I was absent from here yesterday because I was baking, and baking and baking some more...Sammy Jo my oldest granddaughter is in Beta Club. If you are not familiar with that, it is like The National Honor Society. They are chosen by their teachers for entry into the club. The club can be helpful with college scholarships, etc.....The Beta Club is having a bake sale Monday during parent-teacher conferences, to raise money so they can go to the State Convention in November in Nashville. They have a heck of a lot of money to raise...not sure they will make it.....anyway I baked 8 loaves of dessert bread..2 pumpkin..2 applesauce..2 banana..2 apple pumpkin....I baked 5 cakes..1 strawberry..1 orange..1 carrot..1 red velvet..1 lemon..Then on top of all that I had to bake my youngest granddaughter's birthday cake as her 10th birthday is tomorrow. I baked her cake but was not happy with the way it raised so I baked another one just like it and it did the same way. So I put them on top of each other..hoping they taste alright. Now as I write this we have lost our power, hope I don't lose this. Well it was a good thing that I had the mind to copy this blog and put it into my notepad because I would have lost it all otherwise. Our power is back on now after 90 minutes. The reason for the outage was a combine hit a guide wire on an electric pole in the field down the road and broke the pole in half.
I know in your recipe section you have a recipe for red velvet cake that sounds great. That is a lot of baking you did. You have got to be exhausted. I'd love to see Sammy Jo be able to go to Nashville.
