Memorial Day

This memorial day was particularly exciting for me because I won first place in the ward bake off. There were three categories: Pies; Cookies; and Misc.

I made a tres leche cake from scratch with fresh whip cream and berries on top for the miscellaneous group (Martha Stewart recipe). I won first place in my category and then best overall!

I have never been known for my baking and or cooking skills, but that is all changing now!

Jack was really excited for me.
