treats


Friday... another Jean's Day (donations going to the Alzheimer's Association this week) and the day before Valentine's Day and Jeremy's birthday. Caroline was the last birthday so she was up to bake a cake for Jeremy. Fortunately for Caroline, her mother, Bonnie, was making a trip into Buffalo and offered to bake Jeremy's cake and bring us cookies. Bonnie is a retired school teacher who keeps herself busy with two part-time jobs and doing things she loves to do. One of the things she loves to do is bake. Caroline told me that Bonnie was asked to bake wedding cake cookies that will be given as favors at a wedding. I hear that Bonnie will be decorating these with candies that look like pearls and I will be anxious to see the final result.


Caroline and Bonnie
We were teasing Caroline at lunchtime that we were going to kick her off the birthday list and replace her with Bonnie. But even though Caroline often has peanut butter sandwiches for lunch, her cooking skills are not to be sneezed at. She made Jeremy a lovely and tasty Oreo cake for his birthday last year.


Jeremy cutting his Holy Cow Cake. Paula remembered that this same cake used to go by a different name a few years back. Does anyone remember the Better Than Sex Cake?
