Cakes
I never really made cakes until I had a child. My first opportunity for cake baking was Emmy's first birthday. The cake that year was a rather inglorious box cake. Since then, I have made a birthday cake from scratch every year for Emmy and her pal Henry. Their birthday is in July and twice the frosting melted off the cake. Mistakes and foibles do happen.
My love of cake baking began when I made Yolanda & Frank's wedding cake. My most recent cake was a Peanut Butter Chocolate cake (recipe from smittenkitchen.com) for Yolanda & Frank's baby shower.
Here are a few photos of some of my more successful projects.
