Your braid looks wonderful. I like how you ahve kept the apple chunky.

Your braid looks gorgeous and extremely delicious! Really well done, as usual!

Cheers,

Your braid looks gorgeous, I stuck with the apple too and it was gorgeous!

Yours looks great. Wish Id sprinkled mine with sugar!

Amen - baking is simple and beautiful, and just to be savoured.

You’re not kidding when you say that we create wonderful smells in the house. Not only was the challenge fun, the smell was out of this world. Your braid is gorgeous and I’m going to try the apple filling next.

Love the sugar on top… so pretty! And I know exactly what you mean about the fabulous aromas…!

Can I have a bite of that? It looks delicious! And yes the aroma was heavenly, actually everything about this recipe was really nice!

The braid turned out incredible! I realized that I wanted sugar on top of mine…after it came out of the oven!!!

Yup..thank you for “Daring Bakers” , your braid looks yummy..is there any italian version of this braid?

Simply lovely - as usual! I love how the apples are still chunky. That looks delicious!

Your pastry looks mighty tempting. Danish pastry is one of my favorite doughs and this is a good reminder I haven’t made it in awhile. I’ll have to remedy that soon. I loved your stack of amaretti in the last post as well, yummmmm….

I couldn’t agree more - the fragrance was absolutely heavenly. Your braids are beautiful

What a beautiful braid! I totally agree that the challenges make the house smell WONDERFUL Great job on your challenge. Mmmm, I can almost smell it from here!

I bet the kitchen did smell heavenly because your danish looks divine

Beyond stunning, Ivonne!! Your DBC sweets never disappoint :0)

Beautiful-looking pastry. I can smell it through my screen.

MOLTO BENE!!!!

I’ve made danish braid before too, but didn’t remember the dough smelling quite so good as this time around. Yours looks lovely as always!

The top of your braid looks beautiful and those apples inside just look fabulous!

Your braid looks beautiful! And yes this challenge, I think, smelled the best out of all the ones I’ve done.

Very nicely done! I can almost smell it here. I have to agree with you, this was a very enjoyable challenge.

yes being a daring baker rocks - fears, melodrama, cold sweats, voodoo dances and all. i would not give it up for anything. your braid looks awesome Ivonne!

My kitchen smelt heavenly too! From beginning to end, the lovely smells of orange, cardamon, raspberry ….

I agree with you, Ivonne, the aromas of the braid in the oven were heavenly.

Hear, hear.
It looks good enough to devour.

Wonderful. I love the apples showing on the side view. Makes me wish I had done apples. Perfect looking pastry, job well done!

Wait, wait, you forgot the coffee Ivonne! And then everything is golden!!

Lis, your danish looks delicious! I didn’t make the apple filling, but I will have to try it soon! You make it look irresistible!

Your braid looks amazing!

Ivonne, I agree, sometimes it is nice to just enjoy the process of baking. That was especially true this month because we got to bake together. I can’t wait to do it again very soon!

Hugs!

Well put and most delicious.

Looks so inviting. And making me hugry. Somehow my bowl of cereal isn’t cutting it this morning…sigh.

beautiful braids ! you are so right about the smell of baking this danish bread… it is incredible.

Even those of us who are not Daring Bakers love the once-a-month appearance of mouthwatering photos on our blog readers! I can close my eyes and pretend that wonderful aroma is emanating from my own kitchen.

Your braid is perfectly beautiful bread…picture perfect in fact…I can almost smell it…oh, wait that’s my kitchen smelling so nice. Fun to bake all the Daring Baker challenges, but this one was particularly nice.

Wow, I can smell your bread now. Love the apple filling with this one. Beautiful braid!11

Oh, yours looks fabulous. may I have a slice? I do miss the daring bakers days. As I mentioned in Anita’s site, it was great to have different challenges every month.not too sure whether you will get this post as for a while my posts do not get publshed any more here.have a lovely week.

i agree, my kitchen smelled fantastic! beautiful braid!

Your braid looks gorgeous. Glad you enjoyed it even though it wasn’t new for you!

Beautiful braid, and next fall I think I will try the apple. Good to hear that it was so tasty@

Looking good as always, well done.

Your blog is the reason why I’ve been following the daring bakers since the beginning! I’m so glad I joined. Your danish looks very good.

The sugar looks like little bits of diamonds …v nice.

Gorgeous my dear!

I agree with you my lovely friend. this dough made my house smell really good for days! I can’t wait to make it again

your braid looks beautiful! i did not experience the same aroma everyone is talking about - i wonder if it is b/c i omitted the cardamom?

It sure did make my home smell good

Great work!! I did the raw sugar too!!!! I love a little bit of texture on things and it was perfect! And yes, the smell was delish, truly.

What a perfect looking braid!

Beautiful, but we are in the middle of a heat wave and just the thought of turning on the oven makes my head spin. I may have to save this for colder weather!

Love the sprinked sugar on top! Looks delicious.

I thoroughly enjoyed my 2nd DB challenge, as did my friends and colleagues!

It looks great, especially with the addition of the decorator’s sugar!

i agree, the smell was just lovely! i love your braids, the golden brown crust just looks wonderful. that top photo is salivating and inducing hunger pains as i type. gorgeous!

I love the sugar topping! Beautiful! And yes, being a Daring Baker smells so good!

I love the sanding sugar on top - it’s gorgeous!

Umm… Ivonne?

Several of our challenges have left me doing piles and piles of dishes.

As usual your pastry is perfection. And I wholeheartedly agree that the combination of cardamom, orange zest and vanilla had my house smelling like Christmas in June.

It’s simply beautiful, Ivonne!

Your pastry looks great!! I love the sugar sprinkles on the braid.

I agree with you the smell was just absolutely delicious!!! I enjoyed this challenge soo much and I think your braid looks amazing!!!
Thanks so much for starting this group.. I’ll never be able to thank you enough!

We don’t do dishes? No one told me that? Does this mean that if I left my dishes that a DB fairy would come over and do them? No? Not exactly what you meant. Too bad.

In seriousness, your Danishes look exactly as I expected them to look: perfect!

Gorgeous! And you’re right about the aroma…heavenly!

Yeah, seriously the best smell I’ve ever smelled, as I said, I nearly passed out in my car as I took it to bookclub!!

Lovely! Really enjoy your posts!

Brilliant Ivonne. I’m going to make this soon.

Truly, your beautiful braid speaks amply for itself.

Nice breading job. And golden color.
PS No one did my dishes for me either.

Absolutely gorgeous. Great braiding
