Dear Fellow Bakers and Friends, Welcome to the October 2023 Issue or what is approximately my 310th issue of Betterbaking.com. If anyone ever suggested I’m a quitter, there’s all those issues of BB to attest otherwise. I do bail on occasion but quit? Nope. Betterbaking is for me the one place I am assured there’s […]
A Note from Marcy October 2024
Dear Friends and fellow bakers, Welcome to October 2024 aka the 2nd of Tishrei, 5785 on the Jewish Calendar. It’s both a brand new month and a brand new year. And I have good and bad news. All is well but Betterbaking.com is in the website clinic getting some repairs. Some security issues compromised the […]

Dear Bakers and Friends, Welcome to the October 2025 issue of Betterbaking.com! Thanks to all of you who signed up with the annual BB two-for-one subscription special.

A Note from Marcy September 2018
Dear Bakers and Friends, Ah, September 1st the bittersweet day of summer’s end and fall’s promise! The air might feel like July but it definitely smells like September and a heat wave would do little to stop the leaves from their first tumble. Labour Day is that twilight holiday, linking what was with what’s […]
A Note from Marcy September 2020
Dear Fellow Bakers and Friends, Welcome to the September 2020, aka 5781, the dawn of the Jewish New Year. I believe that 5781 is going to be a tremendous year! But as we’re still on this side of things, just for the record, to quote Queen Elizabeth II who said something along these lines in […]
A Note from Marcy September 2021
Dear Bakers and Friends, Judging from the humidity around here these days it still feels like high-summer but as balmy as it is, it definitely smells like fall. To underscore the seasonal shift, the maple leaves in front of my house are sporting brown-tinged leaves and both my basil and oregano plants are going to […]

It’s September and that means it’s the beginning of the season of spice, apples and pumpkins. Quiet applause and a whisper of hurrah – the ‘baker’s ball’ of autumn has begun! Welcome back to the wheaty land of Baking Camelot aka Betterbaking.com. Dear Friends and Fellow Bakers, Welcome to the September 2023 issue of Betterbaking.com! I’m […]
A Note from Marcy September 2024
Hello friends and fellow bakers, Welcome to the September 2024 issue of Betterbaking.com! I’ll make this brief since this issue is late and the month is short. I’m gently reminding you that for a final time this year (until a year from now) that you have until September 30th 2024 to partake of the two-years-for-one-year-price […]
A Note from Marcy September 2025
Dear Bakers and Friends, Welcome to the September 2025 issue of Betterbaking.com! I’m late to publish because it’s Labor Day and the last day of summer (in mood) is calling me away as it is you. But I’m also late because I got waylaid trying to perfect a Downtown Abbey Victoria Sponge Cake for this […]
A Note from Marcy, December 2020
Hello Bakers and Friends, Welcome to the December 2020 issue of Betterbaking.com! It’s hard to believe we made it through the year, if not the continuing storm, aka 2020. Just a few months ago the world as we knew it shifted and at times actually shut down. Our lives became about health, family, and appreciating […]
