Choosing quality cake, pastry, etc.

This is my list for good quality cake, pastry, torte, tarte...for the rare, special times we want to treat our families, ourselves.

Oh my God Orchid, I gained three pounds just looking at that delicious blog. I swear I could smell the bakery. Loved it!!!

Methinks, chatty, that Edelweiss might have a word or 2 to add. I'm not sure if it will be more hints to encourage or discourage selection of such pastries!

oh my, oh my, oh my! I love food displays - I just keep telling myself they must look better than they taste. Nice pictures, orchid. Tell us more about the trip.

Here's a recipe I just found for an almond bundt cake. It's on a website I subscribe to, Viking Cruises, and features almond paste.

I love cake frosting, especially that homemade stuff with the
confectioner sugar. When I was a kid mom would let one of us
lick the spoon and the other the bowl with the leftover frosting.
What an awesome memory!
