Dundee Cake

Dundee Cake with fresh raspberries
Aunt Renea taste testing cake

Lydia Sherman gave me a tea book called Having Tea by Tricia Foley. I was very excited to try the Dundee cake recipe. I had a slice recently at their house and it was delicious. I did not make homemade icing, I used Pillsbury vanilla frosting and fresh raspberries between the layers.

Homemade Apple Pie

Warm Apple Pie
Pie ready to be baked!

My aunt Renea showed me how to make a pie crust from scratch. Her crusts are always tender and flaky. I learned not to over work the dough when rolling out and other valuable techniques from her. The apple pie was served for dessert after dinner. Yummy!

Recipe Card Holder

I have been looking for something to put recipe cards in for awhile. One day, when I was looking on sewmamasew.blogspot.com, I found a pattern for this. I stayed up late making it but it was worth it. Now I have a place to put all my recipe cards.

Ingredients
Fresh Baked Scones

2 cups unbleached flour

2 tablespoons sugar

4 teaspoons non-aluminum baking powder

1/2 cup light olive oil or 1/2 cup real butter
