Daring Bakers – Where’s the Cake??

Posted in Uncategorized on December 1, 2008 | 1 Comment »

It’s coming, I promise.  I just got back to my computer after a 5-day absence.  I actually got my cake done more than 2 weeks ago, but the craziness of the past 5 days made it absolutely impossible to get to the computer and complete my post.  So, it will be coming, hopefully later today.  Stay tuned [...]

Since the name of this blog is ‘Baking in Oregon’, I thought it would be a good idea, from time to time, to talk a bit about my home state.  I was born here, have grown up here, and will probably spend the rest of my life here.  I’ve traveled a bit, and seen some [...]
