There aren't a lot of cake stores in Tampa. The biggest (and only that I know of) is Cakes Plus. Just google Cakes Plus and Tampa and it'll come up. It recently moved - I don't know how the new store is. The other one was crowded,...

Ha!I had to laugh this week - someone who works with my husband (a very nice lady, so I am not knocking her) contacted me re: a cake for a work function. She told me what she wanted, how many servings and the price she would pay.As it...

The recipe for Oatmeal Pancakes II on allrecipes is fantastic. I make a quadruple batch and freeze them, then pop them in the toaster on busy mornings. My kids LOVE them and I love that they're getting some whole grain along with all...
