Elishas birthday and more recipes....=)

First off I'm going to ask if I am boring you with all these recipes? Am I???

I will never know unless you tell me(whoever you readers are).

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Anyways last night we had a little party get together for Elisha, he requested butterscotch cake with caramel on top(which is one of the recipes I will be posting if you're interested) and I have never even heard of a butterscotch cake, so I was like 'yay another recipe to post!' lol.

Ok well lets get started!

Here is the recipe for the butterscotch cake.

                                         Here is the cake finished, its kinda not this color though...

Its kinda in the middle of these colors...sorry I couldn't get the light right.

2 cups cake flour(I have never used cake flour before, I used regular flour to make this)
1/2 cup butter or margarine(softened)

1-1/2 cups brown sugar

1 cup milk

3 tsp baking powder

1 tsp Vanilla extract

1/2 tsp salt

2 eggs

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

• In mixing bowl put dry ingredients and mix.

• Add brown sugar, butter, 2/3c milk and vanilla, mix.
• Add egg yolk and rest of milk, mix again.
• Pour the mixture into greased cake pan.
• Bake the cake at 350F for about 20-25 minutes.

Well, what I did for the caramel icing was boil two cans of sweetened condensed milk(should of been one),

a couple tablespoons brown sugar,

a dash of salt and a tablespoon or so of butter.

Well everybody agreed that it was a very sticky cake, more like candy! lol.

So next time I make that cake, I will use less caramel icing, you should of seen the younger kids eating it,

their mouths were all stuck together from the icing and all, haha.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

We also had chocolate cupcakes with blue cream cheese frosting(Elisha's favorite color).

They were really good too,

I use my Great-grandmothers recipe for chocolate cake and a new recipe for creamcheese frosting that I've never used before, it was the best frosting I made before though, so I will be making it alot.

Later on that day, well evening, friends came over for a small celebration of Elisha turning 12!

I have 0 pictures of Elisha to show you because they were too silly and blurry, of course!

I don't really have alot of any pictures to show you, Hannah would be embarrassed to see the pictures I have of her put on here, I didn't really have my camera during the whole night, too much fun.

 Hannah, Elise and I were having fun with the cameras at first...

                                                       Trying to get the contraption to work!

                    'What do ya got in the fridge?' lol jk I think he was getting something for one of the ladies.

                                                                   Is he cute or what?
                                            

Here is the last picture I have to offer, but of course you want to see it, right?

She is soo CUTE!

Happy birthday to Elisha!

Sometimes you can be annoying and silly, but that is what I love about you,

I see how God works in you and are blessed to be able to call you my brother.

I hope the Lord works in you more and more this year that you are TWELVE!!!

-Love Carol-Anne...
