'Twas brillig, and the slithy toves
Did gyre and gimble in the wabe;
All mimsy were the borogoves,
And the mome raths outgrabe.

Back at Last

For the last 5 months we've been remodeling our new 30 year old house.  My husband jokes that my cake skills made me really good at tiling, painting, mudding, taping and plastering. In truth, I did get pretty good at it but only because we had so much work to do.  We're exhausted, and though there are lots more projects we'd like to tackle, we're finished for now.  I am finally free to make cakes again.  I even have a second kitchen now - my cake kitchen.  I'm easing my way back into baking with 100 cupcakes for the faculty and staff at Vineyard Elementary School.  My son's 6th grade class made lunch and I volunteered to bring dessert. 

I made 50 Raspberry Cream Cheese Swirl and 50 Chocolate Chip cupcakes.  Thanks to everyone at Vineyard Elementary for working so hard and taking such great care of my children!
