**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. Â 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. Â 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!

Sometimes we go out to eat or get ice cream.

i celebrate the end of each work day with a few spoonfuls of chocolate butter cream. i always make too much when baking. my thought process is to save it for my next cake. somehow that extra butter cream never sees that next cake 🙂 mix in a few kisses from my jack russell, elvis, and i’d say that’s a great way to end the day!
HUGS! Celebrating happy moments with hugs. =D
We celebrate everyday by eating breakfast and dinner together. Sometimes we laugh, talk or even fight, but we are all there together. AND we always pray.
My favorite thing to do is fix something for a picnic and take my sweetheart and dog for a short get away to the ranch. Sometimes it doesn’t go as planed. Last summer my dog brought about 50 of our cows to join in. And yes, they stayed and watched us eat.
Such a pretty cake! I celebrate everyday occasions by cooking special meals or baking. I look for excuses to entertain family and friends. I’m making your cake to take to my pottery class next week just because it’s the last day of pottery class. I made two cakes from scratch (chocolate pound cake with chocolate frosting & brown sugar pound cake with brown sugar fudge frosting) last week to celebrate the accomplishments of two coworkers.
We celebrate with a spoonful of salted caramel… Our treat for putting the kids to bed at night!
Hugs are our favorite way to celebrate!
