Cake Experimenting...

I'm experimenting with different recipes for Italian Cream Cake.  Samantha said it was a favorite for her fiancé, Everett.
They're going to have a December 7th wedding and she wanted me to make the Groom's Cake.  Never have I done anything like this but, I'll try anything once.  This is their sample cake...  She'll let me know if I need to keep trying or if we have a winner.


Everett and Samantha (granddaughter)

Larry said (hubby) I'd been working too hard on that cake...I needed a break...geeez...I can Not stay on my locarb diet routine...no will power!

Makes getting the cake out of the tin, effortless!  Aluminum handles!  I cut a cardboard round,  placed two strips of foil under the round,  folded over the tin's edges...Placed the ice cold cake on the cardboard round and placed it in the tin.  When the kids go to eat it, they can take it out easily!


And it was Libby's dreaded day to visit the vet for her nail clipping... :o(

Not a happy camper...she stresses out, poor baby...but it always ends up well and with a treat.

SO...That's been about all I've been up to this week.  It rained here earlier in the week...almost four inches!!  We have great drains for just this reason in the back yard but hard and fast is always overwhelming.  It let up about the time we started to worry!  But, all ended well with nothing in the house ruined.  The water came up on the patio but not high enough to reach the back door...dodged a bullet!
Well, y'all be safe and warm or cool my friends!  Hopping over to check on you!

My oh my, but your cake looks so divine, Donna!! Did the kids love it? Was it a winner for the grooms cake? That is so nice of you to do that for the engaged couple. The wedding will be here before you know it!

A good-looking young couple. :)

Libby is a little beauty, too.

The cake looks so delicious!! I'll be making a largish lemon butter cake next week - it's not for me, though.
