This cake is right from the Better Homes and Gardens New Cookbook.  And it is fabulous.  And oh-so-summery!

For the frosting I just threw together some confectioners sugar, some of my leftover zest, and milk. I know I liked the final result!

  5. I’m a chocolate chip cookie girl all year round but I love making the kids ice cream cupcakes in the summer. Quick and easy snack and portion controlled size ice-cream – it’s a win-win!

  8. Amanda,

    I love that you one of the “entry”s is tell someone you know they have a great smile! Well, although I don’t “know” you in the traditional sense – I feel like I do since you have always been a great help to me (both via your blog and via email). So I’ll tell you…… You have such a warm and welcoming smile that although I haven’t seen it in person, I bet I would recognize you in a minute if you were walking down a NYC street! Hope your day is a good one!!

    Jennifer

  9. We do a lot of fresh and frozen fruit (especially raspberries or blueberries) on vanilla ice-cream in the summer. Yum!
