For Easter dinner my sister asked me to make a cake for dessert. I asked her what kind and she said she didn't care, it was up to me. First I thought of making carrot cake, it seemed appropriate for the easter bunnies. Then while speaking to my boyfriend about it he gave me the idea for banana cake. I haven't had banana cake in such a long time and I do have fond memories of the banana cake I made while in camp years ago. I remember having to triple the recipie and do all the math to figure out the correct measurements. So banana cake with cream cheese frosting it was. This cake came out so good. It was extremely moist and oh so delicious. Tastes really good with coffee, tea or a cold glass of milk.
My sister decided to do what I usually do and take pictures of me making the banana cake. I got to use this Kitchen-Aid mixer we borrowed from my sisters neighbor downstairs. I loved using this mixer it made my job much easier. I have wanted one of these mixers since I was a little girl. One day I will get one.
Saturday I went over to Deborah's so she could help me with my Odessa hat problem. Weeks ago I put down this hat because I did something wrong...I don't know what I did but I didn't want to mess it up further so I put it down and had not touched it. Deborah was able to get me back on track and hopefully I will finish this hat soon and post updated pictures. I also started a fingerless glove with Koigu yarn. This is my first glove and I find it a bit difficult working with double pointed needles but otherwise so for so good.

What a nice easter you had. Its great spending time with family especially when there are kids arounds. how big they are getting too! the cake looks good. I made a red velvet cake myself. it came out good but looked a bit weird. .LOL.. great pics
That is a cool Koigu colorway. The Easter shabang looked like a blast. I wished we had scratch & sniff/ lickable computer monitors to take a taste of cake. Umm, umm.
I was thinking to myself yesterday whether or not we were going to see a post with the cake in it. I had extended my holiday weekend an extra day on Monday so I didn't check any blogs. The cake looks oh so yummy and the egg hunt so much fun!
