Busy in the kitchen

With all the Memorial Day festivities scheduled for Sunday and Monday, I had a lot of baking and cooking to do today. Well, mostly baking.

Not sure how this will turn out....




Looking forward to this....

If you don't hear from me for the next few days, it's because I'm trapped under this mountain of dirty dishes. But don't worry--most of the dishes were used for cakes and frosting, so I'll lick my way out soon enough. Recipes are coming!
