Sabbatical.

Can you call it a sabbatical if you take a break from one aspect of "work" but continue on in another? As in: I failed miserably to update this blog for...oh...a year and a half. But I did not fail miserably in continuing to bake stuff. And that's what this blog is all about, right? Baking stuff?

In fact, I venture to say that I bake MORE stuff than I did when I started this blog. Not only that, I bake more stuff while I juggle more stuff. As in:

• I met the bf, K.E.V. (at the risk of sounding sappy, and I am NOT sappy: sigh)
• I moved with Bean away from the Pulaski Castle and to the Jewel of Greenpoint
• I moved AGAIN away from Brooklyndia and into the EVill of McHattan
• I HAVE A PUPPY! and he has a wrinkle-face!
  

Now that you've been updated on my major life happenings, this is actually way WAY more important: a sampling of my baking experiences. So here we go...

I Bake Stuff: Cliff's Notes

Hummingbird Cake with Cream Cheese Frosting

Apple Dumplings with Caramel Sauce

Black Forest Cake - for Bean's and my HausCooling Party!

It's not sweet - but it was tasty! Shrimp Mofongo and Churrasco steak with Chimichurri Sauce
(made with my mom, JuniorMrs.)


Chocolate Babka (this was A-MAZ-ING - thanks for the recipe, Cakespy!)


Elvis's Fluffernutter Cake (or, as I like to call it, the King of Cakes)


Sing it now: Hot Cross Buns!


Red Velvet Whoopie Pie


Banana Cake with Chocolate Peanut Butter Buttercream


Chocolate Peanut Butter Layered Cake (this was K.E.V.'s favorite)


Cupcake Variety Pack
(I took a cupcake class at Butter Lane in the EVill; it was worth it)


Happy Superbowl! Football Cakeballs.

So, that should about bring you up to speed - more stuff has been baked than is pictured above, however not all baked things were documented. I blame myself, since it is entirely my own fault.

Oh! I have to share just one more photo, a photo of the new addition to our very small EVill apartment....





<------ WRINKLE FACE!
(yup, he's adorable)
