Summer Cakes
Do you have a whole slew of things you celebrate in the summer? Me too. Let's make some celebratory cakes.
I have a very split family. We are strictly summer and winter. Geminis and Capricorns. Partners and kids have added a few Spring and Fall dates to our calendars, but for the most part, everything happens in 3 weeks in the summer and 3 weeks in the winter.
And I, like any rational cake baking human, want to have a few tried and true cakes/treats that I can pull together pretty quickly to keep the house relatively cool, not waste ingredients (trying new recipes), and join the celebration.
I imagine that in another life, I was a cookbook writer, or I had a cooking show… or I was a pastry chef. If I was none of those, I was a recipe editor. I can read a recipe and tell you if it’s going to work… if the proportions are wrong, what to adjust. On a rare occasion a questionable recipe will surprise you, but most won’t. I don’t like to be jerked around by a recipe and neither should you.
So I’ve made you a list of my most cake tested recipes that you can nail this summer and get back to the party.
