Hello all,
Recently I re-read Sunshine. Then I re-read it again, this time to get the names of every item listed that Sunshine has supposedly cooked. I don't think I'm the only one that aspires to learn to bake properly when reading this book 
While I was reading, I thought - this can't be too hard, to recreate these onto real plates, in real ovens. Well, I hadn't counted on there being over 50 items, most of which are only names with no description!
So I thought, perhaps the members would like to follow me in this journey, and perhaps they would like to recreate it with me. Let's see if, between us, we can't make the perfect recipes for the listed items! Let's make Sunshine - and Robin - proud!
Here's a list I've made, please let me know if I'm missing anything:
BREAD:
~ Tea Bread
~ Yeast Bread
~ Orange-Date Tea Bread
~ Rye bread
~ Banana-Nut Honey Bread
~ Oatmeal Bread
~ Pumpernickel Bread
~ Maple Cornbread
MUFFINS:
~ Bran and Corn and Oatmeal (these I'm not sure if they're separate or one whole muffin)
~ Cranberry and Sprouted Wheat
~ Blueberry
~ Pumpkin
~ Orange, Carrot and Oat
~ Bran Raisin
~ Oatmeal Applesauce Allspice
COOKIES:
~ Choc-chip Hazelnut
~ Jamdandies
~ Cashew Turtle
PUDDING:
~ Succotash Pudding
~ Death of Marat
~ Indian Pudding
CAKE:
~ Marbled Brown Sugar Cake
~ Choc chip Layer Cake w/Butter Icing
~ Ginger Pound Cake
~ Honeycake
OTHER SWEET:
~ Cinnamon Rolls
~ Apple Pie
~ Bitter Chocolate Death
~ Caramel Cataclysm
~ Rocky Road Avalanche
~ Fig Bars
~ Hell's Angelfood
~ Killer Zebras
~ Butter Bombs
~ Cherry Tarts
~ Lemon Lechery
~ Glutton's Grail
~ Buttermost Limit
~ Scones
~ Chocoholica
~ Brown Sugar Brownies
~ Meringumania
~ Walnut sticky bun
~ Pear Gingerbread
~ Lemon Lust Pastry Bars
~ Butterscotch Brownies
~ Triple Ginger Gingerbread w/ Cream Cheese Sauce
~ Sunshine's Eschatology
OTHER SAVOURY:
~ All Day Breakfast - Eggs, Bacon, Sausages, Baked Beans, Pancakes, Hash Brown, Toast, Cinnamon Roll or Muffin.
~ Hash and Chili nd Chicken Pot Pie.
~ Tweedle Dumplings
~ Egg and Romaine sandwich on Pumpernickel Bread
~ Loose Leaf Tea.
There we have it!
Robin, an earnest plea; If you know what half of these are, have a recipe or just have some enlightening ideas that are not displayed above, PLEASE let me know!
What do you think? Where should I start?
Cheers,
Stephanie

Muffins.
English muffins are less sweet and cake-like than most of the American versions that I've seen, but since the are made so fast in the book they cannot be the yeast type.

Yes, Sunshine's muffins are definitely this kind. Like a quick bread, but baked in single servings--although as with everything else, the serving size is trending larger...
(On a side note, speaking of American vs. English muffins, this is my favorite Wikipedia Talk page of all time. Brit: "I don't think we have these here." Other Brit: "Yes we do." American: "I think they might be what you call crumpets?" All: "NO THEY'RE NOT.")
Kitangel, Robin doesn't usually read the forums outside the blog post discussion, but here's what she's said on the topic before:

YES the cinnamon rolls and Killer Zebras exist–but Sunshine bakes the way I do and neither of us (!) has got around to ORGANISING, you know, RECIPES that other people could conceivably follow.
|
I also found an even older post from back when the blog was on LiveJournal. I thought that she had finally posted her basic cinnamon roll recipe somewhere, but it's not in the recipe blog, nor is it coming up in a search of the main blog, so maybe I imagined it.

Could the tea bread be a baking powder loaf? I have recipe for one which uses tea if you want it.
