**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!

By going out for ice cream with my hubby!
Celebrations require cake! Just my opinion. 🙂
We usually have cookies on Thursday night. Unfortunately, they didn’t get made this week. 🙁
I agree with Christie. Celebrations don’t count unless there is a CAKE on the table. Chocolate cake with whipped cream/cream cheese frosting, Rum Cake, Carrot Cake, Strawberry cake. I tried to make a pink lemonade cake for my neighbor’s girls once — they had a lemonade stand. They loved it, but I couldn’t taste the lemonade. (I just added lemon zest and juice to a white Pillsbury mix. Then made the frosting PINK with lots of sprinkles.) Glad to see they have some new mixes. However, it’s NOT available in my local store. According to their store locator I’d have to drive 35 miles to buy one! Bummer.
I make cupcakes. There are so many ways to change the look of them to fit any celebration. Plus, you can vary the décor on each one, because there are so many of them.
We celebrate with anything chocolate – cake, cupcakes, brownies you name it we love it! I have just recently found your site/blog and love it. Can’t wait to get baking! I do follow Pillsbury baking on FB.
Thanks for sharing your tips and recipes.
I love making ombré cakes, I have a pretty simple method. I know you mentioned at Halloween you came up with an easy method, could you do a tutorial? I’d love to know what it is.
Love this cake!! We celebrate with good laughs and chocolate!!
Hi! Definitely cinnamon baked into something yummy or just cinnamon toast even. I’m afraid I’m on a cinnamon kick right now!
I forgot to mention that I Like Pillsbury’s page on FB!! Have a cake decorator friend that only uses Pillsbury cakes and she bakes quite a few.
