Home Made Strawberry Cake for my son's birthday tomorrow! :-)
Since I had other stuff to do including making my famous mac-n-cheese, my mom agreed to bake the birthday cake for my son's birthday tomorrow. She would normally make this cake with the store bought cake mix but I really wanted it to be as all natural as possible so she improvised and used another family cake recipe for caramel cake that is all from sratch, but used strawberries instead of caramel.
It came out a little thinner than her normal strawberry cake so we improvised again and made it a 2 layer, she spread the home made strawberry icing, then decorated the outside with sliced strawberries.
I wanted to decorate the cake with his name, but again did not want to use any artificial flavors or colors, so since my son loves blueberries as much as strawberries, I used some small blueberries to spell out his name on the top layer, then used a cake topper sign that says happy birthday. Tomorrow we will put the number 2 candle above the birthday sign. :-)
P.S. -Here's a sneak peak of my mac-n-cheese:

Um.. Yum! Awesome job mom, mom’s rock! My buddy’s first boy is Jaxon also, he’s about 8 now.
Happy Saturday ya’all, nice to see you in the kitchen again.
The cake looks like it turned out perfectly. I love the blueberry name too! Looking at the written recipe reminds me of my grandmas recipes- they’re all written out in cursive like that and I could swear it’s the same handwriting. Very cool!
Happy birthday to your Prince! I’m sure he loved every bit of that cake :)
Yes he did! I even gave him another piece for breakfast this morning with extra blueberries on top. ;)
Best number two birthday ever!!! What a cool Mom- bday cake for breakfast… love it!
You have a minor misspelling in the following sentence:
It should be sneak peek instead of sneak peak.@grammarnazi. You make me laugh every time I see you, whoever your dev is has a good sense of humor. I even get a laugh when you stop by my page and call me out. Laugh out loud.
