Post #1 - March 27th, 2013, 8:52 amSorry this took me so long to post.
I am hosting the April dessert exchange at my house in Mt Prospect.
I can manage 12 people.
As usual, make a dessert and bring it to share. A light meal will be served and then we will dig in to the desserts. Bring a container or two to take home some extra to share and/or eat later.
I you haven't attended before and want more information PM me - you are very welcome to join us.
Not sure what I will be making yet - will post when I have decided.
1 Sue

3 Toria
3 Pie Lady

Post #5 - March 29th, 2013, 2:02 pmUnfortunately, I will be out of town for this exchange. But I'd love to host at the end of May if no one has offered yet. I haven't hosted at our new(ish) place and would love to before the baby comes and I'm too sleep deprived to do anything for awhile

You don't have to. Cathy, Lazy and I found recipes since then, so we thought we'd make ours too, and see how they differ from yours and Sue's.
It might be nice if all five of us could bring our recipes. It would be interesting to see the different ingredients vs. the recipe source.

Post #11 - April 2nd, 2013, 8:16 amI plan on making chicken bastilla and a salad for our meal. Not sure about dessert yet, but with so much butter cake coming, I think I will need to make something chocolate to balance it out.

Post #12 - April 2nd, 2013, 11:49 amHi,
For those who may not remember, I am bringing the official St. Louis Gooey Cake from a box.
Regards,Cathy2

Post #14 - April 2nd, 2013, 7:56 pmMy St. Louis Gooey Butter Cake will have a slight variation. The recipe is from a well known publication as well. Bring it on.

Post #15 - April 3rd, 2013, 1:27 pmThanks for hosting.
I don't know what I will be making, just that it won't be anything gooey.
Hopefully the weather will be lovely.

Post #17 - April 11th, 2013, 3:35 pmI would like to attend. I think I'll make something light and possibly with fruit. There is no way I can eat that much gooey butter cake!Ms. Ingie
Life is too short, why skip dessert?

Post #21 - April 26th, 2013, 5:41 pmAt this time, all local streets appear to be open so you should not have any detours trying to get to my house.

Post #22 - April 27th, 2013, 5:15 pmI'm very sorry to do this at the last minute, and I'm sorry to break up our trio of butter cakes, but I have to back out of tomorrow's exchange. We got some very bad news at the vet and I want to stay close by for my kitty.
Plus, I doubt I'd be very good company. Sorry for the inconvenience. I'm looking forward to seeing the pictures and details on the Gooey-off.

Post #30 - April 30th, 2013, 7:15 pmWe missed you Pie Lady! Pics look great.
Cathy's is the squarish one - it came from a mix and had more of a shortbread-y base and a cream cheesy top.
Mine is in the red dish - from the NY Times (Nov 2009). I added lavender to the base (it was more biscuit-y) and lemon zest to the tons-of-butter top.
