There was no hesitation in Sam's voice when I asked him what kind of birthday cake he wanted this year --- the answer was of course his new favorite,
Martha's White Layer Cake with Betty's Lemon Buttercream Frosting. So while he was out all day yesterday at a company golf tournament I tied my hair back and got to work, taking pictures as I went along as I love food photos and the inspiration of everyday things. {Whet your appetite with a peek at my latest favorite food blog
La Tartine Gourmande - just amazing.} Sam was welcomed at the door with a homemade card and a homemade 'as requested' cake ... and he was very happy indeed. Sweet tooth definitely satisfied.
ps. I could have used a triple batch of the buttercream instead of just a double. It was a feat of patience to stretch it on as I did!
Single Recipe of Betty Crocker's Lemon Buttercream Frosting:
3 cups powdered sugar
1/3 cup softened butter
1/2 tsp grated lemon
2 Tbsp lemon juice

Cassie: My vote 'THE CAKE', your mother likes 'THE EGGPLANT TOWER' in the La Tartine Gormande food blog. Oh, changed our minds on you being a banker - but should enrol in the Kodak & Martha Stewart School of Foodo Journalism.

I agree with dad! your cake and photos are amazing!
Looks yummy! Aren't Williams-Sonoma spatulas the BEST?
