Eggnog Cake
by Kym on January 5, 2012
I had some leftover eggnog and decided to try this recipe. I took the advice of one of the reviewers and used french vanilla cake mix as a base, and made an eggnog flavoured glaze (powdered sugar+eggnog = yum). I drizzled the glaze over top, sprinkled some ground nutmeg on, and then enjoyed. I made mine in mini-bundt-cake form (and no, I’m not telling you how many I’ve eaten). It’s not exactly magazine-cover pretty, because that’s not my thing, but it was scrumptious enough to share!
In other news, I’m writing again. I’m giddy and terrified all in one go. But there’s something transcendent about doing the thing that makes you feel most like yourself, and for me that’s writing. I want to ask myself, why do you stop? But I know the answer. I know that I get scared, I stop, I flounder, and then I find my way back again. Back to myself. I need to break that cycle somehow . . .
When do you feel most like yourself?

Mmm. That looks so yummers! I admit that I like eating cakes. I also admit that I hate baking them. *sigh*

I am thrilled to pieces to know that you’re writing again! Annette Lyon once told me that a writer is happiest when they are writing. It’s true for me. And it’s truer for me when you’re writing!!!

“Doing the thing that makes you feel most like yourself.” I love that. That’s how I feel about writing, too.
