One Layer Wonders month kicks off with a review of a fabulous one layer cake with all of Andrea's favorite words, the Butterscotch Cake with Salted Caramel Buttercream from Bake from Scratch.

The bake along this week is Nigella's Chocolate Guinness Cake, and Andrea can't wait to see if this easy cake replaces Stefin's towering three-layer version.

In the final week of Pie Month, Stefin’s flying solo, and has the scoop on the 2017 and 2018 American Pie Council winners (a must-listen for any fan of Episode 14’s Totally Biscoff Pie, the 2016 winner), a review of Four & Twenty Blackbirds' Black Bottom Oatmeal Pie, and a Preview Review of a savory steak and ale pie from London fave Pieminister featuring new-to-her “rough puff” pastry. Finally, she takes a jaunt into the wide world of pie. From mini to slab, Jamaica to Canada, there’s a pie for everyone! You can read the full show notes here.

It's the third week of Pie Month ... and mystery abounds! First, the Proper Pie Puzzle. Have you ever wondered about the etiquette that should be followed when eating a slice of pie? (Neither have your hosts, clearly.) Next, the Key Lime Pie Conundrum. Of course this iconic dessert was created in the Florida Keys ... or was it? Drama! Intrigue! Chills and thrills! But it doesn't stop there! Because it's time for a review of the Fresh Pear Pie Stefin calls the best ever, and which Andrea wishes hadn't been stolen (call it the Mystery of the Missing Pie). Then, it's time for this week's bake along, a Black Bottom Oatmeal Pie from Four & Twenty Blackbirds that's a riff on a Preheated favorite: A desperation pie (this one pumped up with a layer of bittersweet chocolate). Finally, your intrepid sleuths ... er, hosts ... get down to the (flaky) bottom of your most pesky pastry predicaments, solving the many mysteries you may encounter on your road to perfect pies.

Lest you think the hosts always agree, can you guess who thinks "fruit pie is delicious" and who thinks "hot fruit is disgusting"? What about breakfast in bed ... is it a delightful treat on Valentine's Day, or just a way to wake up angry? Stefin and Andrea start the week with their hot takes on the baking wars. While there may be some slight disagreement between the hosts, one thing they can agree on is this week's delicious recipe, the Next Level Banoffee Pie from BBC Good Food. Fresh Pear Pie from The Spruce Eats is the next bake along in pie month so cast your apple allegiance aside and try this American heritage pie. Finally, Stefin and Andrea solve common pie predicaments and muse on the best tips for tasty, flaky pie crusts. You can read the complete show notes here.

It’s Preheated's Third Annual Pie Month! But before Stefin and Andrea roll out the top crust, they each report on their “19 for ‘19” Baking Resolutions: Andrea’s reading recipes, and Stefin’s making Turkish pizza. Off to a great start, and it's only the first week of February! Then it’s time for an updated take on the British pie that has a small but significant role in Love, Actually, actually: Next-Level Banoffee Pie from BBC Good Food magazine. New to pie? Ease into our month with this cookie-crumb crust topped with layers of roasted bananas, caramel and peanut-butter whipped cream. (Yes, please!) Then, the duo head back, waaaay back, to discuss the origins of pie, and the many twists and turns it’s taken on the road to the county fair. You can read the full show notes here.

This week's show is chock full as the hosts review not one, not two, but three veggie-filled desserts! Starting off with the Deep Dish Cookie Pie from Chocolate Covered Katie, both hosts find this dessert to be one you'll want to keep for its vegan, gluten-free yumminess. Both the Parsnip, Date and Hazelnut Loaf from Six Seasons and the Beetroot and Ginger Cake with Cream Cheese Frosting proved to be very veggie-forward and added an interesting twist to the hosts' quick bread collections. Andrea wraps up the episode with a New Orleans Bakery Crawl you may want to replicate next time you're visiting The Big Easy. You can read the complete show notes here.

Andrea and Stefin are on a roll with their “19 for ‘19” baking resolutions, and have several on their list from their inspired listeners. In the duo’s review of the Yukon Gold Potato Cinnamon Rolls, you may be surprised to hear who mussed the mash, and who failed to rise (and who got a sweet potato treat). Then it’s time for next week’s challenge: a baked donut filled with … spinach (!?). Yep, the Baked Spinach Lemon Donuts with Lemon Glaze from Veggie Desserts is putting this month's theme to the test. Will this be truly tasty or truly bizarre? Finally, Andrea fills us in on how to host a cookbook swap, if clearing clutter is on your list of new year’s resolutions. Looking for everything we talked about on this episode?

It's the final (bonus!) episode of 2018! Andrea and Stefin share listeners' reasons for baking: From stress relief to time with family to creating quality treats (not to mention showing off -- just a little!) it's a heartfelt list of "whys." Then, the duo sing the praises of that Victorian classic, Figgy Pudding from Geoff and Vicky Wells. Andrea loved her Instant Pot version, and Stefin was equally enamored of her traditional stove-top pudding. No wonder someone wrote a song about this rich and delicious holiday treat!

Speaking of fruitcake, check out Andrea's friend's famous recipe, now available on preheatedpodcast.com. Then it's time for a review of the Good Housekeeping UK's Chilled Chocolate & Whiskey Souffles with Salted Butterscotch Sauce.

It’s a dramatic week in Tipsy Treats Town: Andrea’s running out for whiskey at 8 a.m., Stefin’s blender is exploding in a shower of sparks, and Andrea’s dog gets a tipsy treat of his own after a kitchen mishap. It takes a special recipe to overcome all that craziness: Is A Cozy Kitchen’s Homemade Irish Cream worth it? And will next week’s Chilled Chocolate Whiskey Soufflé with Salted Butterscotch Sauce be less theatrical? Finally, the duo chat about the many ways to repurpose the fruit from your homemade liqueurs this month (hidden in a crumble, on a cheeseboard, warmed over ice cream, or simply popped into your mouth!) as well as several you may want to make for last-minute gifts: merry maraschino cherries inspired by Stefin's brother, and a classic rumpot from Nancy Leson.
