baking…

I hope you all had a happy Father’s Day.  Over here, we had all the family over to celebrate the day and my little one’s birthday.   We had delicious stuffed burgers, strawberry salad, 7 layer salad, fresh corn, and lots of yummy stuff.  And of course, there was lots of baking.  I got up early enough on Sunday to turn out homemade cornbread and a strawberry tart in a dark chocolate crust.  But the main attraction all this week has been cake.  Vanilla cake with sprinkles – lots of sprinkles – and a purple surprise inside.  001

  White cake with berries and almonds.  Which would have been cuter if I could find smaller berries.  But at least these were sweet as could be.

And Orange Creamsicle cake.

109 Yum!    All three were a big hit.  And now, I’m off to make Oreo cupcakes for my daughter’s friends.   I may just start saying “preheat to 350” and “cream the butter and sugar” in my sleep!  Hope you have a great week!

Best,

Stephanie

    You are a wonder, Stephanie! I tried my hand at a fresh apricot and berry tart and it came out pretty well (for a non-baker like me!) Your cakes look so delicious.

    All three of those look gorgeous, but I'm particularly fond of the sprinkle cake...think some would last in the mail to Arizona? ;)
