okay, so i know the phrase should be “like mother, like daughter”, but the loving bond between mother and daughter made me feel like the title warranted love. i know, i know…awwww! how cheesy. in any case, i have mentioned before that i developed my love of baking by helping my mom out when i was a kid, so i wanted to highlight a cake that my mom made for a work event this week.
vanilla and chocolate and pudding….AND chocolate covered strawberries, OH MY!! This cake has whipped cream icing- custard filling with fresh strawberries and bananas – chocolate and yellow pudding cakes- and chocolate covered strawberries cut in half dipped on both sides so the juices don’t run on the whipped cream. looks delicious, and i hear it was! i should point out that my sister is an amazing baker as well and has made some awesome cakes for her daughters’ birthdays and other events, which i will undoubtedly show you in the future.
as for me… more snow for us in nj! since nobody is going much of anywhere, if i were to bake this week i would be forced to eat it all myself or let it go to waste, neither of which sounds like the best of ideas!

You just can’t go wrong with old family recipes.
My grandmother taught me to bake so I understand the nostalgia that is involved.
And I’m thinking you should bake for security….who knows what this crazy snow will do? If it knocks out your electricity, a stockpile of cookies or brownies or cakes (or all….) could be used not only for food, but for added bodily insulation and possibly for fire fuel! And hey, you would get to bake….
Laura, I like your train of thought there. i think i am going to have to bake!
Awww, that’s such a pretty cake. I am sure your mom’s colleagues enjoyed it over and over.
Anytime you need someone to convince you to bake, you can count on me…
