I am blessed to have a few such girlfriends, and one of them has a birthday today.
Happy Birthday Denise! Wishing you a day filled with Happiness and another year of Good Health!

And While Denise is watching the video, I will continue on with my next part of the blog and that is Recipe Thursday!
I had a hard time coming up with today's recipe for some reason - maybe because I have not been spending much time in the kitchen this week. Truthfully, all my time has been spent working in the studio or garden...
In the end I found the best recipe for this day and for this special woman's birthday.
It is after the cake of choice... or it was... let me tell you a little story first!
My mother was a baker, as a child and young adult, I only ever tasted baking done by her, or one of my Aunts or family members - Until I met Denise!
It was she who first introduced me to the cake I am going to share with you today, and I can't remember what the occasion was - someones birthday for sure, maybe even mine, but I was probably around 16 or 17 yrs old.
Jeanne's Bakery in Winnipeg has been serving up their famous log cake - "Jeanne's Cake" since the 1930's. This family run business has catered to Winnipeg locals, celebrities, and even Queen Elizabeth herself.
They make 1500-200 cakes a week, and although they make many varieties of baked goods, their log cake remains their signature and most beloved cake.
The Jeanne's Cake features a Shortbread Cookie crust ( my favourite part of the cake), the cake on top is just as delicious as the crust itself.
Now - I have not made or tasted the recipe below... but I intend to try it out on Denise and John if they ever get out here for a visit... (sorry D, had to stick that in there...)
I can't believe I actually found it on the Internet, but here it is - Just in time for Denise's Birthday!
The recipe is in the link below.... Enjoy!
