Glad ou liked the coffe cake. I can't get enough of it. I have made twice more since then with blueberries and raspberries...delish! The strawberries are losing their coor because of their high water content. They are not ideal in cakes but it works taste wise. Looks wonderful and you are right, the topping is wonderful too.Helenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15119932841882891505noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2019364330275165959.post-51829143320640908892007-06-25T01:05:00.000-04:002007-06-25T01:05:00.000-04:002007-06-25T01:05:00.000-04:00I love PB&J!!

I can't find guava jam where I live now but I've had it before and it certainly is delicious. I grew up with gorgeous fresh guavas and miss them too. We used to get the guavas that are crunchy like apples and white inside, but also the softer ones that are pink inside and have a slight rose fragrance -- I adore both kinds.<BR/><BR/>Cake looks yummy, too :-) .cheesewithaspoonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02351300109911801198noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2019364330275165959.post-32535367881929880872007-06-21T17:52:00.000-04:002007-06-21T17:52:00.000-04:002007-06-21T17:52:00.000-04:00Wowww they look yummy!!!Did you take permission fr...Wowww they look yummy!!!Did you take permission from the original recipe author??Vijihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03387093336698538977noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2019364330275165959.post-37639911864980888262007-06-21T15:25:00.000-04:002007-06-21T15:25:00.000-04:002007-06-21T15:25:00.000-04:00oh wow!!! these looks beautiful!

Thanks for your warm welcome to the blogsphere. <BR/><BR/> I am SO amazed in seeing your post today ~ I baked that cherry coconut cake of Helen's this past Sunday! Betty Jo passed along the link, & wow, was it ever yummmmo. A real keeper! I love your photos, & couldn't agree with you more re that crunchy topping. A dessert in itself! I agree with Sia ~ your poetic descriptions are enticing, even without the photos. Will have to keep that PB cookie recipe on hand ~ I know many PB fans of all ages. (who doesn't?!) <BR/><BR/>So glad you loved my blog banner. And, LOL, I was delighted to hear of your email exchange with Betty Jo. You are one very creatively savvy woman, in my book! ;-)<BR/><BR/>And ohhhh yes ~ I do see the incredible beauty that I wake up to ~ & still soak it in every time I look out any window. It's food for the soul. <BR/><BR/>Thanks so much for putting my blog on your blog roll! Wow. A first! <BR/><BR/>Have a great day! ;-)Carolynhttp://mountainmeadows.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2019364330275165959.post-28897204620285946522007-06-21T13:44:00.000-04:002007-06-21T13:44:00.000-04:002007-06-21T13:44:00.000-04:00Hi Cynthia,,Oh my god...what a tempting cookie...I...Hi Cynthia,,<BR/><BR/>Oh my god...what a tempting cookie...It is perfect like store bought one....USHAhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03764241583785892352noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2019364330275165959.post-47133430696308082582007-06-21T11:56:00.000-04:002007-06-21T11:56:00.000-04:002007-06-21T11:56:00.000-04:00I love guava jam, the similiar jam that I found he...I love guava jam, the similiar jam that I found here is marmelade..But i prefer guava ,your cookies looks wonderful...Sylviahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08774102162667883516noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2019364330275165959.post-79182696757000734502007-06-21T11:48:00.000-04:002007-06-21T11:48:00.000-04:002007-06-21T11:48:00.000-04:00Your cookies look gorgeous!
