A Note from Marcy February 2019
Dear Bakers and Friends, Welcome to the February 2019 Issue of Betterbaking.com! I’m delighted to welcome you back to my kitchen where I’ve been in a babka dervish, testing and refining this wonderful pastry until it reached ‘definitive’ status.

A Note from Marcy November 2018
Dear Fellow Bakers and Friends, Welcome to the November 2018 Issue of Betterbaking.com! For a Canadian who hosts (primarily) American readers, I’m having my annual editorial déjà vu.
