Yummy Strawberry Dessert!

Angel food cake is an awesome cake with fruit!  I remember my mom making the angel food cakes by scratch and when she pulled it out of the oven she turned it upside down on a coke bottle to cool!  So, of course, that is what I have to do, too!  Then I had to do a quick dessert, something I could do the night before, but I wanted it to look special and taste delicious.  I looked in several of my cookbooks and I looked at the Pinterest recipes I have saved.  There is the truffle where you cut pieces of angel food cake and layer it with pudding and fruits.  Good stuff.  But I really liked the cake roll.  It just looks elegant and special.  So take a look at my pictures and I will tell you my short cuts.
I decided for time sake to go with the cake mix. It worked really well and tasted great.
Set out two jelly roll pans, lined with wax paper and lightly sprayed with oil.  Mix the cake according to the directions on the box.  Divide the mixed cake mix between the two jelly roll pans.  Set in middle of oven.  Bake in preheated 350 oven for 15 minutes.  Take out of oven.  Flip cake onto cheesecloth that is sprinkled with powered sugar. Peel off the wax paper and then roll up the cake with the cheesecloth.  Let cool for about 30 minutes.  Unroll.  Spoon  sweetened whipping cream on cake then sprinkle chopped strawberries on top of cream.  Then roll up without the cheesecloth and sprinkle the cake with more powdered sugar.  Decorate with strawberries.  Keep refrigerated until ready to serve.

I did make my own whipped topping using whipping cream, vanilla, and sugar, but you could just buy a tub of ready made whipped topping.
TA-DA!  Served in honor of a special lady!
And TA-DA! Served in honor of the birthday girl - also a very special lady!

Happy Birthday, Love

My sweet, crazy hubby had a birthday, so, of course, I had to make him something to express to him how much I love him!  I have seen different version of "Love Notes" on Pinterest and Debbie Lanning told me about one she saw and that prompted my decision to make my "Love Note" for my Hankster. I wrote a little love note on it for him to find first thing the morning of his birthday.  And a new one each day since. I found the picture frame at Big Lots.  It is a 5x7 plastic frame. It was l.25.  I think it would look better in a pretty decorative frame out of wood, but my budget is small.  BUT I will keep my eyes open for something I like better at thrift stores and change it out once I make the find.  Then I found the scrapbook paper at Michaels for .29.  The dry erase pen was from Big Lots for 1.00.  So looks like I spent under 3.00!  I don't know if you can tell from the picture, but I wrote with a Sharpie on the paper I (heart) you beca...
