My friend Aimee LOVES this YUMMY cake! In her own words,
" I've made this bundt cake countless times since and I think it's the best thing to come out of my kitchen - ever! I'm a sucker for the mixture of buttermilk, cardamom and cranberries, not to mention the amazing aroma it leaves in the house for days afterward. Aside from my niece and nephew, I didn't buy any presents for anyone this Christmas; I just made everyone their own bundt :)"
With no further adieu, I give you Aimee's Spiced Cranberry Buttermilk Bundt Cake!!!!!
Sandy writes a FUNNY essay about women's shapes and sizes...fruit salad anyone?

Thanks so much for sharing on your birhday, Shelagh. I hope your day as well as 2012 are as wonderful as you are!!

Great idea for an activity on your birthday ... I couldn't resist clicking on the gorgeous photo by Alice Griffin and then when I found out she lives on a very small boat with her husband and daughter, I couldn't stop reading about her life. It's "other worldly".
Thanks for sharing the stories!
Happy birthday, Shelagh! I'm glad you followed up Suzie's blueberry pie from hell with Snap's heavenly cats!
First ... HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!
I don't think I can pick just one favorite. They are all beautiful, fun, yummy .... in many different ways. But ... How to Create an Amazing Group of Friends and Aimee's bundt cake .... start the list!
Happy Birthday Shelagh! Great stories and thanks so much for including me, that is so generous. Hugs!
Happy Birthday Shelagh! Lovely post...it's great to be introduced to such a variety of bloggers. Loved visiting Alice on her narrowboat...I'll have to live my dreams of England through her!

Happy (belated) Birthday!
Thanks for sharing all of these wonderful links. Some of them I was already familiar with, and others were brand new to me! I think my new fav now is Susan's - all of the pictures were so beautiful, and I loved her etsy shop.
Happy Birthday! I'm sorry I missed your actual day but this way it just lasts longer! So happy to know you for the past year! You deserve a fantastic birthday, so do everything you love to do!
Thanks you so much for your visits and kind birthday comments! I will be drawing a name later tonight:)
Loved reading the blog by Alice who lives on a narrowboat in England. I am deathly afraid of large bodies of water and the way she is one with water is very inspiring to me.
