Baking for Saralyn's Birthday Party











Let the baking begin.... For Saralyn's first Birthday, I spent several days baking in the kitchen. In order to really appreciate this, you must understand the difference between 'cooking' vs. baking. I love to cook and can whip up just about anything in the kitchen. But my baking skills have not been fully developed (i.e. I'm not much of a baker). My baking history consists of my annual batch of chocolate chip M & M Christmas cookies. With that all said, I made my first birthday cake... a butterfly cake. Or should I say a flock of 6 butterfly cakes and 4 batches of sugar cookies (yes from scratch). I also made Saralyn's personal "smash" cake with sugar free icing made from Lite Cool Whip and sugar-free pudding.
