What are you baking today?

[LPBeier]

The cheesecakes, and their toppings, were a hit at the wedding tonight and may have gotten me another booking for the end of August. I feel exhausted, sore and very satisfied and can't wait to do some normal baking for my guys tomorrow. Life is good when you cook for a living, for a hobby and for those whom you love.

Thanks, Babe, for the recipe for Pineapple Cookies. I will look for a pineapple flavored cake mix and give them a try. They sound easy and delicious, especially with dried cherries and pecans!! (Hey, just a thought -- I might even put in some chopped dried pineapple!?) Thanks, again!

AMSeccia,
Here's the recipe for the carrot raisin bread. Enjoy!

½ teaspoon baking powder
½ teaspoon salt
½ cup milk

In a large bowl, stir together flour, sugar, cinnamon, baking soda, baking powder and salt. In a medium bowl, whisk together milk, oil, egg and vanilla. Stir milk mixture into dry ingredients until well-blended. Sprinkle carrot and raisins over batter and blend until evenly distributed.

Went to a baby shower brunch today.
I baked chocolate cupcakes and a quiche to take (and more cupcakes and another quiche to keep home)

I don't blame you, Babe, for not baking -- 104º!!!! YIPES!!! I'm north of you about 30 minutes east of San Francisco. It also gets warm here, but not that hot! We were in the high 70s/low 80s yesterday.

I made the Weight Watchers Pineapple Angel Food Cake yesterday for a bbq and served it with fresh strawberries, pineapple chunks and a dollop of whipped cream. Everyone loved it. I will be trying your Pineapple Cookies soon.

Hope the weather cools for you and hope you are not near the fires that I hear are burning in the south.

I think I will bake some bread. It's cold and I can't stand that I am still using heating oil at the end of APRIL!!!!
