Yummy Cake

Daughter L made this beautiful diabetic friendly cake to celebrate both my birthday and Father's Day this year. My birthday is always pretty close to Father's Day. Here is the recipe, she might have made a few changes here and there. She said the icing was made with cool whip and cream cheese along with a few spoons of coconut milk, yum.

Sunday Sketches - Cake

Welcome to Sunday Sketches! This cake piece is done on good quality textured dark blue card stock in acrylic (6" x 6"). If I have it printed up as greeting cards they could be used for weddings or birthdays.  I'm very conscious of adding some depth these days so I decided to add the black background.

Gifts and Cake

I celebrated my birthday in June, and a good friend took me to lunch a few weeks earlier to celebrate. She brought me this nice card and some very useful gift cards which were easily used.

Daughter L got me this yummy strawberry cake for the actual day of my birthday.

A break in the weather

   Laurie mentioned that Canada was the coldest place on the planet this past  Friday.  No wonder we were all shivering and in hibernation mode!  There was a break in the weather on the Saturday.  M, K and I decided to splurge and have brunch at Panera Bread. I had the new ham and gruyere breakfast sandwich as pictured:

All too soon it went cold again.

We've been eating cake this week. K was complaining there's no 'good' food in the house lately, such as cake and potato chips (right!)  M decided to go out and buy some chips and cake. We decided to get a white 'birthday cake' type of cake with frosting, all decorated. M had them write 'College Bound' on it. K was tickled pink. He even asked for a rosebud on his first slice. Well, let's hope College becomes a reality anyway! I asked M why he had to buy 3 bags of salty chips. He said it was a special when you bought 3 bags! What could I say, lol.
