Cake & Cakettes are being mixed and piped and baked and frosted and decorated at a fast and furious pace in the eggbeater London labor-a-tory. Little teency tiny sugar snowflakes anyone? Homemade honey-marhmallow topping sitting like a mound of snow on a cocoa-brandy-yogurt cake for a secret afternoon snack? Caramel Cake to warm your frosty face during these cold cold days?
A little set of photos to tempt you on Flickr...
If you've arrived here from the amazing Daring Bakers-- welcome and thank you for stopping in! Feel free to check out recipes of interest or whatever tickles your tongues of fancy...
{More on The inFamous Caramel Cake Challenge when I have a day off.}
Dare I say it was daunting and delightful to be in direct contact with the Daring Bakers! I was devilish, and perhaps diabolical, not to divulge this delectable day until deemed ok! But I did! And I did not! And hundreds of dedicated Daring Bakers from all over the dynamic world dug in and left recipe demons in the dust! They dared! They were determined!
And me?
I.
Got to be a Daring Baker vicariously.
xo thank you!
Enjoyed your caramel cake - thanks!

No, thank YOU. It was an honor and a privilege to showcase your recipe. I learn something new every time I make it.

Thanks for a great recipe from one of the Alternative Daring Bakers. It worked great gluten free and I'm glad you like our tea. If you don't know them look up the Covert Garden Tea house, they have some great teas.
