The Daring Bakers Kitchen

By registering you are agreeing to the following:

• You have to participate in at least 8 out of 12 challenges for every calendar year that you're a member. Your calendar year starts the month you join.
• You cannot miss more than 2 challenges in a row (unless you e-mail both Ivonne and I with a good reason. We do not need specifics, just let us know that life or whatever is going to get in the way for a month or two) or you will be taken off the blogroll - we do not warn you when taking your blog off the blogroll, it's your responsibility to keep track.
• We bake one recipe a month and we all bake the same exact recipe - no changes unless they are the exclusions listed in the official guidelines - health, religion & lifestyle needs.. cost prohibitive and hard to find ingredients.. modifications allowed by the hostess/host.
• You MUST keep challenges a secret. What we mean by that is, we don't discuss the challenge recipe on our personal blogs or with any other blogger (other than DB members and never in a public forum) until the designated day for posting.
• We all post our finished challenges on the same exact day - which is designated by that month's hostess/host. If you can not participate on the designated day, post late NOT EARLY.. and we'd appreciate it if you could let us know that you will be late.
• Your blog name and its address MUST be included in all correspondence and Daring Baker blog & forum posts/comments - We just have too many members to keep track on a first name basis, so please PRETTY PLEASE give us clues as to who you are. :)
