Dear Sis,
Our family is loaded with September birthdays! Today we were able to celebrate three of them… Grandpa Carmin, Great Aunt Lucy, and Cousin Roman. William passed out presents and we had Grandpa Carmin’s favorite cake, Cherry Chip Cake with Marshmallow Frosting and Coconut Flakes.
William and Roman really enjoyed their time together. Roman was such a great big cousin… looking out for our little guy:)
Carmin’s Favorite Cake
Betty Crocker makes a Cherry Chip box cake mix. I haven’t tried to buy it in a decade. In that time, it is no longer a standard stock item. I had to order a case of 12 boxes just to get one!
Our oven at home is broken, so we were planning to do our baking at Grandpa Carmin’s house. As it turns out, his oven doesn’t work either! So we put plastic over our cake pans, took them to Old Economy Village, and baked them there while we had lunch with Sarah.
I made Aunt Cil’s Marshmallow Frosting, during nap time. Poor sleepy William slept until 5, so we were late for our dinner visit with cousin Lea and family.

I made the cake and icing last night. Very good and not to sweet. I made it in a 9 by 13 and maybe used half the icing? Way to much icing. Use just enough to make it look covered and the coconut stick. Yummy!
Stacking two round cakes takes much more frosting:) The batch is perfect for that.
Hello.This post was really interesting, particularly since I was browsing for thoughts on this topic last Sunday.
Have you ever thought about creating an ebook or guest authoring on other sites? I have a blog based upon on the same subjects you discuss and would love to have you share some stories/information. I know my audience would enjoy your work. If you are even remotely interested, feel free to shoot me an e mail.
Some times its a pain in the ass to read what website owners wrote but this internet site is rattling user friendly! .
Some genuinely grand work on behalf of the owner of this website , utterly great subject material.
Hello there! This is kind of off topic but I need some advice from an established blog. Is it difficult to set up your own blog? I’m not very techincal but I can figure things out pretty quick. I’m thinking about creating my own but I’m not sure where to begin. Do you have any ideas or suggestions? Cheers
When I originally commented I clicked the -Notify me when new comments are added- checkbox and now every time a comment is added I get 4 emails with the identical comment. Is there any approach you’ll be able to remove me from that service? Thanks!
