They Say It's Your Birthday!

Happy Birthday Wishes!

Always wear lively, colorful jewelry, fun and sexy shoes, wear plenty of pink and turquoise and flash that gorgeous engaging smile of yours! Know that worry is a useless emotion and that laughter is the best medicine. Rejuvenate your spirit by taking walks in your garden, for it is this quiet time that will keep you grounded.

Do not lose romance.....

 kiss in the rain, savor the sunsets on the beach and

say prayers of gratitude that you have a healthy and loving family.

~Love, Mom 

THE HAPPIEST OF BIRTHDAY'S STRAWBERRY LEMONADE CAKE

One box of strawberry cake mix

8oz. Cream Cheese, softened

1/2 packet (0.23oz.) of Kool-Aid Lemonade

Yellow food coloring

2 cups Jet-Puffed Marshmallow Creme ( gotta love this!)

8 oz. Cool Whip Topping

Fresh strawberries for garnish

Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F. Make cake according to the box directions and bake in 2- 9 inch round cake pans, 25-30 minutes. Turn finished cakes over on cake racks and allow to cool completely.

The Frosting...... Cream together the softened cream cheese, lemonade and yellow food coloring (a few drops in order to achieve a very light soft yellow) until smooth. Mix in the marshmallow creme and fold in until well blended. Then mix in Cool Whip until completely smooth. Refrigerate until cake is cooled.

Carefully slice each cake layer in half. Alternating layers of cake with layers of filling, assemble cake. End with layer of filling. Refrigerate and serve chilled, garnishing with sliced strawberries just before serving.
