Junah really wanted a wedding cake for her birthday. She talked about it for at least six months, reminding Aunt Jesse (our amazing birthday cake maker) often and planning exactly what she wanted. Aunt Jesse made seven cake layers (of an amazing white cake–I’m not usually in to cake, but this was good!) and the girlie got to help decorate it.
And the secret, wonderful thing about this amazing cake? Absolutely free of artificial dyes! No, that’s not Red #40 around the bottom, that’s beet extract. The other colors were derived (in my sister’s kitchen) from spinach, carrot and turmeric. Beautiful, amazing and without the nasty side-effects of dye (which are evident if Junah ingests any).
And the girlie loved it.

Since I began blogging in 2006 I've always had a hard time finding the right balance between family, blogging and all the other demands of life. That's why I'm loving Rachel Meek's ebook
Happy birthday to Junah. Love the cake. Jacinta
