Piedmont Block Party

Are you talking the Hershey Bar cake that the icing is whip creamed based with chocolate shavings in it?? Those are yum-o. Also the honey bun cake is too - both will be yummy in my tummy.

Cheesecakes are one of them things that its cheaper to buy one at Cheesecake Factory (or whereever) and it tastes just as good as one I would make, actually better since they're a pain to make. So why bother?

Yep, Angela, that is the one. It is supposed to be four layers, but I think I will just make a big sheet cake instead since there are so many people. Can't wait...see you there.

I agree sheet cake is the way to go - I've seen that cake done that way and its just as good, not as pretty but more efficient for feeding multiple people with it. Easier to transport as well.

Hey, I hear Jamie Southards makes a "mean" pasta salad. Maybe we could talk her into making one for us. (Inside Joke) Sorry, Jamie, I couldn't resist.

We have one eclair cake complete and two of the three layers of the Strawberry dessert complete - one more to go. We just turned on our air conditioner today (believe it or not) and it's taking a while for the house to cool down, I'm freaking hot as heck. Glad I picked minimal oven required desserts.

Anyhoo, I've got to hear the "mean" pasta salad story. Sounds interesting...

Jamie made some pasta salad at Kinston a couple of years ago, and lets just say it didn't turn out so well. I am pretty sure she ended up throwing it away it was so bad. Just giving her a hard time. =) In her defense it was one of those pasta salad kits. Oh, and one Hershey Bar cake ready to go, and I didn't even burn it.
