first of all - even though the book is a cupcake cook book, this recipe was for a cake. it's called raspberry lemon mouse cake. it started with a lemon cake mix and called for a few additions of buttermilk and lemon zest. side note - i now have a carton of buttermilk, any ideas of what i might do with it?? it also called for raspberry pie filling and all i could find were small cans and they were expensive, so i went with a strawberry pie filling instead. the frosting, oh the gosh darn frosting - this is where this cookbook ALWAYS leads me astray. it NEVER turns out how they say it will. i added some white sugar to mine because it just wasn't getting thick and i still only ended up with a tiny bit and it was sort of bland, so i only put it on the top rather than the whole cake and to make it a little sweeter i put some extra strawberry filling in the middle of the cake. here is how it turned out...
bub and i went to see harry potter last night. oh my goodness - it was so much better than i thought it would be! the whole movie from beginning to end had me on the edge of my seat. it's so sad that this is the end of it all, but what a great way to go out!
tonight the hubs is off on a work trip and the babes is asleep. i've finished listening to my lecture notes, so you know what that means! i'm snuggled up on the couch watching terrible, awful, no good for me tv - teen mom! i've got to say this and i'm sorry to offend anyone - but what is the deal with these kids and their beds. it's always the same - no sheets! WTF??? how do you just sleep on a mattress? you can pick up a decent, cheap set at walmart or target for like nothing. put some sheets on your bed. seriously. it just looks so skanky to be on a bed with nothing on it.

First off - the cake looks AMAZING!!!! I would so be pigging out with you chowing down on that one. Secondly - I agree about the sheets. Why?
What an amazing looking cake!
BTW, No need to buy buttermilk when you need it. Just put 1 Tbsp vinegar or lemon juice in a cup of milk and let sit for 10 minutes or so.
miss c - i would have loved some cake eating company :-) can we arrange that?
miss d - THANK YOU! i had no idea you could make your own buttermilk!!
I always think that about the sheets too! BUT, my fav was when Tyler and whats-her-face were moving and they moved their mattress with the sheet STILL ON! WTH?!
