I started this blog so my daughters could find all of our family favourite recipes in one place. It has actually grown into more than just the family favourites but also other recipes we've tried out in our kitchen. I don't like to fill up the post with alot of chatter. Sometimes there's a little story to tell, but usually I like to get right to the point. So this is for them, but hope you find some recipes that you like as well. I'll be sharing a lot of recipes, and along the way you'll find some crafty things and maybe some helpful hints too! Welcome!

Flip Flop Cake

It's officially summer in four days. Have you got your flip flops out yet? 
This weekend we celebrated our oldest daughter's 29th birthday followed the day after by my Mom's 92nd birthday. Flip the numbers and you've got a flip flop birthday!
But these flip flop cakes are cute for any summer get together you're planning. 

Ingredients:
1 - 2 layer cake mix
Your favourite frosting, enough for a 2 layer cake
Ribbon candy, fruit-by-the-foot or licorice
Silk flowers
Graham crumbs for sand

Bake a 13 X 9" cake. When cooled place the cake in the freezer for a couple hours. Trace a flip flop on wax paper then use the template to cut out 2 flip flops from the chilled cake. 

Note: Because of Covid19 I took some batter out before baking and made 2 cupcakes for candle blowing purposes.

Once the cakes are cut out frost them lightly (crumb coat) then chill again. Frost and decorate with candy and flowers to look like flip flips then sprinkle "sand" around to complete the look!
