I entered a national bake cook off but did not get in..but the best thing happen after I entered. I tried my test recipe on people that my husband works with and they helped me tweek my recipe. Then one of our friends-the husband made the recipe for his family. He said they loved it but he told me that it was not mine-and mine was better. I love to cook and I will cook just about anything. I love make desserts but I also love stews, soups, casseroles, slow cooking, --see just about everything. I will sometimes make things I may not like to eat but the pleasure of seeing other people enjoy it makes me happy. Well I made the most beautiful red velvet cake when I was about 25yrs old..and it was a cake that took me hours to make. Well,when me and my husband were walking out the door with it the cake holder came apart and my red velvet cake fell on the floor "cake first". I was heart broken and my husband just looked at me and did not laugh (I know he wanted to).
