"This is a cake I came up with, while trying to attempt to make the Bee Sting Cake from The Cheesecake Shop. Unfortunately it was NOTHING like that one, but it was delicious just the same! It is kind of like a shortcake (similar the traditional German version of this cake), and is also delicious with cream cheese frosting! Although this is not what I was trying to make, everyone thought it was delicious, and it has already been made twice in my house! I will try again to make the one from The Cheesecake Shop, and post my recipe attempt! :D"

I'm married, I have 2 kids (both boys), and I live in Australia. I have loved cooking for as long as I can remember, and have become completely addicted to browsing through Zaar looking for new recipes! I have a small animal shelter for rabbits and guinea pigs, and spend most of my time looking after kids or critters!. My favourite cookbooks are The Essential Pasta Cookbook, The Central Cookery Book, Flo Bjielkie-Peterson's Country Cookbook, and Greek Cooking (I bought that one in Greece, and it's FANTASTIC). At the minute, we are getting ready to move, which is forcing me to sort through my recipe cabinet. I have been trying out all those recipes that are scribbled on pieces of paper, or torn from magazines, so I can decide ifthey are keepers or not. So far I've found a lot of keepers, and will work at posting them on here. I'm passionate about a lot of things, mainly my kids, animals, and cooking. I won't even start on my peeves, we'll be here all night! lol
