Yummy

I will update on life in our house in another post some time this week. Right now I am just taking a moment to dream. :)

I love baking! This is a great thing for the boys as they like me to bake. However, the last few months I have quit eating all sugar foods. Mainly sweets and things as I realize that plenty of healthy foods have a certain level of natural sugar. This can create a problem when one loves to bake and hates to waste. But I think I have found a way around that.

I found an Easter Bunny cake that I really wanted to try and make for Easter. It called for carrot cake and coconut. I love both of these, but I am the only one in my family who does. I needed a victim. Someone to eat the bunny once I had finished. I found a good friend that was willing to risk her waistline in order to help me in my time of need. Now that is a good friend. I was trying to get it to her Easter weekend but as you can see from my last post, life was not allowing for that. Her reward for being so patient and understanding? TWO bunny cakes. I was able to make the cakes last night and deliver them this morning. Odd though, her husband's birthday is this week. hehehehe Maybe we just planned it this way ;) So here are the cakes. I had not placed the ears on the left one yet, but he did not stay that way too long.


So I made a mistake today. I went bake to the Betty Crocker website and found other cakes I want to make. Which means I will probably be looking for more victims. So here are the cakes that I would love to make.


This pirate one screams Noah. He loves his pirates. Hidden inside is a mini peanut butter cup, which screams John. :)
