Just a few pictures to update you on our kitchen. It’s actually come a bit further than this, but I don’t have those pictures off the camera yet.
Progress…
August 6th, 2010Vanilla Bean Pound Cake
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.
Chocolate Ice Cream Cake (and a Genoise)
July 5th, 2010I’ve been rather sporadic with my baking and posting and updating of my list of heavenly cakes lately, but I like to think I have a good excuse. I don’t, really, yet, other than “I’ve been busy”, but I’m sure everyone has the same problem. I did manage to bake the Génoise Rose last week, again a little too late to get it posted in time to be in sync with the rest of the heavenly cake bakers group.

Lazy Blogger
June 28th, 2010I’ve been a lazy blogger. I did manage to bake the chocolate covered strawberry cake, and the coconut cheesecake, but they were a bit late for the Heavenly Cake Bakers’ schedule, so I didn’t post about them, but I will now, because it’s been too long since I posted.
Chocolate Covered Strawberry Cake?
June 14th, 2010
I think my husband might be right...
...maybe I shouldn't bake tonight.
I think he's mostly worried I might get distracted and fall into the basement.
Besides... my baking supplies are in the dining room.
