I live in Utah, but have spent a bit of time up there. The biggest difference you will find is humidity. (We have very little out here...) Your icing will need a bit more water or milk in the summer because the air is very dry. The only other thing may be the elevation. Montana is higher, and sometimes you need to add flour to cake batter to help it out.

What brings you to Montana? One piece of advice: bring your snow shovel....winters there are fun!! icon_lol.gif

I think you'll find a much slower-paced life there! The population is sparse and there is a lot of rugged, beautiful country.

High altitude baking can take some getting used to, but it's not impossible. You'll probably find that you enjoy the low humidity after a while. It certainly makes the summer heat more bearable.

Well, Sugarlaced, that's my area! Feel free to PM me with any specific questions you may have, baking or otherwise and I'll do my best to answer them - the good, the bad, and the ugly. I've lived here since I was 13 (minus college and post grad) so if I don't know the answer I'll at least know where you can find it icon_biggrin.gif
