Flourless Orange Cake and Apple Caramel Cake

I am so inspired by so many bloggers out there, trying to make their lives better, taking care of their homes and their families!! 
Aside from home decoration, I have read lots of posts about food and got inspired!!!! Our weather here has been specially "convenient" to stay home and bake!!!Here is what I made!



Flourless Orange Cake, from Desire Empire blog

It looked GREAT!!!

She does such a better job "styling it", LOL!

I looked at her Carolyn's cake again, and comparing mine seems a little "undercooked"?
Anyway, we LOVED it!!! It was moist and citrusy (I invented this word right now)!!!

I felt this one was more of an "adult" cake, so today I made a "kid" pleaser cake:

Apple Caramel Cake, as I read on

Baked!
I have to say that it looked just like Sherry's cake!

I poured the caramel on top 
(I cannot believe I MADE caramel!!!)

Didn't I do a MUCH better job "staging" my picture this time??? Inspired by Carolyn and Sherry!!!

YUMMM!
Sherry mentioned she got a new cup and I also got a new cup so 
I enjoyed her recipe with tea in my new cup...

Next time you see a recipe that you think you will enjoy, TRY IT!!!
It made me SO HAPPY!!!

  1. Hi Claudine

    So happy that you made it and it is quite sloppy so I think it was probably cooked just fine. Glad you enjoyed it.

    The only cake I don't highly recommend on my list is the upside down pear cake.

    Warm wishes
    Carolyn
    Ps Hope it warms up for you soon.

    1. Hi, Sherry!
      THANK YOU!!! I was surprised on how good mine looked! I am getting better! I got that tray yesterday on Craigslist, it is glass. You are inspiring me to continue tea cup collection, that little cup was the first one I bought in years... I stopped buying at 13! I guess I will keep going to 20?? LOL!
