We had a “gathering” on Saturday: just our nearest and dearest hanging out, no big deal.
I differentiate between a party and a gathering by how hard I have to work to get ready for the event. In this case, I only made four things (and three of them were treats!), I didn’t do any extra cleaning other than the usual weekend stuff, and people brought food to share.
Karis came with Shawn and Vanessa, and Connor, ever the gentleman, let her ride in his walker. He showed her how all the fun buttons worked and even tried to push her a little.
(Vanessa and I can’t wait to display all these pictures of them at their rehearsal dinner.)
But back to the food. I rarely make cakes and when I do, they are typically the 9 x 13 type. But I decide to do a layer cake this time, just something a little more special.
Chelle isn’t a fan of malt, but the flavor isn’t prominent in the cake (disappointing to some of us) and she said it was a delicious cake. I can’t argue with her, it was quite tasty.
I loved the frosting. It was silky and unlike how I like and need it for cupcakes, it was very smooth and creamy.
I appreciated that this recipe just doctored up a cake mix. Easy is always good.
Once we had our fill of munchies, sweets, and pineapple margaritas, we ended up having a dance party in the den. Jeremy came prepared with his music and even a fancy party light. Who needs the clubs when you can push the coffee table out of the way and get your groove on without paying a cover? Another perk? No long lines in the bathroom!
I think Heather and Jennifer headed out just before we snapped this selfie, but I need to include them when I say that I am incredibly lucky to have these amazing ladies in my life. Love you girls!
