Baking with Friends :)

Baking for friends is my favorite thing to do. It could be a selfish feeling when I get complimented on the treats, but I really just like to bring a little joy to the people around me.

Baking with my friends is even better. I was fortunate enough to have three friends help me complete some pre-spring break baking.

This is Melissa. She's one of my future housemates, a super hard worker, and possibly the sweetest person on the planet. She helped me start a cake for my friend Beth's birthday after we shared a yummy lunch of chicken and bruschetta.

I say "start" because we strayed too far from the recipe and the cake didn't rise. It tasted okay though, so my roommates got to snack on that one before I threw it out.

We sure had fun though! And the batter looked (and tasted!) delicious.

These lovely ladies are Jessica and Jillian. They're my brothers in APO. They helped me make cupcakes. Which were promptly destroyed by the masses. yummm!

I can't wait to bake with everyone again! Spring break gave me some great ideas, good thing there's only around 2 months until summer vacation, because I've definitely had enough of this snow!

Oh yeah, and HAPPY BIRTHDAY BETH!!! :) I hope you enjoyed your cake!!
