Cakes and Pies!!

So, I have some more baking adventures to share with you. First of all, I made a pie from scratch. I've always wanted to try it, so i thought what better time then when there's fresh strawberries and rhubarb!

Secondly, I made a cake for a friend of mine's Grandparents 50th Anniversary Party. She asked me if I'd be interested, and I thought it was a great opportunity, so here's what I came up with.


Other than baking, things are going good with me. Work is good and definitely keeps me busy. The weather here is perfect right now, not too humid, but warm! I was at a friends cottage last weekend. I don't have any other summer holidays planned except for a couple weekend getaways. Happy Summer!!

Hi Nic, what do you mean you don't have any holiday plans? Isn't seeing us going to be a holiday? Just kidding!! I am more than impressed with what you do in the kitchen. Indeed, Gran would be so proud of you. From hereonin, I declare that you and Erica are the family's official cake and pie makers!
