Grown Up Birthday Cake


Is your family like ours? We have a traditional birthday cake -- served every year for each one of our birthdays.


But, as we've aged, we've lost our "love" of frosting... and our taste buds have grown, more, shall we say -- sophisticated.


This year, for my sister's 23rd birthday {which just happens to be today}, I made her a grown up version of our traditional birthday cake!


White cake...
Lemon curd filling...
Vanilla whipped cream "frosting"... and,
Fresh raspberries!


It was a hit!  And... I believe, this will be our new traditional birthday cake!!

Yellow Cake Mix Recipe -- use 3 egg whites only, save the egg yolks for the lemon curd!
Vanilla Whipped Cream Frosting -- use 1/2 C powdered sugar, 1 tsp, vanilla and 3/4 C whipping cream and whip together.  




Happy Birthday, Little One!  Even though you have grown up... it's good to know you're never too old to be serious in a photo ;-)
