I took a photo of this winter vignette in the neighbourhood recently with the intention of painting it, stay tuned for an upcoming art challenge!
Have you ever heard of a 'Poke' cake? I've been seeing them on Pinterest. It is a cake that is baked normally then poked and filled with sauce or jello or pudding so that it seeps into the holes. For example, here is a raspberry poke cake from Betty Crocker.

Love the sound of a Poke Cake. I have visited Buckingham Palace, lots to see there, that's for sure. Looking forward to seeing what you make with the photo! Have a nice weekend, hugs, Valerie
Sounds like it is a great cake! Thank you for the link.. I am off to visit the Buckingham Palast now!
Happy weekend!
Never heard of that cake
Can't wait to see your painting, and I've heard of a poke cake but never tried or made one. Hmm. Might be interesting to do.
I've never heard of that cake; it sounds like it would be quite tasty. Looking forward to your artwork!
I have never heard of a poke cake. Sounds tasty! :)

I used to see poke cakes quite often in the 1980s, but then they seemed to fall out of fashion. Interesting they're popular again.
What a gorgeous photo, I am looking forward to seeing your art challenge! I'd never heard of such a cake, but it sounds delicious. I've bookmarked your link to visit later, I've also never been there.
This is as old as me...and that's old. Mom made them, and I made many of them when my kids were little....Forgotten recipes coming back...they are so good and moist.
It's true. That's a very old recipe. I used to make it when I was first married and that's decades ago. I once saw a photo where they made a two layer red and green poke cake for Christmas.
Yes, those cakes are quite popular in the UK. I love when the songey cake reveals a jammy poked centre!
Yes, I took the tour of Buckingham Palace onece. I was quite bored actually and dodged the line of people to get out of there!
My mother and recently deceased Aunt went to Buckingham palace at 19 and 18 for their debutante ball to be formally presented to the Queen! They ended that tradition the very next year of all things.
P.S. I look forward to seeing the tree sketch some time in the future! :)
