CAKE!

I might have forgotten to mention the fabulous cake I was going to have for my birthday... It was fabulous! XD I thought you all might want to see some pictures! Oh and JoAnn & Ant had birthdays with sweet treats too! So their pics are here too...

3 batches of butter cream frosting weren't enough! The outside is whipped cream!


And this was tempting us all night!


Making wishes: me for my birthday, Ant for cake! ^-^


After serving...


Leftovers! Lia is the only one who finished her whole piece! o.O


Josie made her own Lemon Bars! And we all played Clue!


Finishing touches on Ant's Japanese Strawberry Shortcake!


Ant didn't want his picture taken... so I had to be sneaky... ^o^


Oh noes! After cutting it fell apart! >.<


It was still very tasty!

Le Cake Day

To eat the cake, keep it and even give it as a gift.



Being one who LOVES cake, when I found out about Le Cake Day, naturally I had to request my own cake; and Charity Joy Bell gave me the loveliest cake, which I am now going to share with Jacqueline, who I think will really like this pretty cake!



Here are the rules:

1. If you want to get and give cake (and you're not Jacqueline), go to Le Cake Day and request your own! ^-^
2. When you get cake, copy and paste the Le Cake Day Code into your post or onto your sidebar (whichever you choose).
3. Have good enough manners to say "thank you" to me or to the person who gave you the cake!
4. Pass the cake on (by copying the cake and pasting into your post) to only one person who should in turn pass it on to only one other person. Pass the cake by linking to the site of the person you want to give it to, and then notify your friend that he/she "has got cake."
5. You may pass on the same cake that was passed on to you, or you may look for a different cake which you think would suit the next person better.
6. Let the next person know about the rules by copying these rules and pasting them into your post.

Sunday Sharing

I got this in an email the other day. Obviously someone had forgotten (thank you!) I am now diabetic and should not hold the secrets to cake in 3 minutes (omg yum!)... But now I do, and thus, so I don't take this to my grave with me (all the more closer now), I must share....

The Most Dangerous Cake Recipe In The World:
Chocolate Cake-In-A-Mug
Use a 10 oz., 11 oz. or 12 oz. coffee mug. Recipe is designed for a 1000 watt microwave oven. If your oven is less, say 700 watts, bake a few seconds longer. If your oven is more, say 1100 watts, bake a few seconds less.

Ingredients:
4 Tbsp cake flour (plain, not self-rising, not cake mix)
4 Tbsp sugar
2 Tbsp cocoa
1 small or medium egg
3 Tbsp milk (any kind you like)
3 Tbsp oil
1 small splash of vanilla
3 Tbsp chocolate chips (optional)

1. Add dry ingredients to mug, mix well with a table fork.


2. Add egg, mix thoroughly with a teaspoon.


3. Pour in milk, oil and vanilla, mix well.


4. Add chips, if using. Mix in.


5. Put the mug into the microwave oven and bake for 3 minutes on high.


6. The cake may rise above the top of the mug. Don't be alarmed by this.


7. Allow it to cool a little, then tip it onto a plate.


8. Eat and enjoy! Makes one good serving or two smaller servings.

Toppings: You may eat it as is or put a little topping on it. Suggestions - a little bit of any of the following: chocolate syrup, whipped topping, whipped cream, ice cream, crushed pineapple taken by fork from either pineapple juice or sugar syrup, honey. Use your imagination.

Tips:

• You may have to experiment a little with this one.


• Measure everything accurately. You may want to use less sugar. Add cake flour in the same amount as the sugar you don't use.


• Mix thoroughly. Scrape the bottom and the round edge at the bottom of the cup with the spoon. The dry ingredients have a tendency to stick there.


• The cake may not come out as a perfect cylinder.

And WHY is this the most dangerous cake recipe in the world? Because, now we are all only five minutes away from chocolate cake at any time of day or night!!!
