Another Garnished Cake

This is a real simple 6", 2-layer yellow cake.
It has cream cheese icing with a raspberry filling,
Around the outside are broken pralines and a ribbon, topped with a wild rose.
Olivia made this for a tea she hosted.

Simple, Light and Delicious!

You will need:
1 lemon cake mix
whipping cream
lemon INSTANT pudding mix
fresh, washed strawberries
optional a little sugar
fresh pansies, mint leaves

Whip up whipping cream on high until almost finished
(thick and peaks beginning to form).
Whip in one package of instant pudding.
You can add a little sugar if you'd like it sweeter.
Whip for about a minute. Do not over mix.

I baked a 9x13 sheet cake, cut it in half long-ways.
Made a well to hold the filling in.

Added some strawberry jam.

Be sure to stack the cake so it will be level and not lopsided.

Spread the yummy cream icing.
Garnish with sliced strawberries, mint leaves and pansies.

Easy Lemon Cake w/Pansies

This cake was made with a yellow box mix. I added about 1-2 tsp of lemon flavoring, baked it in a bunt pan. Pan must be greased and floured.

Mix a small amount of milk, 10X sugar and lemon flavoring to make a glaze, drizzled it over the cake after it is cooled. The key is not to make the glaze too thin, it takes a VERY small amount of milk (or water) to do the job.

Garnished with pansies and mint from the front porch.

SIMPLE, EASY, BEAUTIFUL!
