Nikita Yay Nikita!!
Another one of a kind homemade cake. And thank goodness for her because Amy and I bake for our Saturday Bite, which usually means no Sunday Bake for us Until next week, Nikita, Amy and Georgia But mostly Nikita Georgia When one of your dearest friends asks you to help make "practice" cupcakes to mark a very special occasion can one really say no? Friend + baking + special occasion = the best afternoon Champagne cupcakes, homemade strawberry preserve center with buttercream frosting We tested a few ideas. The cupcakes were the same. All have strawberry preserve centers. The buttercream is the same, however for one batch we added some of the strawberry preserves. Maybe about a tablespoon so it wasn't so over powering. All were delish, but the champagne, strawberry flavor combo was fantastic. Thank you Nora!! Amy🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶 Do you remember the 21st night of September? Love was changing the minds of pretenders While chasing the clouds away Our hearts were ringing In the key that our souls were singing As we danced in the night Remember how the stars stole the night away Hey hey hey Ba de ya, say do you remember Ba de ya, dancing in September Ba de ya, never was a cloudy day 🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶 Yep, the 21st of September is a holiday in my house. For the occasion I decided to make this dandy "pizza" but in pie form. I switched out the plums for apples (what with the Autumnal Equinox as an immediate follow up to the 21st of September). I even shared with Trixie, as it is a holiday in my house. Share the love peoples!

Georgia and Amy AmyI haven't contributed much to the Sunday Bakery this Summer. I don't do much in the kitchen when it's hot. But here's another person's baked goods. Joan at work makes the best sheet cakes. My favorite is the vanilla. A coworker had a birthday recently and Joanie made a strawberry sheet cake. It was scrumptious! Sheet cakes are unappreciated but some. But not me dangit!!! GeorgiaI made these ginormous cookies today. The recipe calls to use 2 tablespoons of dough per cookie. It sounded a little much for me so I made some with 2 and some with 1. I'd lean more to using just 1. The 2 tablespoon cookies just came out too big. The recipe also calls for a lemon glaze. After 1 cup of butter and 2 cups (light brown and granulated) of sugar I really didn't want to add more sugar to it. They turned out just fine without the glaze. However feel free to dd it. Lemon and blueberry is a fantastic flavor combination. Blueberry Oatmeal Cookies with Lemon Glaze Prep time 20 mins Cook time 15 mins Total time 35 mins Ingredients

Nikita Nikita made some yummy strawberry muffins and all I got was this picture. :) Until next week,
Amy, Georgia and Nikita NikitaNikita made a rhubarb strawberry pie with a fancy crust. GeorgiaMade these cookies last night. These are one of Randy's favorite. How I remember this I don't know because he calls them something different every time.
Another name you will find them under is 'Smoke on the Mountain cookies" They are more brownie chewy than cookie. Delish every time. Happy Sunday, Nikita and Georgia AmyGeorgiaSavannah left this morning. On her way back to Maryland and her Junior year of high school. But while here she wanted to make macarons. So we did (You have to say that like Forest Gump) So we made these adorbs pink strawberry ones. Did they turn out perfect.. no.. Did they taste yummy.. Also no.. Just kidding.. They tasted really yummy. For the center we made a strawberry fluff using homemade strawberry preserves (thanks auntie) and homemade whipped cream. We added no sugar to the whipped cream. Just heavy whipping cream, whipped to stiff peaks, folded in a couple of good tablespoons to the preserves. Piped it onto one of the macaron cookies. Then sandwiched them together. We ate them all. With the bread baking this week, Amy understandably took a pass on the bake. Happy Sunday, Georgia and Amy |
