like strawberry shortcake - but not

Grant and I finally had a moment to make Tim's birthday cake - it's only a week late - I have a feeling he'll still like it. This morning we also signed the papers to sell our old house. It was a little anti-climactic seeing as we moved out over a year ago but it's very good news that we don't have a foreclosure or an empty house on our hands any more. Praise the Lord!

The Cake Boss on Rachel Ray made a strawberry short(layered)cake this week so I of course stole the idea and changed it (I'm just not that good at following directions and raspberries were on sale). I have a feeling my lemon-raspberry super-short(layered)cake will be just as fabulous!

Happy Birthday Timothy! I love you more everyday and look forward to the new chapter of non-home-ownership with you. ♥
