We have opened a new cookbook for this year's edition of Cake Slice Bakers.........

Each month The Cake Slice Bakers are offered a selection of cakes from the current book we are baking through. This year it is Little Everyday Cakes by Candace Floyd. We each choose one cake to bake, and then on the 20th - never before - we all post about our cake on our blogs. There are a few rules that we follow, but the most important ones are to have fun and enjoy baking & eating cakes!

Follow our Facebook, Instagram, and Pinterest pages where you can find all of our cakes, as well as inspiration for many other cakes. You can also click on the thumbnail pictures below to take you to each of our cakes. If you have a blog and are interested in joining The Cake Slice Bakers and baking along with us, please send an email to thecakeslicebakers at gmail dot com for more details.

The Cake Slice Bakers also have a new Facebook group called The Cake Slice Bakers and Friends. This group is perfect for those who do not have a blog but want to join in the fun and bake through this book.

I really love that this cookbook features "small" cakes.  There are only 3 of us in our family and with the pandemic we rarely have guests anymore so a little cake provides the treat we seek without the waste that I hate.  My freezer only has so much room.  

It is a new year and a new book - Little Everyday Cakes - and our choices for January 2021 were ~

Due to the Pandemic, Christmas looked different this year.  Instead of a large gathering with all of our family and friends we had several small gatherings.  On Christmas Eve morning our children from Frank's first marriage joined us for brunch.  I served up Shakshuka, Citrus Salad, Bacon Ranch Potatoes and this lovely loaf cake for dessert topped with fresh whipped cream.

I used dried rosemary in this cake as I didn't have any fresh on hand.  The author suggests using thyme if you are not fond of rosemary but I found the touch of rosemary in this loaf was perfect.
