Something missing from your description and missing from my well established habits: careful measurement, of both ingredients and temperatures and times. I'm waaay too freestyle to actually bake anything more complicated than chocolate chip cookies with any kind of reliable success.

The Iowa State Fair is my ultimate dream... I was raised in Ames and did 4-H - I got to the state fair once with that and when I saw the calibre of adult entrants, I knew it was definitely something to aspire to.

When this great Iowa State Fair venture occurs, I'll let you know.

I think that something extra is referred to as 'scratch', the ingredient used in creating all great baked goods. I'll let you know when I find out where to get it.
