Baking Away...

Pie, pie, me-oh-my... Smitten Kitchen's pecan, First Prize Pie's cranberry dream, Joy The Baker's sweet potato pie filling done for Wednesday. And some loaves of "stuffing bread," that I'm recreating with inspiration from a store-bought loaf that Karen introduced me to a couple years ago (but that QFC no longer carries). Bread with stuffing spices. 

I still need to make apple crisp for Joel and pumpkin pie, and some cranberry-orange breakfast rolls for Friday (and as a hostess gift). And, maybe some pretzel rolls if I go crazy. (Oh, who am I kidding? I'm totally making the pretzel rolls...)

Such a pretty little cake...

made by Erik and me for Bea's birthday. It's a fantastic white cake recipe from Glorious Treats called "Perfect Vanilla Cupcakes." Paired with my usual simple buttercream, and some sprinkles and sugared nasturtiums, it was the perfect cake for a wee 2-year old. We baked it in my 4-inch mini Bundt pan, and this one is two layers since we had enough batter for this and Modi's cake too.
