Lemon Raspberry Bundt Cake 1

Years ago, I was the bakery manager in a small town grocery store. It was a great job……early morning……..I am a morning person….or was….lol. It was also a creative outlet…..something I enjoyed very much.

I always found it amazing that people thought I made all the items we sold at the store from scratch. It still makes me smile and shake my head.
I was a fake and bake…..no really its true. Most things came either in a ready to bake dough or they were already baked. Now before you become a hater, know that almost all grocery stores do the exact same thing.
Besides, I didn’t really think I could bake, especially cakes. I tried a couple of times, but they always seemed dry and dense to me.
