Every Heart Beats True

...for my red, white & blue trifle!


Layers of angel food cake, vanilla pudding and fresh berries, topped with Cool Whip and a "festive" American flag. This thing went FAST!



I had a wonderful 4th of July weekend with family and friends, good food and fun fireworks. I hope you all did too!

Like Mother...

Yesterday was Mother's Day, so happy happy to those of you who have spawned. In honor of my own mother and grandmother, I made the following -


6" square white cake with strawberries & cream filling, vanilla buttercream and a topping of fresh flowers. Purple tulips and white peonies - which I beyond love! This was also my first attempt at fresh flowers on a cake, which made me nervous, but I did some research and was very pleased with this outcome. I will definitely be using flowers again!

I had brunch at my house, mostly so I could set the table all pretty and use my waffle maker. I never turn down the chance to use my waffle maker!

I definitely inherited my sweet tooth from these two. Mom and Nana, my favorite ladies, each went home with half the leftover cake. ;)
