Home Runs

A co-workers birthday started my week off with a 'home run!'  I enjoy baking and so I volunteered to bring the office ceremonial birthday cake. I decided to do something a little different, so I brought cake bites.  Have you tried them? Cake bites have kind of taken the dessert world by storm. These bite-sized delicacies begin as rich cake blended with creamy icing to form a moist, decadent center. The cake-bites are then dipped in melted milk or white chocolate and hand-decorated--I think they create a great twist on a traditional favorite. All my co-workers loved them!

Outside this afternoon the temperatures feel like summer and is a home run too.  We have a number of hungry migrating birds around, and I almost missed this looper caterpillar looking more like part of a stem to avoid becoming it's own little (cake) bite.  

Also this afternoon while we were outside Sheba brought me a baseball she found.  I've no idea where she found it, where it would have come from or how it would have ended up in our yard.  It appears to be a home run ball that's signed by all the members of the team, including the coach.  I wish I knew who it belonged to so I could return it.  But who knows, maybe it'll be worth something some day!  

I hope you're having a week of 'home runs' too!
