June 21st, 2018 marks the Summer Solstice here in our dear Northern Hemisphere, also celebrated as Midsummer and Litha. The Summer Solstice is a magical time on many levels. Living in the north, most of us long for this day, for the official coming of summer, of warmth, ease, freedom. This is a time when
The Summer Solstice marks the beginning of Summer on a day usually between June 19th - 25th in the Northern Hemisphere. Also known as Litha or Midsummer, the longest day of the year allows us to fully celebrate the gift of Light. Now that Summer is among us, we must enjoy all the illumination, life & growth, that the Sun provides for us. In witnessing the longest day of the year, we also experience the shortest night of the year & with this we can embrace the light that outweighs the darkness. Pagan cultures often view this as a time to celebrate the full pregnancy of the Goddess & the virility of the Sun God, as He has now reached his peak strength. As the Sun appears to stand still in the sky, we can look to find the balance between Sky & Earth, Fire & Water. By holding a bonfire ritual near a body of water, we invoke an energy that dwells within us, bringing passion & fury, calmness & motion, God & Goddess. Although some can view this time as a battle between light & dark, one can use this time to find the balance within themselves. We can enjoy this new season to get back out in nature, enjoy our communities, friends, family & hobbies, as Summer truly brings a magick all on it's own.

In celebration of of our up coming summer solstice, the girls and I decided to create a sun inspired cake! It was wonderful to bring this sunshine to life ( especially since today was a quite the grey rainy day). I wanted to come up with a cake that was simple and delicious ~ This cake seemed to fit that desire and it is my joy to share... For this sweet sunshine treat you will need vanilla organic cake mix (or any cake that you choose to use) ~ I needed quick and easy : ) eggs safflower oil milk (we used rice) lemons to squeeze ~ we made our icing lemon infused to add a little zing! icing sugar butter edible flowers ~ if you have them around and I shall share the secret of yellow icing without chemicals...turmeric! It works wonderful and the taste is hidden beneath the lemon and the sweetness. we baked our two round cakes ~ can't you just see the excitement brewing... we then froze them overnight to make the icing easier and the cutting cleaner (avoiding the crumbling) and then cut one of our circle cakes like this... then assembled our pieces as such... we picked some ~ oh so juicy ~ wild strawberries to adorn our cake... and I think perhaps ate more than we put into the bucket (isn't that half the fun!!!) We gathered daisies asking them to shine on our cake, sampled daisy petals and picked wild flower bouquets... and then proceeded with much joy in creating... Our Sunshine Cake topped with the pretty faces of Ms. Marigold, Ms.Pansy, Ms.Violet and Ms. Wild Stawberry... sending out a warm, radiant, glow of sunshine to you... ~ Shanti ~
