Strawberry Cake

This is Pioneer Woman's Strawberry Shortcake Cake (and her photos, not mine.)

It is by far the best strawberry cake I've ever made or had... I think because it really does remind me of strawberry shortcake.  You should try this for sure.  Or anything Pioneer Woman makes for that matter... all of her recipes look so good, and her blog is just so funny.

I'm looking forward to keeping up with her blog. (And trying to keep up with MINE too!) I actually considered canceling my blog because I've neglected it the last few months, but then I reminded myself, I'm doing this for me and it's supposed to be something I enjoy... if I'm only able to pop in every now and then, oh well!

So I will be back, hopefully sooner than later :)

Edible ink

Beautiful job Bakerella!  I have always wanted to try this icing method... edible ink printed onto frosting sheets and applied to sugar cookies.

Especially with the darling vintage images you can find:

Like these at Intimate Weddings and Rolling Pin Productions.

Aren't they sweet?

If you're reading this...

...I'd like some of these for Valentine's Day <3

February already?

Well, the month of January absolutely flew by... After the craziness of graduation and Christmas, I moved to a new city for a new job and have a new routine...

So I've just been busy adjusting and have enjoyed every minute of it.  It was time for a change of scenery :)

Anyway, here's proof that we actually did get around to making those Christmas cookies I mentioned before... It may have been after the fact, but my niece and nephew couldn't have had more fun.

And since then, the only other thing I've managed to bake was for our Super Bowl party...

more football cake bites... requested by Chris and Allen.

35 footballs gone in 2.5 days. I'd say they were a hit.
