Welcome to my Monthly Baking Challenge.
What You Need to Know:
- On the 1st of every month, I will post a new recipe complete with a quick how-to video, plenty of tips, tricks, and photos.
- I want you to bake the recipe yourself during that month! Come back and tell me how it went.
- If you’d like, share your photos throughout the month using #sallysbakingchallenge on Instagram or email me, tweet me, or upload a photo of your recipe to my Facebook page. I want you all involved!
4 More Things:
- The carefully chosen recipe will be seasonal based on the time of year.
- The recipes will be approachable, while still being a little challenging so you can *learn* a new technique or method.
- If you don’t like a particular flavor in that month’s recipe, there will be an alternate Monthly Baking Challenge recipe.
Hopefully I can work in fun giveaways each month to correspond with the Baking Challenge. 🙂 And, of course, I will still be posting new recipes each week along with coffee breaks and Saturday Sevens. Nothing is changing there! But the recipe published on the 1st will be that month’s challenge recipe.
February is the first month and the February Baking Challenge recipe is coming TOMORROW!! Let me know if you have any questions in the meantime.
*The pictured cake batter chocolate chip cookies dough has nothing to do with tomorrow’s 1st Monthly Baking Challenge recipe. It’s just.. delicious. And pretty.
So excited for this fun new challenge!!!! Looking forward to having lots of fun!

So excited!!! Love this idea! You are brilliant! I can’t wait to improve my cooking and baking techniques!!!!
Best idea yet! I CAN’T WAIT!!! 🙂
This has totally made my morning! I’ve been baking your recipes for a year now, taking them to my church’s high school group where my husband and I volunteer. My girls small group really looks forward to what I bring each week and they are always impressed. My file folder of printed recipes from your site is quite thick now! And out of any cake I’ve ever made, (from any website) your red velvet was by far, the VERY BEST. I have a friend from the Napa Valley area say that it was literally the best cake she has ever tasted- and she has tasted many a delicious sweets from one of the best places in the world to eat. I agree with her. In fact, I think I’ll be making that a Blue Velvet for my brothers birthday in a few days. I just wrote a novel, but needless to say, I will be doing this challenge! Great idea!
FUN, FUN, FUN!!!!!! This is a great idea!!! Thanks for involving us and making this interactive….No wonder this is my favorite baking website! 🙂
So excited to join you in learning new exciting baking techniques! What a fabulous idea!!!!
This sounds like so much fun!
I absolutely love this idea! Lately I’ve been baking only when I “need” to, for some event or meeting. This will give me encouragement to bake more often and bring a little more joy into the lives of my family and everyone else around me. I can’t wait to get started! 🙂
Terrific idea! This gives us all a chance to feel involved in the process…how fun! I bet you end up with lots of flavor tweak ideas too. Pretty cool, Sally!
