Shesh, has another week gone by already? Some weeks I’m not all that jazzed about the TWD selection, sometimes I’m in excitement mode, and then there are weeks where I’m neither jazzed nor excited. This week initially started out jazzed, then turned lukewarm. When I initially heard the title, “Chocolate Cream Tart” (selected by Kim of Scrumptious Photography) I got excited because who doesn’t get excited when they hear the word, “chocolate”. Then I looked at what was entailed, don’t ask me why, but the technique seemed like a bit of a let down. I have no idea what I expected when I heard “Chocolate Cream Tart”, but I do know it didn’t involve what sounded like a glorified chocolate pudding thrown in a tart shell. Well, sometimes it’s good to have low expectations, or none really to speak of. This was PHENOMENAL!   Click to continue…

TWD ~ Berry Not-So-Surprised Cake

One of these days I’ll get around to taking some pics and showing you what great taste my Mom has, that among the many other things I’ve been meaning to do for this blog! Mary Ann of  Meet Me in the Kitchen chose Dorie’s Berry Surprise Cake and I wanted to make two cakes, one in the quaint little mold I had and another in a regular cake pan.   Click to continue…
