Birthday month! Four of us (including myself, my daughter and stepdaughter) are celebrating with a family party today...grilled roast beast, pulled BBQ chicken (a crock pot fave that is super simple!), roasted veggies, fresh fruit, and hot dogs (and of course mac and cheese for veggie boy)...and for dessert, (teenager approved) Chocolate Cupcakes with Mocha Buttercream Frosting (1T. instant coffee dissolved in 1/4 c. hot water, 1/2 c. softened butter, 3/4 t. vanilla, 2 T. cocoa and about 4 c. powdered sugar...add more or less to taste/consisteny...and just Devil's Food Cupcakes)... and a
Pig Pickin Cake!
Pig pickin cake is a delightful dump of mandarin oranges, yellow cake mix, Cool Whip, crushed pineapple and vanilla pudding mix. Gonna be a question of what to eat first! (last time I served this cake at a family party it was the first time not one crumb was left of a cake. so maybe I should start there?)
