There is a whole lot of cooking and baking going on in this house. There's the daily prep of feeding a family of 5, school function baking, monthly family suppers at my aunt's house and monthly entertaining with our friends. After last year's pie challenge, I jumped right in with another self-inflicted weekly challenge - 2010 is the cake year! So far, I've made 32 different cakes. Moving and a diet distracted me! 2010 Cakes (so far) 36. October 22 - Vanilla Cupcake Buns with Brownie Burgers and Sugar Cookie Fries 35. October 15 - Double Chocolate Candy Coated Cupcake Pops 34.
