Miss Bobbie's Corn Dip

This is a great dip that a dear lady in our church made often for finger food fellowships. Miss Bobbie passed away last year. I am so thankful that she shared this easy recipe with me. When I make it, I cannot help but think of her!

2 can of Mexicorn, drained
2 cups shredded cheese
2 cup mayonnaise
1 cup sour cream
1 (4 oz) can chopped green chilies (optional)

Combine all ingredients and mix well. Additional cheese may be added to reach the desired consistency. Chill mixture and serve with Frito's chips or scoops.

Joe's Pound Cake

A man in our church makes this delicious pound cake. Often times, he brings it still warm from the oven...mmmm. Oh so good!

3 sticks butter
1 (8 oz) cream cheese
3 c sugar
3 c sifted plain flour
6 eggs

Cream butter. Add cream cheese. Slowly add sugar and beat until light.

Add eggs one at a time; beating each one well.

Stir in flour.

Bake at 325 degrees for 1 1/2 hours.

Baseball Cake

This was B's 3rd Birthday cake.

I used a regular round cake pan filled more than normal so it would create a dome effect. For the stitching, I just snipped pieces of the red pull apart licorice. I colored shredded coconut green for the grass.

If you want to do cupcakes instead, just frost them white and add smaller pieces of licorice for the stitching on each cupcake.
