i heart faces - week 15 - i heart desserts

this week over at iheartfaces, it's i heart desserts week. now, to be truthful, i'm not a huge fan of cakes, cookies or pies. i am, however a huge fan of candy. love the chewy, fruity candies. that being said, i do love to bake. ironic, i know.

my daughter, on the other hand, loves anything sweet. she's not allowed to have a whole lot of sweet stuff, but her birthday is an exception. for her 6th birthday last year she wanted an angel food cake with fresh berries and whipped cream. i had never made an angel food cake from scratch before, but i'm not a big fan of buying from the bakery if i can make it myself, so i tried it.

this is how it turned out.....
it tasted really good too! and, when i make it again, i'll be prepared to know what to do with 18 egg yolks!

to check out some other yummy looking desserts, head on over to iheartfaces.

    oh yummy! I LOVE fruit desserts - my husband likes chocolate better, and I do sometimes too (like once a month - at a certain time every month . . . )

    Great entry!

    Beautiful...I was totally shocked when I looked up angel food recipes, I was like- ugh I don't have that many eggs, and what do I do with the other half of them. Haha.
