Grandma's Cake {recipe}

Hello, and welcome! If you follow me on IG you've probably already seen a photo of this cake. I made it at the last minute for my daughter's 16th birthday - we spent all day out of the house and when we returned in the evening she wanted a cake (with candles to blow) just for the four of us, and I needed to whip up something quickly.


Grandma's Cake {recipe}


This is one of my mother's old recipes, is very quick and easy to make and always turns out well. It's an old fashioned basic cake, but sometimes the simple things are the best.

The Really Crafty Link Party is still taking a break!

It's Monday again, and I'm very glad you're visiting! However, just like last week I will not be hosting the party this week either, as we are still making the most of our summer break.

I have some posts scheduled on the blog, but I'm focusing mostly on my family until the end of the month.




The Really Crafty Link Party will be back on August 31st and then you will be able to share everything that you're working on or that inspired you during these weeks.

Until then, enjoy the rest of your summer and thank you for stopping by!
