Ta Da!

I have officially decorated my first cake! I was looking for inspiration the other day in my post Cake Goddess in Training.

Raspberry Lemon Cake with Lemon Cream Cheese Icing

I debuted my finished product to John yesterday morning and he loved it.

Then he commented, “oh you didn’t put any lemon peel on top”

“No, I didn’t!” rolling my eyes

As John walked out the door he commented, “do you think any other couples debate over whether a cake should have a zest of lemon on the topping?”

We both laughed!

So seriously, I’m curious to know if you and your partner have discussions like ours? Maybe we’re just strange!

I would LOVE your opinion – if you agree with John and his lemon garnish, we’re friends off – just joking!!

Cake Goddess in Training

July 20, 2011 By Leave a Comment

One of our favorite TV shows lately has been Chef Ramsey’s MasterChef. Last week the competitors had to make a 6 layer sponge cake!

John’s Birthday is in a week and I was secretly planning to make him a cake for this special day. Well – he beat me to the punch! Chef Beazley got creative in the kitchen this week and made a sponge cake with lemon rinds!

He cut the cake in 2 pieces and then left to work for a couple days. Before he departed, he informed me that he “left the cook book open to the page with the lemon cream cheese icing”.

So here I am – looking for the domestic goddess angels to surprise me with their presence! I’m going to rock this cake – I keep telling myself.

I picked up a package of fresh raspberries to use between the 2 cake layers and garnish. If I’m going to do this – I’m going to do it amazing. Always striving to Surprise & Delight! Wish me luck…

Enjoy the summer heat,
