Thirty-Day Friendship Cake
This friendship cake recipe uses a starter to make 2 delicious fruitcakes. It takes 30 days to prepare, but it's worth it. If you are lucky, a friend will give you 2 cups of starter (and a piece of cake), so you won't have to make one. Begin with step 1 if you have the starter. If you don't have the starter, follow the link below to Friendship Fruit Starter. It will take 50 days total if you need to make the starter.
Lemon Curd Bars with Coconut
This bar has the two crusts as requested, and has a strong tangy lemon taste, so much better than most of the lemon bar recipes out there due to the lemon curd and added coconut!
Fruit Salad with Vanilla Yogurt
This is a recipe that my aunt made for me not long ago, and you can pretty much make it your own by adding your favorite fruits or taking out what you don't like. Also changing the yogurt flavor will change the taste as well.
