Our neighbor has a really big lilac bush with branches that hang over into our yard. Within the last couple of days it has exploded with blossoms and it smells amazing! Lilacs are my favorite flower so I'm going to enjoy them while they last. I cut a few off and put them in my kitchen...they smell so good!
I thought I'd show you my first ever cake made from scratch. I volunteered to make Becky's (my mom-in-law) birthday cake and she opted for a coconut cake. I was a little nervous that it wouldn't turn out right. The only bad thing that happened is that the edges stuck to the parchment paper and started falling apart. But isn't that what frosting is really for, to cover up all the mistakes!?! So this picture is before I frosted the sides...I wanted to show that it had coconut filling. It turned out to be quite yummy and all of the coconut fans loved it. Though I don't think I'll make it very often...each piece has 500 calories!!!
How are you doing hun!?
ReplyDeleteActually I'm really good...no puking! Yay! I get sick to my stomach if I don't eat a snack every couple of hours. Aside from pregnancy stuff work and church keep me pretty busy.
ReplyDeleteThat cake looks so good! I think I might need the recipe. Way to go Jeanine!
