I checked your schedule for next weekend, and it's full of cake. Don't fight it! There's truly nothing cozier than a fall baking project.
Just imagine: you, in a soft sweater, protected by an apron because you think ahead like that. Endless whisks to lick (someone's got to make sure the batter isn't poisoned!). Say you have to pop out to the corner shop to pick up a forgotten frosting ingredient—that warm wall of scent you'll hit you when you walk back in the front door.
