January means baking

It does for me at least. We had over a foot of snow from Friday and Saturday's snowstorms. What goes better with snowy weather than cinnamon buns? I chatted with my sis and she had made some as well. Must be in the blood. I also had some ripe bananas and made this yummy banana cake. I've been taking and requesting many decorating and baking books from the library. Yesteday, after work I had a thrifting itch and went to the Johnny Cake center. The place was hopping and I found some excellent buys. One being a Valenting cake stand -for a dollar! Bubbe found it to be great for perching. Of course I'll need to bake something to display on this 'new to me' stand.
