This was the Bride and Groom cake topper my sister Kathy and I used on our wedding cakes~ '70's. It was nicely tucked away in Mother's maple hutch, thanks Mom! We're going to use it at Mika and David's wedding, not on the wedding cake but in some other way...any suggestions?
Mika wants fresh flowers on her cake...
My favorite cake in the whole wide world is STRAWBERRY CAKE, with cream cheese frosting. Just the other day I found this strawberry cupcake recipe. I loved the simplicity of it~ I had all the ingredients, the recipe was easy and I love the look of all the babycakes on displays...
Fresh strawberries~ fill the kitchen with a heavy, sweet scent.
1 cup finely chopped fresh strawberries with juice (from 1-1/2 cups whole berries)
Line 12-cup muffin pans with paper liners.
Blend cake mix, gelatin, chopped strawberries with juice, milk, oil and eggs in a large bowl.
Strawberry cupcake batter~ ; - )
Scoop batter into each cup, filling it three-quarters of the way.
Bake @350 for 20-25 minutes.
Let cupcakes cool on rack for 15 minutes before frosting.
Cream Cheese Frosting...
1 package (8oz.) cream cheese and 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, at room temperature.
Beat in large bowl.
Add confectioners' sugar a little at a time on low speed, beating until the sugar is well incorporated, 1 minute.
Add 2 teaspoons vanilla.
Blend until fluffy. Tint frosting with food coloring. I used 2 drops of red to make a light pink.
Place a heaping tablespoon of frosting of each cupcake.
Strawberry Cupcakes~
1 package plain white cake mix
1 package (3 oz.) strawberry gelatin
1 cup finely chopped fresh strawberries with juice (from 1-1/2 cups whole berries)
3/4 cup whole milk
3/4 cups vegetable oil
4 large eggs
Preheat oven to 350 and line two 12-cups muffin pans with paper liners.
Blend cake mix, gelatin, chopped strawberries with juice, milk, oil, and eggs in a large bowl with an electric mixer set on low speed for 30 seconds. Stop mixer and scrape down the sides of the bowl with a rubber spatula. Increase mixer speed to medium and beat 2 minutes, scraping down the sides of bowl if needed. Spoon or scoop batter into each cup, filling it three-quarters of the way.
Bake 20-25 minutes. Let cupcakes cool in pans on racks, 5 minutes. Remove cupcakes from pans and place on racks to cool for 15 minutes before frosting.
Cream Cheese Frosting~
1 package (8oz.) cream cheese, at room temperature
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, at room temperature
3 cups confectioners' sugar
2 teaspoons vanilla
Blend cream cheese and butter in a large bowl with an electric mixer set on low speed until combined, 30 seconds. Add sugar a little at a time on low speed, beating until the sugar is well incorporated, 1 minute. Add the vanilla, then increase speed to medium and blend the frosting until fluffy, 1 minute. Makes 3 cups.

This was the "flower" gift to my Mother for Mother's Day. It's a cute glass box/container. There are 4 little holes at the top for adding water and inserting fresh cut flowers. Dress it with a pretty ribbon and TA-DA!

You can purchase this glass flower container at LaurieAnna's Vintage Home at Canton First Monday...or contact LaurieAnna through her blog.
Can't wait to see this container in full bloom~ Zinnia's are one of my favorite summer flowers...Hoping everyone has a great "in the garden" week!
