Lemon jelly roll birthday cake! I made this cake for my husband’s birthday earlier this month. The lemon curd filling was soooo amazingly sweet I canceled the buttercream I was going to put on top. I enjoy the challenge of making a roller genoise cake.

My log has something to tell you: Eat me! I am so pleased with how my first Buche de Noel turned out! For those who don’t know, it’s basically a rolled cake Yule log! Inside the log is a genoise sponge with walnut rum buttercream. Outside is a chocolate butter cream. I’m amazed at how light and airy it is for being so log-like. @ Jackson, Michigan

If you have lots of Thanksgiving dishes left over clogging up your fridge, make a Thanksgiving Leftover Pie! It was a great way to clear out our fridge by layering stuffing, turkey, mash and cranberry sauce. Cook in the oven until the crust is crisp and serve with leftover gravy!

Hello, my Slapdashers! I am so sorry I’ve been away from this page for a while. I’ve been spending all my free time on house renovations and trying to learn the organ! I recently got back into the kitchen to bake a delicious apple crumb pie. Really, why have a top crust on apple pie when there are some great alternatives.

Happy Pride Month! Here’s a very special pride cake I made this week for our own pride celebration at home. I went through a lot of different thoughts when making this cake. I was thinking about the rights LGBTQ people have achieved in recent years, but also the many more obstacles of discrimination that we’ve yet to overcome. And while we fight for those rights, we also need to stand up for the rights of other disenfranchised people, and not be self contained in our own community. So have some cake, continue the q***r liberation that was started at Stonewall, and stand up for human rights!
