BIZZY BAKES

We decided to have a Wild Card for this week's Ina Garden.  Since my granddaughter will be celebrating her birthday, at our home, I decided to make mini bundts.  She is only turning one so small cakes sounds appropriate.  I have decorated each of them differently.

This week is a special week for the ladies of Baking With Dorie .  Many of us have been together for one full year.  We have shared the joys and challenges of baking old and new recipes.  We have bonded and made new friends.  We found success and possibly a little failure.  All of it helped us grow in our baking.
