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.

Sister's Birthday Gift

I just had to do Mark's idea - and he helped me - to make a gift for Nancy for her birthday. I had seen this little poem about growing up with a sister and thought it was perfect. So we went to several thrift stores looking for the perfect sized canvas picture and after only two stops - found it! This is the canvas with the letters I stuck on it and I began there in the bottom corner to paint it a dark brown. The canvas is a golden with thin trees and some words in cursive in a light brown. As you see, I was using a paint brush, but I changed to a small roller. It worked much much better. Completely painted the top and the sides of the canvas a brown color. Then I let it dry - probably about 30 minutes. Then pealed off the letters! Here is the finished product: And it's true. I did tell on her - it was for her own good. :)
