Stump Cake by Cari :)
Here it is, the Stump Cake! Friends provided me with photos from the internet of the kind of cake they wanted, with just a couple adjustments. They wanted a Christian cross between their initials rather than just a plus sign. I went with cheesecake filling between the layers - yum! The groom, a logger for many years, came to the cake table with his CHAINSAW! LOL! Thankfully, they chose to cut the cake with a regular knife, though. :D
For anyone wondering about the bark texture - I found a new use for my all-time favorite kitchen tool. It's the Pampered Chef "Hold'n'Slice" tool. It was *perfect* for "texturizing" the stump cake! :D
Moose Crossing At Moose Trail Acres
Ahhhh, the thrill of seeing moose at my house just never wears off for me! Yesterday morning this huge bull moose crossed out front, went down into the big "Pit Pond" just over our fence, then crossed the road. My oldest son spotted him & I ran outside with the camera (not *too* close, though).
