For White's recent roast by the Friar's Club, Cake Boss Buddy Valastro created a life-size Betty White. The 5-foot-2-inch vanilla cake was covered with buttercream frosting and modeling chocolate, and depicts White accompanied by an edible silver fox, in tribute to her love of animals.

Pot lucks always produce a good recipe or two
Last night was the final meeting and annual pot luck dinner for my church book club, Women Walking in Faith. Because its initials WWF, happen to be the same as the World Wrestling Federation, my husband has dubbed the meetings "Women's Wrestling."
