Pumpkin Bars with Cream Cheese Frosting
Pumpkin Bars Make a Great Halloween Snack
Pumpkin bars with cream cheese frosting are the perfect fall recipe. These are good for any occasion. I have made pumpkin bars for Holidays like Christmas, Thanksgiving and even Halloween. There are several variations of these bars from more pie like to a cake type bar or a combination of both. My sister-in-law makes the best pumpkin bars. I'm good...but she edges me out on these, though I use the same recipe that she passed along to me. When it comes to homemade desserts for all the Hol...

Eggless Milkless Butterless Cake
Get your war cake!
Depression cake, also known as war cake, came about during the Great Depression. At that time, things like milk, butter, and eggs were expensive or hard to come by. They were also being conserved for use by the soldiers. People came up with this spice flavored cake as an alternative to traditional cakes. It is a dense, but very moist, cake. with lots of flavor. I like to top mine off with a little powdered sugar. It is great for people with dairy allergies and is sure to please the pickiest o...

Cake for Those who Hate to Bake
I love cake, but don't like baking
If you don't love baking, in fact if you would go as far as to say that you hate baking, then you are in the right place. I don't like baking, and I've somehow made it to this point in life with very little baking. I made the expected birthday cakes when raising my children, and have eaten my share of delicious cake, but am always looking for ways out of baking cake. Lets take a sometimes serious, sometimes humorous, but always helpful look at ways to have your cake and eat it too without n...

My First Fondant Cake: A Beginner's Experience
Actually My First Cake Ever
To me cooking, baking and anything to do with the kitchen has been associated with drudgery and oppression. Since I was a child and the girls were made to wash the dishes after family events and the boys left to fritter their time away I have avoided the kitchen and "women's work". I never expected that one day I would actually be excited about baking a cake and decorating it with fondant. So what changed? I saw pictures of these amazingly designed cakes made out of fondant (at the time had n...

Checkerboard cakes - incredibly easy and fun to make and serve
I can't remember how long ago it's been since I first heard of a checkerboard cake, but I was so impressed and fascinated with it that I could hardly wait to get a checkerboard cake pan set and make my own! If you've never seen a checkerboard cake, it's basically a three layer round cake that, when you slice it, the pieces come out in a checkerboard pattern, with alternating yellow and chocolate squares. Of course, it tastes delicious :-) You have to understand, first of all, that I am not ...

This pan has 3 tiers built right in so all my cakes come out perfect. Thanks to my tiered cake pan, now I can make my own beautiful 3 tier cake!

White Christmas Cake
A very different kind of Christmas Cake
I'm not totally sure of the origins of this cake. It came to me via my Mum and I know that she got it from a family friend. Ruth used to be a cookery demonstrator many years ago when British Gas had showrooms for their cookers and household appliances and she went to catering college although later ended up in a very different career!. Ruth's sister-in-law is Italian so that is one possible source although it is quite unlike the traditional Italian Christmas pannetone which is more a ...
