		<title>Babycakes&#8230;a very &#8220;spirited&#8221; gift!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Greetings! My name is Carmen and am convinced I have the best job <em>ever</em>.  I own a little bakery in Texas specializing in individual-sized liqueur cakes, <em>and</em> I get to feed people all over the world! 

Every cake is made with dark caramelized rum, real butter, and Madagascar bourbon vanilla. No half measures here. Each comes individually packaged in a cute round container, which, by they way, make a perfect little gift. Seeking something a little fancier? My gift box filled with turquoise crinkle paper, tied with my signature black satin ribbon, is ready to go with two, four, or eight cakes.

You'll find Carmen's Babycakes at Central Market in Southlake, and I'm happy to bake up a batch just for you. Give me a call or send me a note!

Feel free to email me at <a href="mailto:carmen@carmensbabycakes.com">carmen@carmensbabycakes.com</a>

or call me at 214.649.2688.

Stay well. Stay well fed.

<em>Carmen</em>]]></description>

		<title>My 3 Day Journey&#8230;because cancer really sucks.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[My girl friend Martha and I were having lunch yesterday at our new favorite hangout, Chef Point Cafe. We talked about the typical musings of everyone we know (all in good fun of course) and then talked about this being her 2nd year to do the 3 Day Walk for breast cancer. I had been thinking about joining her this year. See, my Mom died of ovarian and colon cancer in 1997 at age 55, and my sister died of pancreatic cancer in 1992 at age 25... <a href="http://www.carmensbabycakes.com/?p=336/My-3-Day-Journey/">Click Here</a> to read more... ]]></description>

		<title>New Arrival: Cocoa Framboise Babycake</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This buttery, dense, dark chocolate cake is nothing less than spectacular, if I do say so myself! I have been tinkering with the recipe for over 9 weeks, and I am really happy with the final result. Here are the highlights of the past two months creating this little darling...<a href="http://www.carmensbabycakes.com/?p=299/mon-dieu/">Click Here</a> to read more... ]]></description>

		<title>Sharing the love (and recipes)</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This is one of my bestest girl friends, Gloria, and her Mom Geri. I met Gloria many years ago while participating in a community service volunteer event. We chose the same non-profit organization and the same task... working in the garden. We met while having a lunch of, unfortunately for her, hot dogs. She's a vegetarian. <a href="http://www.carmensbabycakes.com/?p=393/Sharing-the-Love/">Click Here</a> to read more... ]]></description>

		<title>Ribbon Cutting a HUGE success and great fun</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Oh my gosh, I can't tell you how much fun I had at my Ribbon Cutting celebration (but I'll try).


Central Market graciously hosted the celebration in the Patisserie, how much better could it possibly be? So many people came to help me celebrate. Keller Chamber of Commerce ambassadors, my new Central Market family, friends and new customers, and (get this!) Honorable John Terrell, Mayor of Southlake! <a href="http://www.carmensbabycakes.com/?p=308/Ribbon-Cutting/">Click Here</a> to read more... ]]></description>

		<title>The Great Taste of Grapevine</title>
		<description><![CDATA[There is something a little intimidating about baking for 700 people you don’t know. I have offered tastings to a few groups, but never 700 people. I decided to participate in <a href="http://www.greattasteofgrapevine.com/GTOG.recap.htm" target="_blank" title="Take Me To Great Taste 2009!">The Great Taste of Grapevine</a>, the city’s annual event featuring 50 area restaurants and chefs providing samples to attending guests. I thought this would be a great opportunity to let lots of people taste my Rum Babycake, and get my feet wet participating in a large “foodie” event.  <a href="http://www.carmensbabycakes.com/2009/04/the-great-taste-of-grapevine/">Click Here</a> to read more...

		<title>Chocolate and Rum. Yum!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I must admit, I am not a chocoholic. But, this cake is slowly but surely converting me. Over the past couple of weeks I have been talking to my dear friend, Nita, about what my next “recipe” might be. I was thinking Spring so visions of vanilla and lavender and vodka were coming to mind. Or, maybe lemon verbena and vodka. I'm anxious to create another vodka cake...so moist and tasty. I wondered if <a title="Take me to the farm!" href="http://www.sbrowning.net/homestead/">Homestead Farms</a> down the street is growing herbs this year...I'll just have to go visit. Fresh herbs. Ooooo, that sounds yummy.  <a href="http://www.carmensbabycakes.com/2009/04/chocolate-and-rum-yum/">Click Here</a> to read more...
