Definitely looks yummy even though they aren't my kind of cakes...

So what's your kind of cakes?

I'm more of a spiced fruit cake sort of person.

Years ago there was a small Filmwasters baking group that stayed in touch via email. (Remember email?) Maybe there can be an off topic thread somewhere on Filmwasters where we can share recipes and techniques? I mean after I can get some good flour. :-)

Don't see why not. We have a music room, maybe we need a bakery.

I'm more the vanilla or chocolate type. Though I have a very weak spot for Gâteau Basque.
I also sometimes make cinnamon and brown sugar cupcakes. Welfare Pudding is also a favorite.

Another update on our friends son that got shot.  He's out of the hospital and into rehabilitation!  He is paralyzed and will need to learn how to deal with that.  His parents are scrambling to build him a handicap accessible apartment at their house but probably won't have it completed before he gets out.   It's going to be quite difficult for him going forward but he is lucky to have survived this.

The main thing now is that he gets some quality of life.
And lets hope that one day doctors figure out how to repair nerve tissues.

It's now official, today is one of the scariest moments in this whole pandemic!
The provincial government has lifted the mandatory quarantine in Montreal. Shops are reopening even if our prime minister still comes on TV every day saying "good news! Yesterday we had only 83 deaths, things are going well. My sympathies to the families. Montreal is still a problematic hot spot but we see no reason to keep people confined any longer."...
