Maybe I should start baking my way through the Pie and Pastry Bible, when I finish Rose’s Heavenly Cakes. 🙂
Open-faced Double Strawberry Pie

Red Fruit Shortcake
This week, the heavenly cake bakers catch-up group is making the red fruit shortcake. I can kind of see where Mendy’s coming from when he says this isn’t much of a challenge, since it’s a genoise from another recipe, topped with fruit, and maybe some meringues crisps or whipped dairy of some sort. That being said, I made it anyway, since I have lots of strawberries in my garden, just looking for an excuse to be used. Plus, my shed’s finally finished, so I don’t have that as an excuse not to bake any more.
Mud Turtle Cupcakes
Just a quick post with a link to my mud turtle cupcakes from back in February. No time to bake this weekend, as my immediate family was up from NB visiting my grandparents, so I headed out there for a visit, since otherwise I wouldn’t have seen them this trip. I was also busy filling my shed with gardening tools. Pictures of that and updates on the gardens coming soon. 🙂
Chocolate Butter Cupcakes
It’s free choice time with the Heavenly Cake Bakers catch-up group. This week I decided on Chocolate cupcakes, with the golden neoclassic buttercream. One of my teammates at work mentioned something related to cupcakes on Friday, so I figured that would be a good choice for something to bring in to work on Monday (today). The buttercream was chosen because I ran into the Lyle’s golden syrup at the grocery store a little while back, and I haven’t had a good opportunity to try out the golden neoclassic buttercream since purchasing it. I’ve always just used corn syrup.
Let’s bake!
Swedish Pear and Almond Cream Cake
Just a quick note to give my fellow heavenly cake bakers the link to my Swedish pear and almond cream cake, from last fall. I skipped baking this weekend, since there’s a free choice coming up, and I spent much of the weekend up a ladder or on a roof, working on finishing up the main components of our shed. I did my first roofing job!
