A weeks ago, we celebrated Brian's birthday and of course I made him a cake. A few years ago, I started a tradition of making a cake for Brian's birthday. That first year was a complete disaster and I messed up the ingredients so badly that the cake was not even edible. It was my first attempt at homemade cake and a homemade red velvet cake at that! Well, I learned my lesson and now upon request from Brian, I make his cake using a mix from a box. Someday I will master the art of homemade cake baking!
So here it is - the beautiful birthday (from a mix) cake! I used the last of our wedding candy (from the candy buffet) to decorate his cake. It was quite delicious!
This weekend is going to be busy - Joan Benoit is in town to speak to my running club and run in the National XC Race here on Saturday! Can't Wait!!
Happy Friday!

That is definitely a nice-looking cake! Good work, Jo.
I am SO EXCITED about this weekend! I still have no idea how coach and the board got Joan to come here. But it should be fun!
I am impressed! I couldn't even attempt to make something like that.
Enjoy Joanie's talk...she's the best!
Nice cake! And a great way to include the candy. :)
Have fun at the XC race!
mmmhhh looks so yummy!!!
That's so pretty! Who cares if it's a box mix? All the decorations make it special.
Great ake!
You may not have mastered the art of baking from scratch, but you sure know how to decorate a fun cake. Love it!
And cake mix cakes are my FAVORITE. I always enjoy them more than even the best homemade cakes.
