Looks delish, med. And time-consuming. Way beyond my skill-set.
Thanks all. It is delicious, very rich. It's really not that hard either. You make a sponge cake in a sheet pan, then cut it to make the layers. Haven't made one in years. I used to make it once a year for my birthday. It has crumbled almond lace cookies and brandy buttercream as the decorations.

Thanks all. And here is the crumb. Not as tight as I got at lower elevations, but it holds up for sandwiches and is perfect for french toast.

My very first privately commissioned cake!
At our community's bake sale last month, two sisters asked if I could make a cake for their parents 50th Wedding Anniversary ... um
... sure, yeah, um, yeah, I can do that, I think 
So their Mom contacted me the other day and asked if I make Carrot Cake.... I have I got a recipe that will blow your socks off, I said.
She wanted to taste it before deciding, and insisted upon paying for it.
Her daughters had taken home one of my Rum Cakes and she said that she loved it. That wouldn't be a feasible option for a party of 50+ folks.
She wants a 1/2 sheet for the guests (she thinks) and a stunner for the head table...
Um, sure.
So I made her a tester six inch single layer all pretty like.
BUT WAIT!
Yesterday, I got another request for a small Carrot Cake as a 55th Birthday Cake for this gal's husband ... sure I can make a 2 layer six inch cake, that should be fine for just two people.
Oh my gosh!!

Nice going, K-Girl. Before you know it we'll have to call you the Cake Boss.
I baked a loaf of Country "White" bread today. Two of the three cups of flour were whole wheat, but they were Prairie Gold white whole wheat flour. I suppose that qualifies.

Dunno `bout that one CG, I'm really not that good of a baker, I just play at it
Now you on the other hand ... geez, I'm not good at bread, I wish I was, well maybe not then we'd be eating it all the time.
DH just had his annual visit for that old man's club, y'know the one --- and Doc told him he needed to bring his BMI down. As we're walking out DH asks me, "What did he say?" YOU NEED A HEARING AID!!!

It's easy when you let the bread machine do the big part of the job. All I do is take it out of the bread machine pan, pat its little bottom and knead it a couple of times, then shape it and plop it into the bread pan. When it peaks over the edge of the pan at me, I banish it to the oven, then let it back out when it looks well-behaved.
OMG, I can SO relate to this!!!

CG, I've never tried a bread machine before, but my SIL has one and she loves her's ... I have far too many small appliances at this point ... isn't that an interesting topic for the group?
