It is well-established that I like cake and have made it my life’s mission to eat more of it. So many cakes, so little time: Cheese. Italian Cream. Sheet. Elephant. Which brings me to this lovely: Pound Cake Perfection I was rooting through my old recipes, trying to decide what to bake, and I ran across …

OMT has been baking with buttermilk again, y’all. It’s so Southern, don’t you think? When I first found this recipe, I immediately printed it out. Then, I promptly forgot about it. I blame my peri-brain fog. When I ran across it again, I made a note of the ingredients, ran to the store for buttermilk, …
Cake! Cake! Cake! I think by now we get it…CAKE! Gratuitous pic of CAKE: I love all things cake and know you do too. I love when I come across something new about cake, yet there are so few things that are new about cake. So, I was startled to come across a video that …
Cake? Yes, please. Is there ever any doubt? Never, even if it’s hideous (yet delicious). There are days I jones for a three layer monstrosity and there are days I’m happy with a sheet of cake that needs nothing more than whipped cream or a drizzle of caramel (you read that right). This day I …

After Boy was born, my sweet M-I-L ceremoniously handed me a folded and well-worn page torn from a women’s magazine. When I unfolded it, there was an image of a child’s birthday cake in the shape of an elephant. She told me that she had made the elephant cake for Husband almost from the time …
Y’all remember the Candy Bar Cake Challenge? You saw my hideous concoction… …then I challenged you to send me your not so hideous creation. Two brave readers have accepted my throw-down and submitted their pics. While no one has dared to make the cake in it’s three-layer glory, you guys did make some tasty lookin’ …
I love to eat cake. Doesn’t matter what kind, just GIMME cake! I love to bake cakes. So much cake. One summer was particularly scary in our household. In order to offset the plaguing what-ifs, I announced to Husband that we would now be enjoying The Summer of Cake. We had a new cake every …
