2013: The Year of Cake!

For my New Year’s Resolutions, I always choose something frivolous. I just can’t be serious about anything for a full year, so I have fun with it. For example, I have resolved to play the lottery faithfully, have more fun, and go outside and play more. This year, I am declaring  THE YEAR OF CAKE.  That’s right. I plan to make a different cake every week of the year. Can you imagine? 52 different cakes. To get started off right, my husband bought me a book of vintage cake recipes (you’ll be hearing about this) to add to my current collection of cakebooks.

The picture above shows my new cake stand–also a gift from the man who knows the recipe to my heart–on the buffet in my dining room. It has a fabulous glass dome to keep cakes fresh (not that they last long with two pre-teen boys in the house). If my plans work out, I’ll be taking a new picture each week on the same stand. I hope you’ll come back and have fun with me throughout THE YEAR OF CAKE!
