Something New

Hi Everyone!

I hope everyone had a great weekend.

I have a love/hate relationship with Sundays. I love the easy going and laid back feel of them.  I hate that its the beginning of the week.  Which means tomorrow is Monday.  Which means the beginning of the work week.   Today, however,  I was channeling much more love than hate.

Today I tried something new.  Today I baked a cake. From scratch. Today I let go of my fears and did it.  Today I won a battle in the war against my insecurities.  Today I did this...
 
 
 
 
 

 
 
Cream cheese pound cake.  It was delicious.  Reminded me of my great grandmother who baked the most phenominal cakes.  I got the recipe from here. 
 
 
So have you overcome a fear and tried something new recently?  Do tell.  Until next time....

    Looks delish! I love baking, I had a fear of baking until a few years ago and I just decided I was going to bake until I could do it without hesitation. Keep it up!

    I was the same way! I was afraid to bake, and thought I'd fail at it. That's all changed and now I love backing from scratch its that satisfaction of knowing all your ingredients are fresh and saying I made this! Congrats your cake looks so good!

      Hi there! Thank you so much! Funny thing is I just baked your lemon strawberry bread last night! I brought it in to work to share and it was a huge hit! How coincidental is that? As I was baking it I actually thought to myself how I wish I could bring you some. Thanks for sharing the recipe. Hope you are doing well.

    Can you share the recipe?! I'm a cake addict and this looks exactly like the ones that I make -- however, -bows head- I use a boxed cake. Lol.

    Looks tasty!
