My sweet yet silly grands!!!

James at the wedding venue wanted a Blueberry Bomb cake for his step dads bday. So he whipped out the money for me to make it.

However, making it in a larger pan, then flipping it out of the pan, it broke up. 

CRAP!

But, upon putting on the icing, cream cheese icing, I was able to piece it together and cover it up.

I do not do a full cover of icing, I actually melt the container of icing a little (no, I did not make the icing this time) and I sort of pour it over the cake and smooth it out. 

I made this same cake using pie filling cherries and leaving the blueberries out, it was moist, tasted good but was not the blueberry bomb!  HAHA.....

Do you have a fave cake? Do you make it or does someone make it for you?

I've never heard of this cake before, but it sounds yummy. Carrot and cherry cakes (the latter from a box mix) used to be favorites when we were younger. You have lovely grandchildren. :)

I've not had cake in years, but I did love German chocolate cake in my youth. I think it was the frosting I liked the most. Can I come over for some cake, and lasagna? I'm hungry now.

Have a fabulous day, Pam. Scritches to all the babes. ♥

Grandkids are adorable and my favorite cake IS COCONUT for sure! I also love good homemade pies......coconut and the old fashioned chocolate pie with meringue on top, my Ma-Maws made such good pies. My one grandma oh my gosh she made the most amazing HOMEMADE BUTTERSCOTCH PIES. Never had anything like it before or since. She always had a butterscotch or chocolate pie ready and waiting for me when we came to visit, and my other ma-maw had the big white old fashioned coconut cake covered in fluffy 7 minute frosting and snowy coconut,up there on the sideboard on her glass cake plate, waiting for me. That old fashioned icing was 6 minute or 7 minute, I don't remember??---and it boiled on the stove or something. Sure was delicious. I like to bake spice cakes in the Fall and winter, and use cream cheese icing. The stuff that COMES OUT OF A CAN..........HA HA HA LOL!

The Rest of Today

Image
After my trip to town today,  visit with the doc, stopping  and picking up breakfast I  headed home.  I had dropped Dakota off at mom's for the day. He was going  to spend the day  playing with Klohe and Cheyenne. While he was hanging at mom's Lily and I chilled all day.  So much to do but I can't seem to get it in gear. Later....I had an apt for a hair cut. But I left out early to stop  at the  Mystic Heart. I picked up some healing stones there.  Entering the store I read this sign... haha Then while in there I saw this sign. From there I headed to see  Kelley, my hair stylist. This is what I was shooting for. Course, it will look different on  me due to hair color and  texture of hair.  I am good with it. I got to Heads Up a bit early  so Kelley still had a young boy she was working on and his dad after him. I had to snap a pic of Kelley making sure that I got

Well, what was I thinking? HAHA After laying on my couch in so much pain all summer, I knew moving closer to  Amber was the thing to do, The timing of finding my dream home was off. However, Two days of Open House and I have a contract. Selling as is, minor repairs.  Inspection to be done after  the work in the  den and BR is done. The process of getting here while just a couple of weeks of healing was a challenge. My daughter was a big  help weekend before  last. I just collect to many projects that I  never get around to and that has to stop. I have to say, last time  was easier, I had moved into my childhood home before I sold the other, so it was empty when sold. EASIER. I hate moving so close to Christmas but it is  what it is. Fall seems to have made it to us the past week. I am surprised, we were losing so many leaves due to no rain,  glad to have some color. In between packing, cleaning, repairs and life in general, I have  managed to do a few things. I taught a paint class an
