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….

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!

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.

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!
