Mar's Ribbon Cake, part dieu

And you thought I was long gone...I'm back and just as sporadic as ever.

I have an update on the ribbon cake, and it's kind of sad. There was no ribbon cake this year! I was so disappointed. Of course this means I have to make a ribbon cake now, but I need a reason. I mean, you don't really need a reason to make a cake, but I will eat all of it if I don't have some means of getting rid of it. And that's repulsive. So. We'll see. Maybe I can make a pink - tan - pink ribbon cake for Valentine's Day?
