Sad I am not in the US so can’t enter the comp. Also, as an aside, my daughter is allergic to citric acid – so that rules out anything citrus-y. (it’s the cause of her eczema, not dairy, fwiw). So instead of lemon/orange juice, I now use verjuice, which is made from the top part of the grape after it’s been juiced to make wine. Verjuice is non-alcoholic and has the same sour taste as lemon juice. If anyone else needs a substitute for lemons, try this.
The cake looks wonderful and so does the giveaway.
Anything berry is great to eat for a summer dessert!

Beautiful cake..and I am always interested in how your lovely baked items are displayed. I love beautiful silver and interesting plates and cake stands. I love the silver fork in this picture. My Mom collected antique silver forks, spoons and knives. She recently passed away and I have inherited so many of them. As a tribute to her, when I make a pretty cake or dessert I will place one of her silver items in the picture of my creation. The fork in your photo reminded me of her….sweet and lovely.

Can I ask why you use box cake mixes? It’s so easy and much tastier to make a cake from scratch. Not to mention all the preservatives and additives. Bit disappointed TBH.
Bethany, if you read my blog you will see that I use everything. I have over 100 original recipes on my site with from-scratch ingredients. Frankly, I get quite disenchanted by the homemade vs. box debate. I am just happy when people choose to bake! I would never judge someone for using a box, I would be grateful and thankful they chose to share!
Thanks for your reply. Frankly I didn’t think this even was a debate anymore.
