A Typical 4th Of July!

Well...I now understand how easily it is to let hobbies and crafts that you passionately care about fade away.  Work!  Work just gets in the way.  But, it's okay - I am trying to find a way to incorporate my love of baking (and giving back) and business all into one!  Oh yes...I have a plan, but hush hush - it's just in the "idea" stage!

In the meantime, I am still baking here and there.  I just haven't gone over the top with cakes because I'm thoroughly enjoying my summer - lots of sun, pools, friends and family!  And what perfect way to celebrate all of that than on the 4th of July!  And it wouldn't be a 4th if I didn't make a cake.  This cake has been made numerous times, multiple different ways and I kind of just made it quickly to have something patriotic and  yummy!  I did a vanilla whipped icing (so yummy and light for summer!) with fresh strawberries and blueberries.  I was going more for taste and a light summer dessert considering the amount of food we had at our family BBQ!  Check out the cake below :)

Look forward to more cakes...I have a few more coming up this summer and remember to BAKE ON!
