Tuesday on Cake Thursday

Baking is like a drug to me; I need a fix at least once a week or I start to feel all twitchy and uncomfortable.

As it's just me, my boyfriend, and our cat (who's not much of a cake fan) at home, I realized recently (after having consumed half of a tart in one weekend) that I need something to bake for in order to avoid:

A. The dentist's drill
B. A sugar coma
C. Massive weight gain

Seeing that special occasions which call for cakes happen sporadically, I decided to create a planned bi-weekly event that would allow me to foist my experiments upon co-workers.

Hence, today is the beginning of ...




I plan on posting about the previous Thursday's cake on the following Tuesday. Why Thursday/Tuesday? It just seems right.

The first cake, to be shown here on the 3rd: Honey Cake from The Principles of Uncertainty by Maira Kalman

*You may have noticed that the Cake Thursday announcement mentions of the possibility of other baked goods...I still have not decided if I will keep the blog cake and nothing but cake, or sneak in the occasional tart or cookie. I guess I'll have to wait and see how well the pictures turn out!

that is a truly fantastic idea...your co-workers will think that you love them and are being selfless, when you are actually being self-serving! everyone wins--ingenious! :)
