The cakes have just come out of the oven as I begin typing up this post. I penciled in my notes on pp 58-60 in RHC… noting that I forgot to add two whole eggs to the egg yolk mixture — I noticed them in the little dish beside the mixer after the two cakes …

CuppyCakes
So yesterday I thought I’d bake up some cupcakes — maybe even attempt to sell a few at our book-sale. Yes, we have an ongoing book sale in the yard this week as (oldest son) Daniel acquired several thousand used books from a guy who apparently buys old library cast off”s. I decided to bake …
A sunny birthday cake
Here’s the finished cake… The White Velvet Cake with Lemon Curd filling and Neoclassic Buttercream I used fondant to cut out the flowers of three sizes to randomly place all over the cake and buttercream to fill the centers, dots and border around the base of the cake. My goal was a sunny-cheerful birthday cake… …
Oooops. #2 Golden Neoclassic Buttercream
I knew there’d be posts like this. I just hoped they wouldn’t happen often. Or this soon. I’d gotten the kitchen all cleaned up from the cake debacle and I was content with the now cool cake and so it was time to proceed with preparing the frosting. I”d decided to make the Golden NeoClassic …
Ooops #1 White Velvet Cake
I decided to make the White Velvet Cake – page 17 – but with Lemon Curd filling instead of milk-chocolate Ganache. Seems better to me for the birthday cake today. The recipe is straightforward – a butter cake – I’ve made it before for wedding cakes. Simple. Glad it’s in this book. So I decided …

I love this recipe for lemon curd. It could be called: Lemon Dream. So, I needed to make a special birthday cake today — special, bcz it was for a dear friend whose husband’s been hospitalized and he wanted to treat his wife to a special birthday dinner. He mentioned to Wes that she likes …
Another day in the kitchen…
I’ve been preparing some ingredients for the next cake… and so I decided to bake some layer cakes and put them in the freezer. I like to use this method (baking and then freezing cake layers) bcz I’ve found that the cakes are much more dense and moist this way. Could be, however, that such …
my inspiration
I cannot say this often enough… and so I want to begin this series of letters in my ABellaCake journey by reiterating that I’m so grateful to the Lord for the great blessing of His love and for the opportunity of my life — and I’m so grateful to and for my husband and family. …
at long last…
I’m smiling as I sit here typing about my journey… and seeing this blog & cake site is FINALLY becoming a reality is one of the first steps on this journey!! This is such an important thing to me… and, as with most things, in my life, I can’t seem to do something until …
