September Cooking and Baking Challenge

Today, I am announcing the topic for September's cooking and baking challenge and reveal the winner of our previous months' challenge. All the details and rules for how to participate in this challenge are given below including a chance to win a fabulous price.

Last month we started a new series on the blog, Veena's Cooking and Baking Challenges. I thought since many of you are doing masterclasses this would be a great way to reward all those efforts.

This month's challenge is
Cinnamon Rolls
to qualify
You must choose one of my
two cinnamon roll
recipes below.

Classic Cinnamon Rolls with Cream heese Frosting40

Homemade Cinnamon Rolls from Scratch11

Easy Cinnamon Rolls Recipe with Cream Cheese

This cinnamon rolls recipe is my absolute favorite. Frosted with cream cheese frosting these make the best treats any time of the year. This is my basic recipe with lots of options to customize.

Cinnamon Rolls from Scratch with Condensed Milk Glaze

These cinnamon rolls are finger-licking delicious. Soft, light and fluffy loaded with cinnamon flavor then topped with a condensed milk glaze. The recipe is simple and easy and my fool-proof recipe so even if you are a beginner you will master these the very first attempt.

Everyone who participates in this month's baking challenge is automatically entered. See below on how to enter the challenge and bonus tips for increasing your chances to win.

Let's review our August Cooking and Baking Challenge

I must say I am thrilled to see so many pictures come in and how many of you wrote such wonderful comments about the recipes you tried. I know it was one of the easiest recipes to make. No cooking, no baking but perfect for the summer heat.

This comment sums it up nicely

I've never made ice cream at home because I never knew it was so easy. I just presumed I needed an ice cream maker.
I have been following your blog for such a long time and tried so many recipes from cakes, bread, chicken, and beef. They always work for me.
I knew I wanted to participate in this challenge, and I tried the strawberry and it was so easy to make. I decided to try the Oreo, then the chocolate. Before we could realize, me and the kids were having an ice cream fiesta. Using frozen berries, fruits we made blackberry, mango, and caramel. We even made a coffee and pumpkin.
Thank you so much, Veena for these simple and easy recipes. I'm never buying those ice cream tubs from the super again. You are right, now I know what goes into my kids' ice cream.
This is not only going to save me money but also have fun with the kids. Great project to do with the kids. They loved every minute of it.

I took as many ice cream images you sent to create a few collages. The best way to send in your pictures is by email.

The winner of our August Cooking and Baking Challenge is Pravina Garde who submitted this Pistachio Matcha Ice Cream

Thank you all for your participation, support, and feedback. Appreciate it very much.
