I have a funny feeling you'll be buying a cloche or two soon...
Justine :o )
Oh your cakes all look out of this world, I think I should have a big piece of all of them and just skip dinner altogether. They are gorgeous. I absolutely love your pretty glass with the clementines. I think that totally qualifies as a cloche. Thank you so much for joining the party. This is just so much fun. Hugs, Marty
Good morning! Haha....I'm not so concerned about the cloches when I'm looking at those amazing cakes...and those strawberries. They are so close I could just pop one in my mouth! Yummy! I love it.
Blessings,
Debbie

Ok....can you gain wait by just reading a blog? If your reading this one you can! My goodness you have the best looking goodies! Thanks for visiting me yesterday, always happy when you stop by!
But you put your decorative displays together so well, who would notice? Beautiful, BJ! That cake looks scrumptious, by the way!

What a cute tribute post, BJ! I am loving that german chocolate cake!!! Yum!
I'm thrilled that your strawberry scones have turned out so well for you too & I look forward to seeing them next.
I'm honored that you would want to link back to my recipe but I must give full credit to Lori at All That Splatters as well as Ann at Thibault's Table, who made them with cranberries!
You're making me hungry for some right now!!!
fondly,
Rett

Your coconut cake looks like it came from a bakery!! You really make your food look good, BJ. And German Chocolate cake was always a favorite in my family growing up as my mother was German and had all of the BEST recipes. Mr. Sweet have loved hers!
I love your clementines in your cloche. I am a little low on them myself, so I am just visiting. You could have put blackberries in it, you know. ;-)

Hello sweet lady...
Ohhh my goodness gracious! Girl, you've been crazy busy baking! Hehe! Look what you've gone and done...now I'm soooo hungry for a piece of cake! Hmmm...I think I'd like to try a slice of each! Hehe! That coconut cake looks divine! And I love anything with blackberries...including a little blackberry wine! Mmmmm!!! Well my dear, no matter that you don't have a cloche...that beautiful tall vase full of clementines is just gorgeous!!! Thank you so much for sharing all of your goodies and pretties with us, Darlin'!!!
Warmest wishes,
Chari
