The Cake Slice Bakers go Vintage!!!

Shoo-fly Cake | From My Sweet Heart

Well this is a day I’ve been waiting for since I began blogging!  I LOVE baking CAKES!  And when I began blogging, I happened upon a couple of blogs that featured a group known as The Cake Slice Bakers.  They always featured some amazing cakes, yet I could not find much information about them.  A secret society of cake bakers?  I wanted in!  I am so fortunate to have been invited to be a member.  The women in this group are fun and fabulous bakers and you can find them listed at The Cake Slice Bakers.  What book are we baking from? . . . . .

Blueberry Pie Ice Cream | From My Sweet Heart
