I've only had this a few weeks, and it's already been operated twice! I'm such a fan of the Hobart mixer. This is a 12qt. and weighs in close to 200#. Thank you Mom and Dad for a great contribution to this mixer in my work-in-progress kitchen.

Scones 2014
As a 'thank you' to our friendly realtor for helping us find our wonderful new home I finally got around to asking him what type of dessert he would enjoy. These may not look like much, but scones are fairly unique. Not understood by all, scones are made to be dry and crumbly and appreciated with a cup of tea or coffee. They are not a cake or a muffin...but their own slice of yumminess.
Also, I couldn't find my rolling pin or biscuit cutters (most things are still in boxes around here), so they are a bit more rustic looking and larger than I normally would make them. But tasty none-the-less!
Here are my Pecan-Mixed Berry Scones:
Veteran's Day Instructional Cake 2014
Becca got to plan and build a cake for her Dad to celebrate Veteran's Day. We worked together and made a chocolate cake. She chose strawberry bavarian cream as her filling and chocolate buttercream for the frosting. She added chocolate dipped strawberries to the top for decoration. I was very impressed with her determination to practice her piping for a while before putting her application on the cake. I taught her how to comb the sides and smooth the top of the cake. She also wrote 'Dad' on the cake with melted chocolate. This was a fun project to teach a kiddo how much hard work goes into creating a cake. I am very proud of Becca!
