Just a quick post to remind my fellow heavenly cake bakers about the list of the cakes in Rose’s Heavenly Cakes that I have put together. I just updated it with the recent cakes. If a cake has a line through the title, that means we’ve baked it since the group started last fall. If it has a link to one of Marie’s posts, but doesn’t have a line through and a date next to it, that means Marie baked it before the group started. The lines through the dates are just for me to keep track of my own progress on cakes I’ve made and cakes I haven’t. If no line through, no link, and no date, that means it’s not on the schedule and has not yet been baked by any of us, including Marie, so isn’t an ideal choice for free choice week.

Heavenly Cake List
Wednesday, September 1st, 2010Chocolate layer cake with Caramel Ganache
Tuesday, August 31st, 2010I’m going to do a quick all-picture post, because a) I’m already late posting this, and b) I’m on vacation today and don’t really feel like spending a lot of time in front of the computer, which is why this is late to begin with. 
Strawberry Shortcake
Monday, August 23rd, 2010Ok, so it’s supposed to be marionberry shortcake with the heavenly cake bakers this week, but my husband says “marionberry” is the mayor of Washington, and there was no mayor of Washington to be found in my grocery store’s freezer section, so I used fresh strawberries from Herrles, supplemented with a handful from my own patch of 5 everbearing plants. How can you beat that?
Plum and Blueberry Upside Down Torte
Monday, August 9th, 2010I’m back!
I think this week’s heavenly cake bakers choice was perfect timing. It’s definitely quick and easy, but it also involved heating a sugar syrup on the stove, so I got to use the new gas stove, as well as my new oven. We don’t have our cabinets yet, but everything else is in the kitchen. My good friend Matt and his girlfriend came over on Saturday afternoon and helped us move the new appliances in, as well as move the fridge and our old extra free-standing cabinet back into the kitchen from the dining room, so we can cook again!
Vanilla Bean Pound Cake
Monday, July 12th, 2010This week’s heavenly cake post will be my last for a little while. I have no more oven. Or sink. And all of my baking supplies are in boxes. 
No more fridge
The fridge (and everything else needed for day-to-day survival) has been moved into the dining room. Unfortunately, baking supplies somehow don’t qualify. 
No more stove
But I have a new oven! It just happens to be sitting in the garage , waiting for the kitchen to be gutted and rebuilt from the floor to the ceiling. We’ve figured out what we want for cabinets, and have an appointment to order them tomorrow evening. We’ve already bought everything needed for re-wiring the room (who builds a kitchen with 3 outlets, including the one for the fridge?), and we have 2 new sinks and 2 new faucets waiting on standby. The ‘island’ you see in the middle of the pictures above is one that Jay threw together so we could decide whether the kitchen really had enough space for one.
