Rose’s fans probably remember that she posted about the Crack ‘Em, a little spoon rest with a built in ridge to make cracking eggs quick, clean and completely foolproof. I really like this little gadget, and thought it would be fun to share one with a fellow baking enthusiast! So, everyone who leaves me a comment anywhere on my blog until Saturday, December 20 will be entered to win a Crack ‘Em. Thanks for visiting and good luck!
I was invited to decorate Christmas cookies with Diane, Grace and Michelle this week. Diane and Grace have taken my cake decorating classes and Michelle is Grace's mom. Diane describes her beautiful home as "one bedroom with a kitchen!" And what a kitchen it is! She had everything we needed to decorate cookies--sprinkles, colored sugars and icing. We ate pizza and drank spiced cider and had a great time! Diane bakes often and she has this habit of showing me a plate of delectable-looking treats or cake and asking, "do you want to try it?" What a silly question!! You would think she would know by now that answer will always be an unqualified "OF COURSE!!" I baked one of our family favorite Southern-style pound cakes and took several little cakelets to share with Diane and Grace and Michelle. The pound cake recipe is found here: http://www.epicurious.com/recipes/food/views/Elvis-Presleys-Favorite-Pound-Cake-232642 It's a cold oven pound cake--the pan is placed in a cold oven, rather a preheated oven. Not sure why this is important, but it's a good recipe! I made a big batch of this pound cake and gave some to my daughter for her Christmas party, and shared more with other friends. Thanks, Diane, for hosting such a fun evening in your beautiful home! I love my new bundt-style "Stump de Noel" cake pan! I will be sure to bake a cake and post a photo of it!
