Sinfully Delicious Site

My cousin Jill turned me on to the wonderfully sinful baking blog site. It's called Bakerella. It is such a fun blog and it offers awesome baking recipes. Some of which are so easy. I got on there for the first time this week and tried out some "cookie-sandwiches." She used red velvet cake in her recipe for Valentine's Day, but she said that any box mix would work so I tried chocolate. I also cheated some by using cream cheese frosting from the can in place of making my own. They turned out perfect. And it was such a cinch. The cookies are made from a boxed cake mix! Well, I just wanted to share the blog with all of you and the results of my first recipe. (You can find a link to Bakerella on the left side of this page under Favorite Blogs & Sites.)
