What’s more Mardi Gras than King Cake? I wouldn’t know; I’ve never been (and I’m still on my diet, so I won’t be going this year, either). But I’ve always thought those colorful cakes one of spring’s prettiest sights. Thanks to WhatsCookingAmerica.net for the photo, and if you follow the link back, they have a recipe for making King Cake with a bread machine.

The Sweet List 02/18/2012

Hi, everybody, and welcome back to #SweetSat. The diet continues going well with another two pounds down, and I’m still feeling ten feet tall and bulletproof. To prove it, here’s a photo of a rack of Bakewell tarts, cooling on a rack, with icing and dark sweet cherries on top. No, I’m not drooling. Honest. And thanks to Flickr photographer Chris Eason for the photo. If you’re adventurous, here’s a recipe.

Cheers,

Gunnar

Hi, everybody *waving* and welcome back to Sweet Saturday Samples. And let me tell you, I wouldn’t mind a sweet sample of that dark chocolate ganache. Thanks to the Pensive Monkey Bakery for the extra pounds on my hips, obtained visually and virtually.

And in case you missed the news, February is Astraea Press’s first anniversary, so happy birthday to AP! In celebration, each day this month a different AP book will be offerred free on the Astraea blog via a Smashwords coupon, so you’ll want to check daily for the current book. Here’s a link to the blog. (Non-AP writers, if you have a special announcement, something really momentous, let me know and I’ll drop it in here, too, okay?)

Now, let’s click. The list is below, awaiting your pleasure. Have a wonderful time reading the samples!

Cheers,

Gunnar

Hey, everyone, welcome back to #SweetSat. I hope I didn’t scare too many people away with last week’s stern warning (urgh!). I feel badly about doing that, but we’re serious about maintaining our sweet rating. So serious, in fact, that I’m having a banana bread fit just thinking about it. Can’t you just taste the bananas and walnuts in that still-warm loaf?

Now, let’s link. Click the cute little blue smiley face below to access the inLinkz tool. And we hope everyone has a wonderful week in real-world land. Have fun out there, okay?

Cheers,

Gunnar
