During Class 3, we made the infamous Clown Cake. It was a very warm day, so my clowns leaned a little bit on the ride home. When I arrived at class, we continued practicing roses. I am going to practice more this weekend so that my roses will be pretty for the final cake next [...]

A good pound cake recipe is a very useful thing for a baker to have. Pound cakes are great when you don’t want a heavier dessert like a layer cake. You can have them plain, you can change the taste by adding different flavorings, and you can dress it up by adding a glaze, a [...]

Looking through Dorie’s cookbook, I thought these Cinnamon Squares looked quite tasty.

David was in charge of the meat, and I made pineapple casserole (David can’t have Easter without it!), a bread (to be posted later), and this [...]

This is another recipe that caught my eye when I first got Dorie’s book because it has the most incredible crumb layer. I knew this would be a hit with my husband. He loves crumb cakes like this, and raspberry and blueberry are his favorite fruits to go in it. Neither of us are breakfast [...]
