Okay somehow in following links and things, which I said I was going to cut back on considerably because you can get so caught up in reading about other’s lives that you forget you have your own, I came upon this great site…blog…site.

Pioneer Woman she calls herself, Ree is her name and food galore she dishes up. I admit to getting sidetracked by the how she met her husband story and attempting to learn new Photoshop tricks but the food is really what I was after.

I’ve been making her cookies rather regularly and she so lovingly makes up a printable pdf which came comes in quite handy.

I have my eye on the best lasagne ever who’s comments had me laughing out loud and the scrumptious looking rib eye steak which my husband will be ecstatic over.

Then! Oh then! I notice the up close and personal picture of a delectable piece of white cake with pink frosting!

Why oh why!

Now I’m a cake decorator by…hobby I guess. I bought myself the Wilton series when all my college friends where busy being social. I was in the kitchen struggling to make icing roses. I purchased my kitchen aid for my 21st birthday and my marble rolling pin for the 22nd. Yes I still have these items.

But truly what makes the cake is not the box mix you whip it up from. It is the license you take with ingredients and the light hand you use in putting it together.

As the official family celebration cake maker I’m always looking for new recipes to try.  Although I have been told that there will be a strike if I dare try to replace the old family secret celebration cake recipe which if I post they (family) will have to ship me off somewhere. So alas… you’ll have to guess.

BUT!

…also being a cake decorator a picture in Ree’s sidebar landed me here where I got lost again.

Bakerella. I have just begun to dig into her site but aside from being all about cake she’s got these darling cupcake pops which I think kids would adore making.

I’ve gone on long enough. Do enjoy the links.
