Foodie Friday: Celebrate With Cake!

As a child, there was always a cake in the house. And if it was a holiday or birthday, the cake would be extra special. So baking AND eating cake is  one of my guilty pleasures. Mother's Day starts a season of celebrations. Graduations, Memorial Day, weddings, bridal showers, and more, hopefully you have many celebrations ahead.  I say, if you are entertaining, let them eat cake!
