One of my brothers (to be henceforth known as W) likes to bake from time to time. In fact, I helped teach him. I told him that I was not going to bake cookies all the time for him when I grew up and got married so he better learn to take care of that himself. The end result of that is that he makes the most delicious pumpkin cake with a cream cheese frosting (I love almost any thing with cream cheese) known as The Cinderella Cake.
Now, W has been craving a dessert and I don't feel baking. This cake is now being proposed for dessert and all I can say is "Yeah, let's do that".
In other news, I finished The Inheritance Games by Jennifer L. Barnes. I couldn't put this intriguing book down. Official blurb below:
A Cinderella story with deadly stakes and thrilling twists.
Avery
Grambs has a plan for a better future: survive high school, win a
scholarship, and get out. But her fortunes change in an instant when
billionaire Tobias Hawthorne dies and leaves Avery virtually his entire
fortune. The catch? Avery has no idea why--or even who Tobias Hawthorne
is. To receive her inheritance, Avery must move into sprawling, secret
passage-filled Hawthorne House, where every room bears the old man's
touch--and his love of puzzles, riddles, and codes.
Unfortunately
for Avery, Hawthorne House is also occupied by the family that Tobias
Hawthorne just dispossessed. This includes the four Hawthorne grandsons:
dangerous, magnetic, brilliant boys who grew up with every expectation
that one day, they would inherit billions. Heir apparent Grayson
Hawthorne is convinced that Avery must be a con-woman, and he's
determined to take her down. His brother, Jameson, views her as their
grandfather's last hurrah: a twisted riddle, a puzzle to be solved.
Caught in a world of wealth and privilege, with danger around every
turn, Avery will have to play the game herself just to survive.
Don't you just to jump right in? Book Two comes out in September. I can hardly wait!
