Eat More Cake!

Today has been packed with excitement and it's only 11:30.  I think that may be mom lingo for I'm ready for a nap!

I had one of those days when the clutter was beginning to make me crazy.  It wasn't just any clutter that got to me.  It was the spice cabinet above the stove.  These little cabinets are not really good for storage, yet that is mostly what they are used for.  I ended up taking everything out, wiping it down, throwing out old spices, and refilling the jars on the spice rack.  The duplicates ended up in the pantry.  The spices I use all the time are in the jars on the spice rack.  Believe it or not, I can actually see the back of the cabinet when I open the door.  I didn't go totally CDO (OCD in the correct, alphabetical order) and alphabetized the spices because deep down inside I knew that would never last.

Just because I didn't really have much to do today, Jacob decided he was going to take a dry erase marker and draw on his door.  He then decided to hide the marker.  I guess he thought he wouldn't be in as much trouble if I didn't have the marker.  After turning his room upside down, I finally found the marker.  Jacob used a magic eraser to clean up his door and spent some time thinking about what he did wrong.

The rest of the morning was spent with the usual cleaning and straightening.  Although, I'm pretty sure no one could tell.

**Fast forward to the afternoon**

I had the baking urge strike today.  Strawberries were on sale for 99¢.  How could I possibly resist?  The final idea was a 4,3,2,1 cake (basic cake recipe), sliced strawberries in between the layers, and a cream cheese frosting.  Yum!  There was only one problem, the heat and humidity.  Normally, I have no issues with cream cheese frosting.  It is usually stiff enough to frost on any cake.  Today, it melted right before my eyes.  Notice the big blob running down the middle of the cake.  Currently, I have the cake stuffed in the freezer to keep the frosting from sliding back off.

It sure is a pretty cake.  White frosting with the red of fresh strawberries poking through.  Cake really does make everything all better.  Enough typing, must go do some devouring!
