I ordered Great Cakes from Amazon for the bargain price of 12.99, a good price for a hardcover. I’ll let you know what my wife thinks of the book.

take care,
mike

Muddywaters (Mike): I’ve heard from Payne’s fans many times. Dying to try some!

Carol: all of Carole Walter’s recipe are sterling, perfect. Enjoy!

PVS: yes, but what about all your tomatoes? Tomato cake?

Louise: welcome! I enjoyed your lovely site.

Jenni: light and moist is good. Cream cheese frosting, even better.

Jean: posting from the plane is very cool! Now if only they served food.

Julia: sending you one big slice. I’m guessing extra frosting?

Hi Marilyn,
Thank you so much for dropping by my blog and for the kind words. Looks like I passed by just in time. The Gingery Pumpkin Cake looks outstanding! How lucky you are to have such a talented author as a friend. I’ve been to her website before. (I adore when cookbook authors have websites) and with this interview, you have given me a glimpse of goodies. Thank you so much for sharing.

I love Payne’s BBQ. Thoughts of their pulled porked bbq sandwich with spicy coleslaw keep me up some nights. The afternoon of KU’s National Championship game I blogged about Memphis BBQ and Paynes. I saw my love of KU basketball and bbq collide Final Four weekend because we played Carolina and Memphis. Coincidence? I think not. The universe was giving me what I needed.

The folks at Payne’s are so friendly. Kansans are friendly, but it’s very laidback. We’ll ask, “Would you like to try this sandwich?” Southerner’s are in-your-face friendly. They’ll grab you by the arm, and tell you that you need to try this sandwich! They might even feed you. I like my personal space, so at first it made me uncomfortable, but now I’m embracing this approach to food.

Great interview. My wife is the dessert maven in our household, so I might need to purchase one of Carole’s book as a Christmas gift.
