Mouth Watering Goodness

Warning: This post could cause drooling. Please protect your keyboards and have a towel handy.

Two words: Strawberry Cake.
My aunt brought PD's strawberry cake to our family reunion this summer, and my dad has been wanting more ever since. We did not have the recipe nor is it on PD's website, but I was able to find it on the WWW. I made it Thursday afternoon as a surprise for his birthday. He was pretty excited! Here are some pictures of the process.


These are the ingredients for the cake before adding the strawberries that were still thawing.

Mixing the cake batter. I think this picture is pretty cool.



Already looks yummy and hasn't even baked yet!

While waiting on the cake to bake, icing making process begins.

Icing before adding the 7 cups of powdered sugar...yes, 7 cups.



Gradually mixing in the 7 cups of sugar.



Icing=yum.

Not quite ready but looking good.


Ready, but still too hot for icing.



Don't you just want to take a bite?



The fun birthday candles for the birthday boy.



The final product. Seriously, my mouth is watering just looking at this picture. Is yours?

I'm jealous I didn't get to taste your cake! It looks yummy! Oh, and I did the random things blog. Still getting the hang of this, so I couldn't figure out how to link it back to you.
