On Saturday I was a wild woman! #1 I (we) stayed home the entire day - thus used NO gasoline and I actually baked a cake...unplanned, on the fly! I used the ingredients I had on hand with no recipe*** (well, I had recipes for the cake and found another for the icing and then grabbed my fruit....) and it turned out quite delish - devil's food with layers of buttercream (home made with REAL butter) frosting and fruit (peaches,grapes,pineapple & strawberries). Needless to say, the family was pleased.***OK...edited to add...I used a recipe for the cake portion and a another recipe for the buttercream frosting but not a recipe that was all together (does that make sense???)...I kind of had to find stuff that worked with what I had on hand and then put them all together...I am blushing that I said NO recipe...just that this cake wasn't a recipe in itself.
That does look delicious! Thanks for stopping by my blog:) Come back anytime!
ReplyDeleteYum! I must have the recipe. Anything with chocolate, frosting, and fruit is a winner in my book!
ReplyDeleteOh my word girl! Pull up an extra chair! I am on my way!! YUM!!!
ReplyDeleteWoW! That cake looks amazing!
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by my blog.
I miss South Carolina so bad...and we look like kindred spirits in the Non-profit development biz!
I'm going to have to search your blog to deduce what part of SC you are from!
Nevermind...I think you might be from GA...which is even BETTER!
ReplyDeleteIf you are from Franklin Co., I'll eat my hat!

My mom grew up in Lavonia (most of her childhood friends are still there) and my husband's family is from Greenville!
ReplyDeleteSmall world!

ReplyDeleteI'm a baker and I'm shocked. Just shocked that you could bake a cake without a recipe. You're a rock star!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the sweet comment on my blog.
Oh YUMMY! Now I want to go bake a cake!

ReplyDeleteUn-buh-leev-uh-bull. Unbelievable. Really, how did you do that?
ReplyDeleteAnd by the way, if there is any left, could you please FedEx me a piece, it looks awesome, just awesome! (I am still not comprehending how you did that because I don't think that even Martha type people do that, do they?)
Yum. You are a star!
That looks absolutely delish!

ReplyDeleteHi! Finally a moment to stop by for a visit! The cake looks yummy and after two weeks of eating out, I am ready to return to the kitchen myself! It looks like you guys have been busy this spring. Maybe summer will bring some down time for us all. Have a fabulous weekend!
