TBB - Lemon Posset Shortcakes

Tom and I are celebrating out second wedding anniversary this coming Tuesday. I’m sitting writing those words, and I still cannot believe it’s been already two years since our wedding.

Tradition says that you should give something made out of cotton for your second anniversary, but seriously – whose husband would be excited about new pajamas or a bath robe or bed sheets? I know mine wouldn’t.

Instead of cotton, I knew that I needed to continue my trend and feed him – just like I been doing for the past seven years we been together.

Other than pie, Tom loves anything that has lemon in it. His favorite candies are lemon drops and when I got this book and was reading through it, this recipe just had his name all over it – I needed to make it happen.

So when Marie mentioned that if we have any special occasions coming up and we are interested in certain recipes to mark them and let her know so she would put them on the list.

I been very excited with these and I could not wait to make them for him

HCB: Gold Ingots {Financiers}

This past weekend I have been up to my ears in flour, butter, sugar, spatulas, and every single piece of baking equipment in my kitchen.

In order words, I think I have baked myself OUT.

Is that even possible?

I think it may be. And just like my vast weekend-baking, there is going to be a substantial amount of posting to cover all of it.

So let’s start with the easy one. This weeks Heavenly Cake Baker’s choice was the Gold Ingots. Or better knows as Financiers, or at our house: “those little cakey-thingy’s-that are-yummy”

I kid you not, that is what we are calling them. Nobody can say Financiers and Tom refuses to call them Ingots, because he said that he is not eating a bar of molted gold. (I cannot make these things up – trust me. My house = Crazy).

But, I’m getting off topic here. Back to the cakey-thingy’s-that are-yummy.

HCB: Peanut Butter Ingots

This week’s recipe almost did me in. I have no idea why something as simple as this brought me to my knees.

But as Marie mention before, we tend to get cocky after we bake a complicated cake. And well, I was cocky going into this one. I read the recipe a couple of times, so I knew the steps going in. This was a quick and easy. It was only cooking the batter, no frosty, no glaze. How hard could it be?

Well, it started with me looking for the mold to bake them in.
