Bake Me a Cake

This week on my blog, we're getting crafty in the kitchen.

Whether you're giving a gift to a neighbor who just

moved in or a token to some friends who invited you

over for a barbecue, something homemade isn't

really expected but is always appreciated.

Especially if you're savvy in the cooking or

baking department.

I made this German Apple Cake for a party over the

weekend. Apples are always available in the market

and the recipe was simple to put together.

Similar to yesterday's post, here's how I packaged it:

I left the cake in the baking pan, wrapped it up in an

extra-large cloth napkin and knotted the ends.

Then I added a vintage cake server.

{My friend loved it!}

When the hostess decides to add this cake to the

dessert buffet, she can easily warm it up in the

oven before serving it on a platter.

TADA! She gets to use the cake server, too.

{And I foresee that this will come in handy

in her future parties.}

You'll have to decide beforehand if you want to

give her the baking pan as part of the package

or whisper to her that you'll collect it

before you leave.

No blah foil. No blah plastic.

Just everyday TADA! objects that can be used

over and over again.

Not to mention TADA!-tasting cake, too.
