You may notice a lot of sweet items. It is very symbolic to fill the table with sweet foods to help bring a sweet year. Honey is especially prominent on the menu.
I love the new year. According to the Hebrew calendar, we are starting 5769. It's a time of renewal and hope. It's a reminder to stop, look, and appreciate.
L'shanah tovah umetukah. May you have a good and sweet year.
L'shanah tovah tikatevi v'taihatemi. May you be inscribed and sealed for a good year.
Some wonderful recipes have been picked for October. I'll be back in full baking force next week.

Thanks for all the kind words! Dinner was a success. I have a story about the cake for another time.

Although I'm not Jewish, I would love to know how you make orange honey spice cake. Would you share the recipe?

I substituted triple sec for the whiskey. It was delicious!
L'shanah tovah!!
