginger
2 cups rolled oats
1 cup diced fresh apple
1 cup diced candied or crystallized ginger
1 cup chopped walnuts

Cream butter and sugar, beat in vanilla, eggs, and apple sauce.
Combine flour, soda, salt, and spices and add to batter. Add oats,
then apple, ginger, and walnuts. You may need to stir by hand. Drop in
large spoonfuls onto baking sheets. Bake about 10 minutes at 350
degrees.

Key Lime Pie..... *tries not to drool at thought*

[hossblacksilver.livejournal.com]

If Max likes key lime pie and you have a Steak n' Shake in your area, they're having key lime pie shakes for a limited time.

[cinsangel.livejournal.com]

Alas, no steak n shakes over here in SD as far as I know. *L* But I can probably make him a few Key lime tarts to hold him over.
