What are you baking today?

[LPBeier]

Last mega cake session, at least for now. I baked the first of two 12 x 12 x 1.5 inch carrot cakes yesterday and today made a 10 x 22 inch chocolate cake. Still have many to go, but already have the lemon one done and over half my decorations so it is looking good for next Saturday's wedding which features both a bridal cake and a groom's cake (the chocolate one).

Once again I am ending up with a ton of cake scraps. I am trying to come up with a way to make them marketable, like donut holes. With the amount of carving I have done this summer I could have made a fortune!

A fun time! Delicious too!

Just took a marble cake out of the oven and hope to make two "wacky cakes" tonight. It is chocolate cake made in the pan and is lactose free - seeing as the bride, her mother, uncle (my DH) and two aunts are lactose intolerant, this is a good thing!

Nothing today, though I probably should have since the weather was somewhat agreeable. Tomorrow I plan to make some English muffins...weather temperatures permitting.

I am baking butter cookies. But I also want to make chocolate pudding, just that I don't have any skim milk.

Do you have regular milk? You can use that as is, or if you are going for a low fat content use 1/3 water to 2/3 whole milk.

I need to make dinner rolls, hot dog buns and a coffee cake, so those will be made in the next few days....we have two neighborhood young men coming over next week who have scheduled their visits to coincide at their folks house...and they eat a lot, so need to stock up for their visits.

That's the same reason why I have a 10.6 lb ham shank in the oven as I'm typing... Yah I know, the thread meant "other" baked goods, but since Katie mention the weather aspect, I thought my ham qualified

Nothing today. Yesterday I tried a sweet Hawiian bread. It wouldn't rise the second time so I ploped it in a square cake pan and baked it like corn bread or something. Little crusty on the bottom (mea culpa), great flavor, but too dense so I dumped it.

The one thing I will NOT be baking for awhile is cake LOL! finished my last ones yesterday for our niece.

I hope to make some diabetic carrot muffins for Dad and gluten free banana ones for DH.


The wedding cake was (from bottom) carrot, chocolate, marble and lemon. There 3 dozen sugar sunflowers of varoius sizes and leaves and the layers are literally suspended on plastic plates and pillars at varying angles. Other views are in my profile photo album.


The groom's cake was a special touching gift from the bride to her new hubby. His best friend, who he would have chosen as his best man, died a few years ago and the Game of Life was something they played together often.

Ah Laurie, your cakes are really outstanding! Thanks for sharing the pictures with us. You are at the top of your game!

Aww, thanks, Karen. I know they have a lot of flaws, but I love doing it for people I love!
