Success!

So the bluebbery/lemon cake that I posted about previously was a success! I don't think I've ever made such a complicated cake but it was definitely doable! I ate a whole bunch along the way as I always do...a perk of baking right???!!! I did not add the lemon extract to the icing and I ran out of powdered sugar so I substituted regular sugar. Reed and I agreed that move was ok as the sugar wasn't grainy enough that you would be put off by it. It must have been a hit because Reed's not a big fruit and fruit in cake person but he had quite his share!

Ready to bake! (this was a little tricky because I had to pull one out and leave the other two in and cook it way beyond the suggested time, also still need to invest in cooling racks so I just used plates)

Ah happiness. Happiness comes in many forms. The candle does make some happy. This candle was given to my roommate as a teacher present I think. I just love the packaging. For some, happiness is in the form of a slice of cake. I'm one of those 'some'. What makes you happy? That's just one of my happy things....I like to think happy things are joys from the Lord! In fact, happiness stems from joy in the Lord-the source of all good things!
