Baked and Sold in Maggie Valley for Over 16 Years ~ Mrs. Miller's Apple Cake.

Susie Blackmon-Maggie Valley Waynesville Horse Person/NC Broker/Realtor: Real Estate Agent in Waynesville, NC

Susan Miller gave me a wonderful gift early this week.... an Apple Cake ~ but not just any Apple Cake…. it was a ‘Mrs. Miller’s Apple Cake‘ ~ “The ORIGINAL Apple Cake baked and sold in Maggie Valley, NC for over 16 years.”

Susan Miller is one of Mrs. Miller’s daughters and is a certified chef and American Culinary Federation Member (since 2000), complete with a ServSafe Certification.

Mrs. Miller’s Apple Cake should be in the Harry & David catalog, not to mention Neiman-Marcus. It is THAT GOOD. Really. Moist, full of apples, topped with whole fresh pecans, and embellished with the perfect combination of natural spices.

The cakes would make spectacular gifts. Call 772-529-5925 to talk to Susan, or email her at MrsMillersAppleCake@yahoo.com ~ she would love to take your orders.

Maggie Valley's Sunrise Was Something to See This Morning.

The sunrise this morning in Maggie Valley was amazing (again). Temperature was a brisk 40 degrees.

Just an hour or so later I was standing on my deck and noticed smoke that wasn't from a fireplace. It came from across the creek from me (not close), so I hopped in my SUV, wrapped in my leopard Snuggie, to see where the sirens were leading.

There are more fire photos here. Hopefully no one was injured.

There are beautiful creeks, streams and rivers winding through Maggie Valley, and you will find creekside RV parks, homes and lots.

Each and every creek and river in Haywood County originates right here in Haywood County? No water flows into Haywood County. Here's a creek video from my recent outings.

Rain, rain, go away. Maggie Valley is overcast again this morning but it's not raining .. yet. As you can see from the photos, our creeks have plenty of water in them right now.

Here are some 'of interest' links:

Beautiful early morning sunlight was crawling across the pretty Maggie Valley farm early Sunday morning. It's easy to see that our leaves have fallen. This farm can be seen off of Soco Road as you head over the mountain to get to Cherokee, which is a beautiful and winding drive.
