We all know that
the juice from blackberries & blueberries
will make purple, and that beets
will make pink & red,
right? Well, consider this your ***TIP
if you did not know! Today's mommy challenge is this...my son,
Patrick, wants a Titanic ship cake. ***tip alert: Christina,
his sitter, presented a wonderful idea of breaking a toy ship in half
& making it "sink" into a cake! My dilemma with that?
My son will want the art on it! You know the kind...with all that refined sugar in traditional birthday cakes...yeah, the stuff that I personally eat in the closet some nights...yes I AM human too! I LOVE this stuff! SHHHHHHH! My kids can't know!!! And although I refuse the artificial stuff, I might have to give a little on sugar this time...for the sake of having a nicely decorated cake!
And shame on me for doubting my own tenacity last year, as I accomplished the impossible...I made a gluten & dairy free
chocolate cake, and the best part? It didn't taste like eating into an O-Cel-O cleaning sponge! The first gfcf cake was dubbed the "sugar daddy cake"
because why? Well, it tasted like one! The sad part? I wasn't
blogging & saving recipes so it's been misplaced! Big sad face!
Case in point...I made it
happen and I DID include my "sneaky chef" ideas to that
cake! It had no refined sugars, and it included blackbeans in the
cake part & blueberries inside the icing...and yes you are still reading a blog post about making dessert! Stay tuned as I figure
out this year's birthday cake adventure...you might learn a thing or
two!
And oh...since a
picture is worth a thousand words....by the look on Patrick's face, & Sydney's messy one, I think they liked it!
