Foodie Friday: Celebration Cakes & Delicious Desserts

It has been a crazy month of special occasions in my life.  With 12 or more (can't keep up) family birthdays, and three anniversaries, May is a party a day for me. Today I send special birthday wishes to my sweet sister, Carole, and much love to Mr. Shop This, on our anniversary! Surely you have something to celebrate, too. 

HERE: 15 Recipes Worth Celebrating

Raspberry, Lemon Lime Birthday Cake, Sparkling Punch and Layer Cake

The perfect way to start this post. Aren't these all just happy flavors? This cake looks perfectly pretty as shown, but the frosting sounds so yummy, I think I might make more and frost the whole cake.

Coney Island Cheesecake
I have never been to Coney Island, but I just know it looks like this. Made with "Cotton Candy Whipped Cream" and sprinkles, this is one happy celebration cake. The cones? You can also scoop the cheesecake into one.

Fudgy One-Bowl Chocolate Peanut Butter Cup Pretzel Cake
This recipe had me at chocolate peanut butter ganache! The only thing I would change about this recipe, is make more of that ganache for extra drizzle.
Half Baked Harvest

Coconut Cake
This smooth buttery cake is rich with coconut milk paired with a coconut cream cheese frosting.  But wait, you'll love the tangy red raspberry filling, too. I love dressing up a cake with fresh flowers. Lovely!

What fun and how special! These basic sugar cookies are said to be incredibly easy for all ages to create. I so love a good cookie. Don't you?
