Thank you for making my recipe! You took pictures, right? Well go ahead and post them on Instagram! Be sure to mention me @iambaker and use the hashtag #YouAreBaker.
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!
I would love to be able to make frosting that freezes in that beautifully overflowing way.
Ha! I commented, but forgot to say what my favorite summer dessert is. It’s silly, but I love that cake where they use whipped cream and blueberries and strawberries to make a flag on top.
Everyone is in bed for the night except me, but first thing tomorrow I’ll be sure to tell my husband how much I love to see him smile 🙂
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.
Hope you are your family are doing OK during the difficult adjustment of losing a loved one……I told a hot dog vendor on a hot day in Hawaii with a line of people waiting that he not only had a great smile, but a wonderful attitude as well.. 🙂
In the summer I love to make a fruit cobbler and serve it with homemade vanilla whip cream. I have made peach, raspberry, blueberry, and blackberry cobblers..sometimes mixing fruit and sometimes using just one. So yummy warm, but I also love it the next day cold out of the fridge!
Oh my goodness…my 2 favorite things…lemon cake and blueberries…yummy!!!!
My favorite summer dessert is ice cream.
yum!! I love any dessert in the summer that has fruit in it, so refreshing and light!!
I have to say my all time favorite desserts for any time of year are lemon anything!!! Thanks for the great new recipe!
I love cobblers with the fresh fruit that is on sale each week.
