Why Buy Friday: Cake

Why buy a boxed cake mix or a store bought cake when the following recipes are the best ever?

{ The BEST chocolate cake recipe courtesy of the Pioneer Woman.  I made this one for Ben & Dan's 2nd birthday.}

{ A simple white cake recipe from All Recipes.  This was for Andrew's birthday a few years back.}

{Look at this beautiful train cake (complete with a rock candy smoke stack) my sister made for the twins' 3rd birthday!}

{Check out these cupcake jars I made for my friend Laurie as bachelorette party favors.  I did use cake mix for these cupcakes but lots of love & time were put into these cute jars!  Here is the tutorial from my other blog!}

{Here is my Easter table setting where the BEST carrot cake made her debut this past Easter.  This recipe calls for baby food carrots & it is so moist (Does anybody really enjoy the word "moist"?) and delicious!}

Homemade is always better, especially when it comes to a birthday or a special occasion cake!  Let your friends & family know how much you really care by rolling up your sleeves and turning on that pretty Kitchen Aid mixer sitting in the corner.  No one will be disappointed!
