Thanks Wendy, You always leave me such great comments!
I have yet to get into the cake pop craze, although, since I believe that icing is the best part of any cake, I would probably love them since the ratio of icing to cake is pretty high on them! Congrats/Condolences? on having no more teenagers!

I LOVE your birthday cake retrospective! (That swimming pool is amazing!) I have a similar group of photos of birthday cakes from years gone by. My baby also turned twenty this year. Unable to mail a cake, I mailed cake pops. Your cake recipe, having stood the test of time, must be a winner I will have to try!

Comment on Week # 6 Peter Reinhart’s Challah by saltandserenity

Hi Kavie, I am assuming you made Margo’s Challah with Elaine’s topping (and not Peter Reinhart’s challah). If the topping was too pale, I would suggest leaving it in the oven for an additional 5 minutes next time. It is also possible that when mixing the topping, you over mixed it. You want there to be some clumps in the topping. Good luck.

My challah while it was airy, the top didnt look like yours. The topping formed a crust on the challah. It wasnt golden brown with sugar flaks as pictured, what did I do wrong?

Coffeetablecookbook, that is too funny. I have never heard of another child who had that reaction! Perhaps they are brothers from different mothers. Hopefully your son’s reaction will pass soon, and he too will become joyful on his birthday.

I am in shock, my four year old cries whenever anyone sings the happy birthday song to anyone, ever. Including himself. He has been this way since he was a baby, I’m laughing so hard that someone else on this planet had a similar affliction. Beautiful pictures, the cake looks stunning! And happy birthday to your boy!

Good post. If coconut it good, then double coconut granola should be great. Thanks for sharing.
