Weeking Cooking: February Bakes

I decided recently that I would share my baking on a monthly basis rather than doing all individual posts, or the gigantic wrap up post that I did last time. The plan is that on the last Saturday of each month I will share something about what I have made in the last month. This morning I did have the thought though that I should have done something about it being a leap year. Oh well, next time!

First though, I thought I would share the last couple of Bake It Boxes that I made. The monster cake was really the October kit but I only got to make it in January. Inside it is a marbled vanilla cake and it was delicious.





I ended up taking this next cake, the Giant Donut, to work for one of my team member's birthdays. Inside it is a brown sugar cake and the frosting has cream cheese in it. Yummo!




I still have two boxes here to make at some point which I will do eventually. I am, however, a bit devo because it appears that there might not be any more new ones to do. There wasn't one announced in January or February and now I am waiting to see if there is going to be a new one for March or not. If there are not going to be any more I have to find new ways to challenge myself. Watch this space.

I have posted before about the Queen Baking Club and this month I completed both challenges. The first one was for Best Ever Choc Chip Cookies, which were delicious and then three ingredient scones with jam and cream. Both recipes were winners!




Stay tuned for more baking next month.

  2. It’s really an impressive and creative work. I agree to that shadowing would have been great. It is nice anyway.

  8. I love that donut cake. Sweet! Not much cake baking going on around here, maybe once every other month or so, and nothing so elaborate.
