Today I made hubby a German Black Forest Cake. My first time. I need to brush up on my decorating.
We will have it for dessert tonight with coffee and Kirsch (cherry) Liquor.
Yum, Yum!

That looks AMAZING! I'd love to try it!!! I made a chocolate cake for my father in laws birthday party Saturday. Hopefully I'll have time to upload photos soon and I'll show you :)
Karen - how were the sugarless pumpkin pies? |

| Well…the first one was a bit odd tasting. You could mostly taste the cinnamon. We just sprinkled sugar or that one. The other one I actually scooped the filling out, added sugar and mixed, then refilled the pie crust. Aside from not being as “set up” it tastes really good now! Lol :) |

Today I am making a Gluten Free Red velvet pound cake. Now what was I thinking making it from scratch, who do I think I am Betty Cocker!!
Let me just say I am not a real good cook, not sure I even like cooking but…I thought this would be a little pound cake. Nope full blown cake in my bunt pan. I will not tell a lie I have never in my 48 years of marriage made a cake from scratch, I have always made them right out of the box as that’s how I was raised. Now I know why! I hope it taste good as we love Red Velvet Cake. I will let you know how it turns out.
Happy Sunday to all. |
Big Hugs,
Debbie

| Debbie I was basically raised on box mix myself until Christmas when my mom made Japanese fruit cake. Well once, and only once I tried to make a chocolate layer cake from scratch. I guess I was supposed to know to use three round cake pans, but didn’t and only used two. That was a big mess to clean up the oven, so it’s been box cake for me ever since, lol. |

Don't feel bad that you forgot to add the sugar. My attempts to bake are usually flops...because my oven does not work. So I use the air flyer and guess at a time and temp.
Thats why I bought a used bread baking machine. Things were going along nicely until my last effort. It is dense, not light. I was mad at myself because I wasted the wheat berries. In the past that was not such a big deal, but just like everything else wheat berries continue to go up in cost. |

Sorry to hear your bread didn't turn out Marilyn.
That cake looks fantastic Debbie!
I love to cook and bake from scratch. I do it all the time so I don't always think about what I know that others may not know. Here's a prime example that's a bit like Wanda's story. My husband doesn't cook or bake. Except for my birthday - he always makes me a cake. From scratch, not a box! The first time he made a round cake like I do (where there's 2 cakes and frosting in between) he got out my big cheesecake pan and put half the cake batter in, then a little tub of icing, then the rest of the cake batter. Then he put it all in the oven and wondered why it wouldn't "get done". The funniest part is I always cut off the rounded tops when I do this (so they stack better) and he eats them while I'm icing the cake so he should have known there are 2 cakes. I will never let him forget this LOL! It didn't deter him though. He still makes me a cake every year :) |

My husband is the best!
I have meat balls baking right now for spaghetti for supper :)
Eventually I do sleep. I sat down to knit a bit this afternoon and I was so sleepy I thought I'd take a little power nap. It turned into a 2 hour nap!!!!! Hopefully I'll sleep tonight. |
