baking

I was never into baking, ever, or anything in the kitchen really. But I was intrigued by the footed cake platter from Crate in Barrel when we were registering, and I got it at my bridal shower (Thank you Aunt Patty). Now I can't get enough, I don't know if I just like the way it looks on the counter or what but ever since we moved into our new house I feel like I bake something at least once a week, darn sweet tooth. This past weekend we had Mom and Mike over for a cookout!! On the menu: Steak, Sweet Potato fries, squash/zuchinni, jalepeno/cheese bread, and of course my famous salad. Dinner was delicious!! Of course we couldn't put on such a production without dessert, Spice Cake it was!!! We had bought mum's/pumpkins/straw that morning, I was feeling very fall-ish and spice cake fit the theme. I traded Apple Sauce for the Oil, Egg White egg beaters for the Eggs, and voila a very tasty spice cake for almost half the calories!!
