UPDATE! The winner has been chosen by random wheel and has been notified. THANK YOU ALL so much for reaching out and nominating some wonderful people! We are so blessed to live in such an incredible community!

💕 **Community Cake Giveaway** 💕

Over the years, this community has supported my little cake business in so many ways. I'd love the chance to give a little of that kindness back.

I'd like to gift a custom cake to someone who could use a reason to smile.

Do you know someone who quietly serves others? Someone who's been carrying a heavy burden? A family going through a difficult season? A teacher, caregiver, first responder, military family, volunteer, or neighbor who always puts everyone else first? Or maybe someone celebrating a milestone they never thought they'd reach?

I'd love to hear their story.

Please nominate someone by sending me a private message or commenting below (if you're comfortable sharing publicly). Tell me:
🎂 Who you're nominating
❤️ Why they're deserving
📍 Where the cake should be delivered
🎉 If there's a special occasion coming up (birthday, anniversary, graduation, etc.)

I'll choose one recipient to receive a custom cake made with love—completely free. And I’ll check in with them first to ensure their favorite flavor and dietary needs.

The world can always use a little more kindness. Even a cake can't solve every problem, but sometimes being seen, celebrated, and reminded that someone cares can mean more than we realize.

I can't wait to read your nominations and celebrate the incredible people who make our community such a special place. ❤️

Baking Powder Biscuits
Recipe by Joan Yakopatz

My grandma was the best cook in the world, and you can fight me if you don’t think so! She didn’t start out that way though. When she was first married, she once served her biscuits under done, and the doughy centers could be stretched across the table. I’m sure she was embarrassed by this misstep in the kitchen, but she soon perfected her recipes, using a pinch of this and a touch of that. When compelled to write down her biscuit recipe, this is what she wrote:

2 C. Flour
4 tsp. Baking Powder
1 tsp. Salt
1/3 C. Shortening
1 C. Milk

Sift together dry ingredients.
Cut in shortening.
Add milk and blend.
Knead about 30 seconds.
Pat out to 1” thick.
Cut with biscuit cutter.
Grease pan with bacon grease.
Let biscuits touch each other.
12 minutes 375° or golden brown.

If you use a 2” biscuit cutter you get about a dozen simple but delicious biscuits, ready for jam and butter, or your favorite sausage gravy!
