Thanks for the tip~ I'm putting mine in the freezer now. Also, thanks for a 'from scratch' poppy seed recipe...I've always done mine with a box mix~
Thanks for commenting on my post (about scrunching sleeves with safety pins)! It's always such a nice surprise to get comments on older posts.
Your lemon poppy seed cake looks absolutely delicious. If I wasn't four days away (or less) from delivering a baby and actually had energy, I would love to try your recipe. In fact, your whole blog looks delicious.
