Just Another Random Overdue Post!

Well, once again I am a little behind on posting!! Back in May my Sunday School class had a cook-out/Luau! It was a lot of fun and a great way to start the Summer. I made dessert...of course! I decided to try my two favorite cake flavors together...YUM! I made PD's strawberry cake recipe and put that cake on the bottom. I then put lemon icing on the cake and put lemon cake on top.

Homemade strawberry icing went on the top.
This cake did not last long. I don't even think everyone got a to try it!

I made cupcakes with the extra batter just in case the cake was gross! ha!

I just recently made this cake again for work...it didn't last long there either!

Sunday School Class at the Luau!

I finally made time to experiment with photoshop for a co-worker's beach pictures. It was so much fun, I decided to try out some other pictures. The one above is pre-editing.

I did some of this on my own with the help of a great book and used some actions, too! I really like how it turned out! What do you think?

I then converted the picture above to black and white...just because! I was so excited about learning how to do all this last night that I had a little trouble sleeping...now I am just having trouble stopping!

This weekend I am headed to a 3 day conference on feeding therapy for picky eaters...that would be me...should be an interesting weekend! One of my classmates will be there, and I am sooooo excited about spending the weekend with her. We will stay with my brother and SIL. I hope to take her to MBS for a cupcake (or 2! ha!)

Next week I will be sewing away as there are 3 OTs at work who are pregnant and we are having a triple shower for them on Thursday! Pictures from the weekend and sewing projects coming soon!

Mouth Watering Goodness

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?
