But lately, since my sister got me a rose-shaped cake tin which I have always desired, I got into a cake-tin frenzy, searching for all sorts of designs that would turn out beautiful cakes. Of course a beautiful cake would not mean much without a beautiful~tasting cake. So I got busy trying to develop new recipes to fit my tin! If my oven could talk, I'm pretty sure it will tell me it needs a good rest from all these baking! :-)
