Next is Boston Cream Cake, had that last night at a birthday party and it was amazing!! I really want to quit sugar, but it's hard at times like last night when I love sweets so much. Just ordered a KETO dessert book and am hoping to find some good recipes I can use for Christmas, the family will like, and will be much healthier for us.

It was like nothing else in the world that I had ever had.

I wish I had thought to get his recipe.

...with plain old vanilla buttercream frosting.

I am currently seriously stuck on the chocolate & chocolate chip flavor from the Nothing Bundt Cakes franchise that, fortunately or unfortunately, is less than a mile from my house.

Lol. Not a huge cake fan but I will take some German chocolate just for the frosting. Yum.

One of my favorites.

I could create a long long list.

The only cakes I don't like:
Fruit cake
Cake with chocolate icing. (Too sweet)

I love to bake and have baked many different cakes for sale at silent auctions etc.

I am doing a gingerbread spice bundt cake, and Italian Cream cake and (More than likely) a carrot cake for 3 couples in my Sunday School class who purchased them last year. The deal is they bid in the live auction and they can order a cake of their choice, when they need it and pick out what they want. I offer this for 6 cakes, and the bidding stops when 6 bids are remaining; everybody pays that bid amount.

For the Silent Auction I will probably make chocolate pound cake but I may make limoncello cake . I have made rum cake, bourbon cake, cream cheese coconut pecan pound cake, and others.
