Bake the Book: Simple Cakes

In addition to taking part in the Tuesdays With Dorie project of baking our way through Baking With Julia, I've decided to embark on my own "bake the book" project with Christie Matheson's Simple Cakes. Henceforth, when you see a post starting with BTB, it'll refer to this project. Let's see how long it takes me to get through Simple Cakes!
