Made an expensive mac & cheese with fontina, parmesean, and mascarpone. Baked that with fresh mozzarella and nutmeg. Turned out fantastic. Tomorrow I'm going to try a new shortbread recipe. My younger sister used to make shortbread cookies once or twice a week but now I want to try for once
. Both the mac&cheese and the future shortbread are recipes from Jamie Oliver's books (naked chef etc.).

Nothing baking today, but tomorrow I start my first of two wedding cakes in two weeks. So tonight I am getting everything ready to start the carrot cakes tomorrow - altering the recipe for the different sized pans. I have decided that I am going to do one of the two half sheet extra cakes chocolate. The bride doesn't know this yet, but I know there will be many kids there who won't like carrot.
Oh, and DH is buying me a new food processor (all I need is a shredder blade to replace the one he broke). I guess his guilt outweighed his desire to hand grate 10 - 15 pounds of carrots.

Oh, there is nothing like a food processor for grating...be sure to take pictures to share with us
Thanks Karen, pictures Saturday after the reception. Thought I would show off one I made 2 years ago. Took my "daughter" and I a month to make the daisies and leaves.

Oh Laurie - way too beautiful to cut! Such exquisite detail, you are very talented. I also love the bride and groom on top...tomorrow is our wedding anniversary, and the couple on top of our wedding cake was the same one his mom and dad used in the 1940s. AND we were married on their wedding anniversary. Maybe, decades from now, a new bride and groom will use that one again........

Oh Laurie, what a beautiful cake!!! It makes me want to get married all over again! And MexicoKaren, Happy Anniversary to you and your groom! How many years are you celebrating?
Thanks Karen and FM,
Yes, Karen, Happy Anniversary! There is actually a story to the bride and groom topper. The bride is brunette and the the groom is Asian and she wanted the topper to reflect that. So, I go hunting on the internet looking for interchangeable brides and grooms. I find them and order them and when they arrive, they looked really similar to the REAL bride and groom. It was amazing! People thought that they were one of a kind made just for them!

We are going out for dinner, but I have an old-fashioned oatmeal cake in the oven - hubby's favorite. Sure does smell good.

Oatmeal cake? Like a lazy daisy cake?
My Lazy Daisy cake doesn't have oatmeal, it is basically a white cake made with hot milk. If there is an oatmeal version I would love the recipe.
I'll find you a link to ~emz~ recipe. And I'll post mine later. I have to go dig it up.

DC friends - thanks for your anniversary wishes. This is only our third anniversary - took us awhile to find each other! We had a lovely dinner at a beach side restaurant and watched the beautiful sunset over the bay. I had a delicious salad made up of avocado halves stuffed with huge fresh shrimp in a chipotle mayo dressing. Greens on the side were dressed with a cilantro-lime vinigarette (sp?) Hubby had grilled salmon served with lobster mashed potatoes - I tasted them; they were wonderful. Came home and had oatmeal cake - perfect day. I feel very blessed. PS- there is now a link to the oatmeal cake recipe in the original post.
Yes, this one is similar to the recipe I learned from my Mom (though of course not microwave
). I was just curious because oatmeal was mentioned.
