One Beautifully Made Delicious Treat


I always bring dessert for thanksgiving.  This year the family requested red velvet cake.  Thanksgiving dinner was an upscale affair this year!  The table was beautifully set.  No jeans were allowed at the dinner table, so I had to make my cake "match" the table!  To kick it up a notch I added the perfect finish to my 4 layer heavenly treat, crushed pecans and spirals to line the top of the cake instead of just a regular shell boarder.  It was beautiful and delicious!  It was also a very large cake, I wish I'd taken pictures of the enormous slices that covered an entire saucer!  Everyone enjoyed the treat.  We all know hat the best thing about thanksgiving is eating leftovers the next day.  The next morning we had the smoothest, most delicious coffee and red velvet cake for breakfast.  Needless to say it was a hit. Everyone enjoyed!  I hope you alls thanksgiving was as wonderful as mine was!  Now to prepare for Christmas! ❄⛄🎉

My Masterpiece

I am my worst critic .. well my second worst, I do believe my dear husband is my worst/best critic!  I embrace criticism.  It's useful and promotes improvement. It's rare that I'm EVER completely satisfied with a cake!  My usual process is to complete the cake, then take pictures and study the pictures.  I'm not sure why, even though the cake is right infront of me, I can see the finished product through a different lens when I look at the photo.  After looking at the picture, I usually say, "I should've done more of "x" .. less of "y", and so forth and so on."  But not with this cake!  It was beautiful.  The finished product was amazing. After looking at this cake, there was absolutely NOTHING that I would have done differently.  I actually kept staring at it trying to find something, anything to criticize.  So, with all of that said, I'm proud to present to you, my masterpiece!  This was a special cake, designed by me for my Pastor's 60th Birthday!  A special cake for a special person! Enjoy
