Well all my friends know that cheesecakes are my specialty. However, I will not hesitate to try my hand at regular cakes like the strawberry cake with cream cheese frosting.....mmmm-mmmm! I tried it one Christmas and it was absolutely delightful...I mean it was lick your plate good. But I don't always hit the mark the first time round. That's why I marvel at works of Duff and his team on the "Ace of Cakes" show on the Food Network channel...He can get cake to do almost anything!
I was called on to do an anniversary cake, which is out of my comfort zone but I took up the challenge. This is what the first one looked like....it was a delicious disaster.... ;-)
Coming on to the Delivery date I was able to pull some things together and come up with something looking like this. :-)
The names on the cake were blocked out to keep the recipients anonymous.
So if you are like me and you try something new, don't worry if it doesn't look like the picture next to the recipe. Eat that one up, cause i'm sure it'll taste just as good, then when you do it over it just might look way better than the picture next to the recipe. Until next time readers, keep sharing the joy!

That sentiment resonates with me as it was something my parents often said when I was growing up. You will be very pleased with your results if you follow your motto - it has served me well and I use it to encourage my children. I too love cooking and baking so I am sure to be checking in often to see what new tasty visual delights are on your menu. Keep Baking !!!
