I did my celebrating on Sunday, I joined my brother and some friends for a pool party 4th of July celebration. They had plenty of meat to grill and everyone was to bring sides, so I decided to get creative! I love red velvet cake and found a recipe on pioneer woman to make a cake from SCRATCH! This is a big thing for me. In our house, Trey is the chef and I bake some - and by bake I mean buying boxed brownies and adding eggs and water. But this time I decided to make a cake and icing from scratch. It actually turned out pretty well!
Making quite a mess trying to make a cake from scratch! |
Ready to bake! |
The icing that went with this recipe is not cream cheese based (which is my favorite) but since it was going to be sitting outside for a while I figured I'd try the non-cream cheese icing on this recipe.
Part of creating the icing... mixing milk and flour together. |
Instead of the raspberries like in the recipe I put blueberries on top to make it red, white and blue!
Topped with blueberries and then cut. |
Red, white and blue! |
It got a little bit rainy in the afternoon, but mostly held off for our party giving us plenty of time to enjoy the underwater camera. I think that was probably one of my best purchases ever.
I don't know if you can tell but that is a red, white and blue Budweiser can for the 4th!
Happy Independence Day!
