a beautiful blog with a lot of delicious looking recipes

How good does the banana
cake look? Want. Now.

I probably shouldn't praise this blog and the recipes on it because I have yet to try one, but the end products look amazing and there are a lot of positive reviews...so here goes nothing! The blog is called The View from Great Island and I found it yesterday. The recipe for the Banana Cake with Spiced Butter-cream Frosting was what caught my eye, but it appears the blogger is also famous for her crumb bars. So, in addition to the banana cake, I pinned her cranberry, raspberry, and spiced pear crumb bars and cannot wait to try them. I think I am going to start with the cranberry ones and then branch out to the others. I am tempted to make the spiced pear ones because they are drizzled with a molasses glaze, but cranberries seem more wintry to me than pears. I also love recipes with minimal ingredients and the cranberry one is coming in with a total of six, while the pear one has a little more than double that. I am not sure I will find time to make them before the holiday is upon us, but these are next in line in the baking queue. Click here to visit the blog.
