We’ve sewn A LOT of circle skirts together over the years. Looking back at the original tutorial it’s crazy to compare little Lucy twirling around in a plaid flannel skirt, with older Lucy today (almost 15 years-old) twirling around in another flannel skirt….in front of a white wall. Haah. So many pictures in front of […]

**Although I made the cake, the photo above is property of Alicia Kinne Photography. Please visit her website for pricing on her incredible photography sessions, and to be inspired by her other beautiful work.** Today, I thought I'd share something extra special with all of you! My darling niece is turning 1 this month, and her Daddy was able to sneak home from serving in the Army for an early birthday party to celebrate. I felt so blessed to be able to use what newbie skills I have to make the day special in what little way I could. I love my nieces and nephews so much, and making cakes for them is something I will always always say HECK YES to. Before the big day, by sister asked me to make a smaller rosette cake for the official "smash cake" for a photo session by Alicia Kinne Photography. I couldn't wait! The cake went quickly, even though I was extra nervous to make it (I mean, it was going to be photographed by an official professional photographer, not just me and my little point-and-shoot in the kitchen. The pressure was crazy!). Everything, as you can see on the look of this sweet little girl's face, went beautifully. She is such a little ginger princess, is such an incredible miracle baby for their family, and I love her so much! **Although I made the cake, the photo above is property of Alicia Kinne Photography. Please visit her website for pricing on her incredible photography sessions, and to be inspired by her other beautiful work.** For the actual party, my sister originally showed me a photo of a three-tiered-practically-a-wedding-cake cake. I laughed. There was no way, man. She's turning 1, and that just seemed a little too cray-cray. Then again, making cakes is kind of fun :) I baked the first two tiers, and then called my sister. I told her the dang thing was just begging for another tier. So I made a shorter one on the bottom to extend the ombre look from top to bottom. The top layer was a smaller 6", 2-layer, simple vanilla frosting, with white chocolate cake, with these awesome edible stars my sister found at Michael's (a craft store). The next layer was a pedal technique I have come to love so dearly (mostly because you don't have to frost it perfectly underneath for it to still look great after the pedaling on the outside. As you can see, I made a small error - the cardboard under the second tier was showing through. I should have done the pedals when the second tier was already on the bottom tier (instead of doing everything separately as I usually do). I tried to cover it up with a little piping action, but it still bugs me just looking at it. AGH! The bottom layer was just a simple wrap around frosting job. I spun the base around on my spinner while I held the frosting knife steady on the outside. It added a bit of a layering look, and I love it! Did I mention this thing was HEAVY? I forgot how heavy cakes can get. It was nuts. Driving/delivering it was just as fun, man. Here's a quick shot I took at the party - Ashley went all out in the backyard of their home. Everything was totally decked out in gold stars, and that familiar light & dark pink I had been working with for a couple days in frosting. The food was amazing, and little miss did such a great job with all the attention. I loved being able to make a cake for someone in the family - always a treat. literally :) haah.
Okay guys. I have the PERFECT Fourth-of-July and any-other-summertime-family-treat for you. These berries and cream floats are a MUST MAKE! During the summer we love to make drinks and smoothies! You may have caught my Hawaiian Lava Flows, Melonberry Lemonade, Roasted Peach Lemonade, Toasted Coconut Vanilla Limeade, Mint Limeade, Fresh Cherry Limeade, and even our favorite Kiwi Lemonade here on the blog over the past couple years. I love experimenting with different fruits, textures, and fizzy mix-ins to get just the right combo. When I opened my Food Network magazine this month, all that work had been done for me! I saw these amazing Berries & Cream floats and knew we'd definitely have to make them asap. Well, we did. And we fell in love immediately. I couldn't find any red cream soda as originally planned for this recipe - only regular cream soda. I'm not a fan of cream soda period, so I knew that just wasn't going to work (sorry! don't hate me!). I needed something ruby red to play along with the vibrant strawberries, the darker blackberries, and the bright white ice cream. Thankfully, I found a four-pack of Jones Strawberry Lime soda at the grocery store and I knew we had struck gold! I think the strawberry lime flavors worked even better with the fresh berries, made-from-scratch whipped cream, and vanilla bean ice cream. The fizzy bubbles of the soda seep through everything in the float, and create a treat you will want to serve to/with your family over and over again this summertime! Making these floats is ridiculously easy. Most of the work is the layering of the actual float. We all know layering is pretty simple, so you can even have the kids help along. First off, you start by making your own whipped cream. Skipping this step and using store-bought is fine, but I promise making your own is so simple and tasty - you'll never go back. A little secret to making the whipped cream form quickly is to use a metal whisk and a metal bowl, but to chill them before you use them. It only takes about 5 minutes of chilling to get the right starting temperature. This gives everything a head-start in the whipping department, and will make things much easier. Start with the stand mixer on low with the chilled whisk and bowl of heavy whipping cream, and slowly work your way up to a higher speed. Doing this by hand can take twice as long and but will still work out just the same. Once you reach stiff peaks (can hold the whisk straight up and the fluffy white stuff stays straight up without wilting down), pour in a little vanilla and toss in some powdered sugar. Whipped heavy cream without these two ingredients is kind of nasty. These are what brings out that creamy flavor! Next is the layering. Using tall glasses is best - that way you can see all those gorgeous layers through the side of the glass. You eat with your eyes first, after all :) Start of by adding a big heaping scoop of ice cream. Vanilla bean works best here, because the berries & soda are the star of the drink. The ice cream is mostly for texture and temperature here, because the heavy cream is taking care of most of the "cream" part. Next, layer on pile of fresh berries. Berries, in our area, are at the tail end of their season. So they're still affordable, but not dirt cheap like they were a couple weeks ago. Frozen berries would work fine here, but there's nothing like fresh berries! After layering the berries, toss on some of that beautiful whipped cream you made from scratch. (Go you!) Then repeat the layers until the glass is 3/4 full (or 1/4 empty. haah). Here comes the magic: pop open that bottle of strawberry lime red soda, and pour it over the top. Good heavens, it will change everything you knew about summertime drinks & floats during these crazy hot summer months. Enjoy! Berries & Cream Floats ingredients: 1-2 C cold heavy cream 2-4 T powdered sugar 1 t vanilla 1 C mixed berries, (chopped strawberries, blackberries, blueberries, etc) 2 pints vanilla bean ice cream 2 bottles of red cream soda or Strawberry Lime Jones Soda method: 1. Chill your metal bowl & whisk for 5 minutes before attaching them to your stand mixer. Whisk heavy cream, starting on low speed, and working up to high speed in three minutes. When cream has been whipped to stiff peaks, add vanilla and powdered sugar. Whip for 15 more seconds. 2. Set out 4-6 glasses for serving. In each glass, layer a scoop of ice cream, a couple tablespoons of berries, and prepared whipped cream. Repeat until glass is 3/4 full. Pour red soda over the layered mixture, and serve with a straw & strawberry for garnish. recipe adapted from Food Network Magazine
