By beckysue from Baking the Goods. Eggnog Sheet Cake by Baking The Goods. My mother in law used to make a birthday cake for Jesus Christ every Christmas. At first I was confused by this, Id never heard of anyone doing it before. But it actually makes perfect sense. We have an entire season dedicated to the guy and go all out to plan these elaborate gatherings. There are even gifts for Christs sake, literally. So why shouldnt there be anEggnog Birthday Sheet Cake at the party? For as many years as I can remember Ive been making different iterations of a HBD JHC cake. One year I went a little over the top and made a towering, multi-layered, sprinkle...

In todays installment of our Gentlemen of Style series, we bring you the Hollywood fashion icon, Fred Astairewho, by many measures, was an unlikely recipient of fame. Perhaps no other figure in the history of American cinema did as much to define the spirit of the musical as did Fred Astaire. He is remembered primarily as a dancerand rightly so, as his supremely tasteful blend of tap and ballroom styles, with a dash of ballet, meant that he is often seen as Americas most consummate film dancer. His only real rival for that title is a contemporary of his, Gene Kelly. He was also a distinctive singer, and he introduced many of the songs now part of the pantheon known...
While its cold enough outside for a few more months, Im planning on doing a lot more baking and using up precious oven time while I can. The heat of the summer (and sometimes spring) often keeps from being able to comfortably bake anything. At all. Ever. To keep on theme with the Holidays, I thought I would whip up a festive bread for breakfast this morning.This Cranberry Orange Bread is loaded with flavor, the freshness of the orange and the tartness of the cranberry pair well with the sweetness of the bread. Plus, its pretty easy to toss together in the morning and bakes for a good amount of hands off time. I made this bread a little more...
