Bake Swap

Hi Sweet Friend!

If you found your way here, you're one of two things: excited to get wrists deep in flour or just plain curious - and hungry!

Keeping with author, Cat Gardiner's tradition of "blogging with books," she's created a special treat for her readers. Inspired by dear friends on Facebook and her own character, Elizabeth Clemente Fairchild in the upcoming novel Villa Fortuna, a bake swap is rising!

Here's how it will work:

• Most important: Security for our participants. Participants must and I repeat must, be a friend of Cat's or Vanity & Pride Press Facebook or P&P Goodreads Groups.  Follower of her author blog or a member of DarcyandLizzy.com.

• Sign up for participation - Name, Country or USA State of Residence and email address. Provide to Cat any photo you would like to use to represent yourself (true, avatar, comic, etc.) and a little note about you and why you love to bake.

• You will be matched with another participant close in proximity, provided an email address to contact your baking buddy, introduce yourself, talk JAFF or whatever, and exchange addresses.

• Bake your favorite, preferably something from your country that could be shipped easily to your baking buddy with recipe.

• Don't forget to take a snapshot of your finished delectable sweet and send it to Cat with the recipe.  It will be posted here for all our readers to experiment with and enjoy.

• Check back to your post because you never know who has questions about the recipe, any tricks to make it as yummy as it looks.

• And most importantly, stop by your baking buddy's recipe post and send them your love and gratitude for adding some sweetness into your life!

• And that's it.  Sound fun?  Want to participate?
