RAINY DAY YUMMIES

 Firs of all, let it be said, right from the start, that rainy days deserve to be celebrated. You don't have to eat the whole cake, or the entire pan of cinnamon buns. But it is nice to have a minute portion, before you share with friends or neighbours. To me, havemy ake and eating it to, is to make it easy. And what could be easier than a cake mix. THrow it in a bowl, whip it up, plop in a pan (I used a couple of those new silicone cake forms). Once cool, frost with a homemade frosting. You could also smother the insides with raspberry jam and just toss whipped cream on the devilish crowing glory.  All equally perfect when the rain is pelting down and everyone is stuck in the house.
Cinnamon buns get a good make over. Found this idea in one of those fancy dancy magazines. Take a thawed loaf of bread dough, push it into a rectangle, smother the flat surface with melted margarine, brown sugar, and any sort of raisin, cranberry, nuts, that you wish. Let rise in silicone pan ( see, it's green in the photo. Then bake at 35 for about 30 minutes. An easy way to have cinnamon buns for company.  So you can have your cake, and your buns, and eat them too....
