Let Them Eat Cake

This is not a particularly good shot, but that's because I was too eager to devour this scrumptious lil' slice-o-heaven, and I couldn't concentrate on much of anything else.

White Cake with Pink Frosting
Let me tell you, it was one delightful piece of cake!  I dare say I'm starting to get the idea of this whole baking thing.  The texture of the cake was an ideal between fluffy and dense, and not too sweet (which is good, because the frosting was super sweet), with a light vanilla flavor.

I am quite proud of it.  I've eaten it after lunch, after dinner, and again for breakfast.

What I'm Eating... Oatmeal & Cranberry Cookies

Okay, I'm not a baker... I couldn't have come up with this on my own.  I just wanted to use the cranberries in my freezer, and oatmeal cookies sounded yummy on a rainy Saturday, so I searched and found this recipe for Cranberry Oatmeal Cookies with Chocolate Chips on another blog, Coconut & Lime.  They turned out great!  Super soft, too, which I love.  It sounds like a lot of things thrown together, but the combination of cranberries and chocolate really is heavenly.

What I'm Eating... Strawberry Crisp

It might not feel like Spring outside, but I'm certainly going to pretend it does!  Strawberries should do the trick...

Ingredients:
Whole wheat flour, sugar, brown sugar, butter, strawberries

What I'm Eating... Macarons (or Macaroons?)

First of all... which is correct, macaron or macaroon?  I pronounce it like "mack-a-roon", but macaron seems to be the consensus.

Anyway, however you spell it, where have these things been all my life?  I saw them yesterday an Intelligentsia and couldn't resist, and now I need more!!

What I'm eating... Spritz Cookies

The only problem with these tasty little cookies is that because they're small, I don't really realize how many I'm eating, until 1/3 of the plate is gone... oops!

The recipe is HERE, on Decorate, Eat & Repeat
