Hey guys, this week's post is going to be short and sweet. In light of recent events, i really haven't had the time to write anything good. Actually, it's Halloween and I'm sitting here with Noelle, my friend from school, and trying to come up with something to write. But, before i start, please keep my great Uncle's soul in your prayers.
Alrighty, this week's post is about my brother's 5th birthday cake, that i believe was filled with ice cream. Now, let me warn you, the further away from the current date, the less and less I'll probably remember the cakes :). OK, so the most i can tell you is that, Kyle was playing baseball for the ... i can't remember if it's the Oregon Ducks or the As... well, he was playing baseball and we had a party at Tri-City Park, right next door to where he plays, and he invited his school friends and his baseball friends. So, my mom made both a cake and cupcakes, both in the shape of baseballs. The frosting was my moms famous butter cream and the lettering was another, colored, version of the same butter cream. It was red and blue. Then mom made a gel frosting and wrote "B-Day" on the cake.
Now, i don't remember the type of ice cream that was inside of the cake so... but i know that the cakes were both vanilla flavored. So, until next week, please enjoy the other entrys.
P.S. Just a warning for Christmas, these aren't really cakes but my mom makes these delicious cookies that you're going to want to hear about, so be warned :) :)
I'm enjoying this cake blogging adventure. Wonderful baking masterpieces! Since it is Autumn I used my mother's recipe for pumpkin bread that you bake in coffee cans and it comes out as little 'cakes' and they are delicious. I will upload the recipe written in her own hand.
ReplyDeleteBTW, My mother's name was Dolores Ferraro Slaven, married to Walter Slaven, Lisa's uncle. She used to make this for Halloween and Thanksgiving and I've kept the tradition. (Good luck finding real coffee cans!)
