Proper name should be: Gugelhupf, but it is still tasty. I found the recipe in the cookbook I got for Christmas from J&J. I needed to use up some of our many oranges (too sour for the morning juice).[I just wrote this post and then accidentally erased it, so here is the brief version.]
Cakes. I am not the best baker of cakes, but this one turned out pretty well. Once I made a cake for my mom's birthday, and it stuck to the pan, so it was in pieces. My sisters and I decorated it with green frosting and strawberries - an over-the-strawberry-hill cake! In this case, I substituted half the butter with applesauce and omitted the orange blossom water (not that I even know what it is), and since my Gugelhupf pan is in Austria (somewhere in a box in JK's aunt's old farmhouse), I used an angelfood cake pan. But it came out well, if a bit dry. So JK decided to try a fancy food photo shoot. Unfortunately we had already eaten some. :)
Brief Burli Update (BBU):
Night-weaning appears to be working. After his final going-to-sleep nursing around 11, he slept through the night, only waking once to cuddle (no asking to nurse and no crying!), and then woke at 6:30 or so for morning nursing, and then he went back to sleep until his usual 7:30. Hopefully he will continue this. And hopefully he will sleep in his own bed by the time he is 8 or 9.

Can I hatecha just a lil' bit? Just kidding--that is seriously great. I wish, wish, wish I was still nursing. Of course, I wish just a little more that my boy hadn't woken up 7+ times last night. But hey, can't have everything. At least I can now write a paper on the nuances of Sandra Boynton's work, LOL.
Ok, you don't have an email addy on your profile, so WHERE did you go to HS? I went to South Meck, but I graduated in 1991, prolly waaaaay before you. My sister graduated in 1995, though...
