Baking

TLDR: Baking
Eagleheart shared her experience of baking a honey cake with homemade buttercream icing and a Victoria sponge, both of which were well-received by her husband. She expressed enjoyment in both the process of baking and the pleasure of eating the cakes. There was a brief technical issue with uploading photos, which was resolved with assistance from Catsmother. Upon seeing the uploaded photo of the Victoria sponge, forum members complimented the cake's appearance. Catsmother, marti, and Lammchen showed particular enthusiasm for the cakes, with Lammchen noting the challenge of baking due to the temptation of eating the sweets. Jasony related by sharing a memory of enjoying homemade pizza, highlighting a shared appreciation for home-cooked treats among the forum members.
Yesterday I made a honey cake with homemade buttercream icing and it got my husband's seal of approval!
So this morning I was up very early and decided to bake a Victoria sponge filled with buttercream icing and it came out great!
I must say that I find it very relaxing and rewarding to make cakes! I really enjoy the process and eating it is an added bonus ??
 
This is the Victoria sponge with buttercream icing ?

I haven't done much baking this year because the stove is mostly out. Nonetheless, I remember baking pizza, or maybe my mom did it, lol, and how much I liked the pizza. It was always hamburger and made with that Chef Boyardee mix.
