We have decided that the icing is better today than it was yesterday. I think it just needs time for the flavors to meld together. (And I did make it on Wednesday so it had aged for a day.)

Looks good, Mike.

I did not bake on Thursday, but I made the White Chocolate Cream Cheese frosting for Sarah's cake and frosted it. We all enjoyed a slice as a fitting end to her birthday dinner.

A lot of baking happened on Friday. I began by baking Pumpkin Oatmeal Muffins in my Nordic Ware pumpkin muffin pan. I also baked two batches of my half whole grain flatbread. I used whole wheat pastry flour instead of regular whole wheat flour as one of the whole grains, and it worked out well. I added 2 Tbs. of Everything Bagel topping to the first batch of dough. For the second batch, I sprinkled the crackers with a garlic and salt blend, but the blend was more salt than garlic, so they were overly salty. My final project was to make the dough and form it for Butterscotch Apple Sweet Rolls, using filling I had frozen almost two years ago. I will refrigerate it overnight and bake them tomorrow morning.

I know Sarah enjoyed her birthday cake and dinner BA.

That she did, Joan. I baked a Pumpkin Snacking Cake this afternoon, so that we would have dessert tonight, since the birthday cake is gone.

This morning, I baked the Butterscotch Apple Sweet Rolls, and everyone loved them. I checked with the vendor at the farmers market, and she tells me the Rubenette apples will be available again this month, so I will be sure to buy some and make filling to freeze.

I made a pizza and we had that for supper.
