Shakotis

 Shakotis is Bette Sue's favorite traditional cake in Lithuania.  The word means Tree Cake.  Other countries make it too but the form is different in each place and the taste varies too.

For the first time, we got to see the Shakotis being made.  It was really fun and we even got to ladle the dough onto the cake.  It is roasted in front of a fire and the cake continues to rotate and cook.  It was a special day for us to arrive at the restaurant as they were making a cake.  This restaurant/bakery is in the area near the camp and we had been there to visit with our friends, Mike and Debbie Bannon, for the last time this term
