Last year we missed some important baking occasions. We should put these in our personal calendars so it doesn’t happen again.
is there really a professional baking magazine?
Dawn – There’s probably more than one professional baking magazine. Chocolatier and two other magazines morphed into http://www.dessertprofessional.com/ with a physical magazine. I’m still getting it as a result of my Chocolatier subscription which I can hardly wait to run out.
My son the mathematician informs me that Pie Day is March 14. Pi =3.14=March 14. In Europe, where they put the day first, then the month, Pie Day is 22/7, or July 22.
Never knew there were that many dessert days. Thank you for posting it, I’ll be adding them to my calendar. I might not be able to make them on the day but will have to plan ahead and maybe eat them on the celebrated day. Thank you!
These are cool! I can plan activites for my kids around these dates.
And Dec. 4 is my b-day!
Hi,
Go to:
sosland.com
for a list of all their publications. This cookie holiday list is from one of their baking publications.
I can’t believe Feb 5, world Nutella Day and Nov 15, National Bundt day,were not on the list!
Yeah, where’s National It’s My Birthday day, I mean Bundt Cake day?
Wish I’d have known about shortbread cookie day in time to send my mom some. I have a feeling she wouldn’t mind it they came a little late!
Having a giveaway on my blog today!
This is wonderful! Now I have some cute holidays/reasons to send goodies to my nieces and nephews.
I’ll be a bit late for Shortbread Day but I can send it with the Fig Newtons. 
Oh, I forgot to mention that June 6th is National Gingerbread Day.
