I made the grapefruit cake the other day. I thought the flavor was delicious, but was your cake on the dry side? I expected a really fluffy, moist cake with all the grapefruit juice in there, but it came out very dense… I think it’s one of those cakes that gets better as it sits with the icing, but I just wondered if you had the same experience? thanks!

Thanks, Susan! You are not being dense. In this case, you are not segmenting the grapefruit by simply separating the segments, you are actually cutting the segments out between the membranes that separate them. You end up with a bunch of pulp and membrane left over and that is what you are juicing. Watch this: http://tinyurl.com/m9lb3s

This all sounds so wonderful. I have a question… okay, so you section all 3 grapefruit, where do you get “remaining pulp”? Will this be obvious when I make the cake? Sorry, I am feeling really dense.
Love everything about your blog.

The grapefruit sheet cakes looks interesting and delicious. The cucumber soup also looks nice and refreshing!

It made about 6 small servings. I would probably double it for the potluck. The recipe would double nicely. Have fun!

How many servings does that cucumber soup make? I am going to a potluck tomorrow and I think I’ll bring that. Thanks!

I LOVE that Tablecloth. So bright and colorful.

I am also in love with the TX issue (although I may be a little biased :-P).
