The grandgirls were just arriving the other day as I was typing that last post, and I dropped everything here to run answer the door - completely forgetting about telling you where I found that fun cake - doh! It finally dawned on me, I ought to come back here and give you the scoop -
There's a wonderful bakery here in our town, where I took the photo of that cake and where many more delightful, and delicious Dough'Lectibles can be found (though zero calories were consumed in the making of that previous post - that's one of the really good things about this virtual world - you can have all the eye candy you want, without consuming all the calories :)
It's too hot for baking at our house, this time of year, anyway - let alone lighting candles! So thank goodness for photos still in the stash.
We're too busy doing whatever it takes to stay cool - which mostly seems to involve either dripping popsicles all over or having root beer floats that foam all over -- followed by running through sprinklers. Then there's also floating in the tub, pretending we're mermaids, too...
Though we have also been doing a lot of walking - but only in the early morning and early evening, when it feels cooler outside, than it does in.
Have to do something to wear off all those root beer floats we've been indulging in...
Though I'd rather not be doing much cooking this time of year, I wouldn't mind the heat in the kitchen as much, if we cooked up as much fun as this video, that's really cookin'.*
Hope you're having a cool summer~
*found by way of VSL, which seems to always feature cool stuff
**I came back and edited this AGAIN, because I realized, I still wasn't making much sense in getting across that a/I didn't make the cake and b/we didn't BUY the cake, either...and c) maybe I need to take a little blogging break, till it either cools down or I can type straight again - whichever comes first -- hopefully, one of those situations will occur in the near future...
We have so many family birthdays in summertime. It is wonderful to have a good bakery nearby!
Loved Western Spaghetti.
:-)

Thank goodness most of our family birthdays are in the fall when it's cooler. Love that video!! Spaghetti never looked so good!
We've been a little cooler than usual but I think that's changing today. We're expecting 102ยบ so I'll be inside in the a/c!

I think going to a fabulous bakery just to "look" is like visiting an edible art gallery. I love watching ACe of Cakes for that reason.
oh yes, summer is WAY too hot to be baking...see that's where a good bakery really comes in handy! (and for photo ops too)
Stay cool!!
XOXOXO
