**This would also be a perfect Mothers Day Cake!**
We have been desperate for Spring here in the midwest. With May snowstorms and chilly temps, getting a glimpse of the warm May sun seems an impossible dream.
So why not fake it?
I am going to substitute bright, cherry and delicious cakes for the lack of warm weather and sunshine!
And in that line of thinking I have decided that I no longer need a special occasion to make cake.
I simply cake it because I want to be happy and bring others happiness!
Want to know other ways I celebrate the “everyday”?
Dont let myself get caught up in perfection. I will never be perfect, so why do I keep striving for it?
See the top of that cake where the swirls arent all perfectly aligned in the middle? Oh well! Are the dishes mostly clean? Do the kids have clean clothes to wear tomorrow? Did we have dinner together and there was at least one veggie? (Even if my daughter only pretended to eat hers!) Did we spill popcorn because we were laughing so hard while watching a movie as a family?
Sounds perfect to me.
Embrace citrus. Nothing makes me feel more like Springtime then when I enjoy my first lemonade.
I have to tell you… the combination of these two flavors was really amazing! On their own they are fabulous as well… its really a win-win! 🙂
The fabulous folks at Pillsbury would like for you to enjoy some Springtime inspired joy and are offering a Fun Prize Pack!

My little, Preschooler and I celebrate everyday occasions with High-Fives, Hugs, and a little chocolate!
My 12 month old and I celebrate by getting a little ice cream. Or cake 🙂
I like to bake cakes to share with my coworkers
Gorgeous! Love the colors and the ombre effect. We often celebrate with cake pops from the cute little bakery downtown — inexpensive and portion controlled!
Love it!
We celebrate everyday occasions with cupcakes (of course!) and vodka (we don’t have any little ones at home)! There are so many great Mothers day dessert ideas out there I really don’t know how we’re going to pick just one. This combo sounds delicious! Happy Mothers Day.
Pot lucks at work. It’s something to look forward to.
We celebrate with cookies. 🙂
Definitely with something yummy from my oven! A perfect way to celebrate!
We celebrate with cuddles, singing, and dancing. My girls prefer to make up their own songs and dances and we all end up giggling (even daddy!). 🙂
Hatti took one look and asked, “is that Amanda?”. She’s catching on to you. 😉 Gorgeous cake, love the green and orange, such a different combo. (I was thinking it was going to be melon flavors!)
