We’ve written a lot of blogs at bepress, but covering the Great Summer Bakeoff was a plum assignment (warning, more groan-worthy puns ahead…). Although our Californian accents can hardly be called plummy, we were treated to first class stone fruit desserts last week by the bevy of bepress bakers who sweeten our days here at the office. Because we love to think up creative categories, there were winners in each baking achievement, below. Well, actually, everyone who entered was a winner…another time-honored bepress tradition!
Happily, we were able to make PlumX Metrics appear instantly in each of your repositories…for actual plum tarts, you’ll have to visit us here in Berkeley 🙂
