What are we doing today???

Today we are really tackling it around this house. Tomorrow is my baby's 15th birthday and since she is my baker I'm the one having to make all the goodies. She requested a BBQ so I've made the salad, per request macaroni salad (see recipe below) and of course the birthday cake. She requested Grandma's Razzelberry cake again, but this year we are trying a new twist to it. We will are making it Strazzelberry. I'm changing the Raspberry ingredients to Strawberry


(see recipe for Grandma's Razzelberry Cake here).

Here are pictures of Grandma's Razzelberry Cake:










Oh, yes, Why do today what you can put off til tomorrow. I have to wrap the gift and find the birthday card.









Mean while the to-be-birthday- girl is keeping busy sewing some gauchos for camp next week.
