Weekly Challenge: Victory …
The prompt: In your photo this week, focus on the win, the victory — that moment of glory and pride you’ll remember forever.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I don’t bake often, almost never, but when I do it’s never been from scratch… until last year when I wanted to surprise my daughter with a homemade cake that I had baked. I wrote this post on my other blog and thought I would share it here today as my ‘victory’ challenge 🙂
I decided to make a pound cake in a bundt pan. I mixed all ingredients, well, except for one which I couldn’t find in the pantry and figured it wasn’t all that important … how much of a difference could a tsp of baking powder make anyway.
I even melted some chocolate to add to the pound cake… thought it would give it some oomph and who doesn’t like at least of dash of chocolate in a cake.
Into the oven it went and then it was only a matter of waiting to see if it would come out of the cake pan in one piece ! Yay… it did.
Maybe the baking powder would have made it a little taller but I like to think of it as a petite pound cake.
The victory cake complete with candles 🙂
Weekly Challenge: Treat …
The prompt is: This week, share with us a photo of something that you consider a marvelous treat.

Cliche though it may be, a treat for me was when my daughter took me into NYC and we went to Dylan’s candy store… and also stopped at Serendipity II for their famous frozen hot chocolate which I adore…and do not share 🙂
