Hello purdy thing!

Do you see this deliciousness? Right now I feel I could write a book on how to make a nursing mamma and baby happy … firstly bake her a cake without gluten or corn. Secondly, grind up some sugar to make your own frosting without corn in it. Thirdly…make it a BIG cake!

This is what my sister in law Stephanie did for me for my birthday, and thereby made me a very happy and full mamma! The cake is delicious, which I am not quite sure how she achieved since it is extremely tricky to bake without gluten and corn. I am struggling not to eat the whole thing at once. It is sitting on my kitchen counter staring me down….

Thank you Stephanie, you are the best best bestest!!! (For those of you who are not familiar with Steph’s cooking, she has a fabulous blog: www.glutenfreebynature.com. Check it out!)

    Stephanie is the most creative cook. I think we have another Julia Childs on our hands! It sure looks yummy, but finding the time to “grind sugar” with 3 three little ones is a feat to mastered!

    Happy Birthday!

    I remember coming to Manchester – can’t remember if I was bringing Gram up or if she was there – and a wonderful aroma greeted us – Stephanie was baking brownies at 13 or 14 yrs. old – A sign of what was to come!!! Read some of the recipes and ideas on the website – it is sooo GREAT!!!
