Some people may say this post is not BLUE enuf to play with
BLUE MONDAY...
***
It's about Blackberries...and they 'look' BLUE...
Blue enough to play, I think....PURPLE is, after all, A FORM OF BLUE ! RIGHT??
SALLY has the list of lots of other, truer BLUES in Blogland...
Thanks so much for coming by to see me today...
*ALL who read my blog know that
I LOVE TINA at CHERRY HILL COTTAGE...
so much that I am constantly stalking her blog...
Well, I DO...
she just has so many cute ideas...a fabulous cottage...and...
the woman can cook !!
*
SHE posted this cake that made me dream about it
so I knew I had to make it....
I already had the wine it called for...
yep....BLACKBERRY WINE CAKE...
*
I nearly had a hissy fit at how BEAUTIFUL that batter became when I added that cup of delicious wine .....
yes...batter CAN be beautiful... and, isn't purple a form of BLUE?
*
*
and...yes...yes, i DID lick the bowl, spoon and the beaters...
i mean.....look how pretty it is !!
AND there's a tiny bit of TRUE BLUE in the background....:)
*
*
I had to go to the store and buy THIS cake some .....flowers.!! (and i don't mean cake flour !!)
*
*
I am not bragging on my silly self here but....
THIS IS ONE BEAUTIFUL CAKE....
gosh o'mighty, TINA...
thanks so much for this recipe...
NOW...ya'll need to go over to
CHERRY HILL

PICK UP THIS RECIPE...
**
and, I've just gotta mention what that cute JUSTINE
said when I mentioned I made a BLACKBERRY WINE CAKE...
"At first I wondered how you made a cake with a cell phone"!
*
it took me a good 15 minutes to figure out her line of thinking...(i'm old and i'm slow)
when it hit me....i fell outa my chair laughing...
you silly girl, Tiney!!
Ya'll need to go over and see HER blog, too...
she is one funny lady..i just love her!
*
If you can look past all the pecans and blackberries, there's some blue on those beads..:>) *
I have to say that THIS one brought Mr. Sweet to his knees....
*
I gotta admit that I had a slice the night I baked it...
and another for breakfast ...while blogging....
it's bound to be ok to have it for breakfast...remember...
fresh fruit !!!

Your cake photos are worthy of Tastespotting or Foodgawker! It is a pretty cake. Sounds yummy, too. ~ Robyn
That looks soooooo yummy! Oh my goodness, I would break my diet and have a piece of that for sure!
I had to think about what Justine said for a little while too. I still think of a Blackberry as a fruit first and not some fancy cell phone, lol.

BJ, I loved that recipe also, I will now have to rush ahead and make it after seeing yours and how pretty it is with the flowers.
I have just the thing on my blog, I am having a giveaway of a handpainted giveaway, please come by.

Oh, what a beautiful and delicious-looking cake, BJ. It looks so moist and rich, too. It made my mouth water and it's only 5:30 AM right now.
Hope your Blue Monday is a good one.
What a gorgeous cake! I have to admit I am intrigued by the recipe.
Good morning and I want a piece of that cake! I saw the recipe on her blog and can't wait to try it. Yours looks DE-licious! I'll be over for a slice shortly:) Have a blessed day!
Yum!!! Looks delicious BJ!
We buy St James Blackberry wine, for J. He loves that wine! I need to make the cake for him, sometime. This looks delicious!!
Well, that does look amazingly yummy BJ! And yes, technically it is fruit :-))
xo

Oh shucks my dear BJ...I'm to late to lick the beaters!This looks divine! I'm going to have to track this one down and try it....
Yes I too would have had to buy flowers for this....BEAUTIFUL girlfriend!
I'm on my way to your house...start a batch and save me a beater!
Now girl, you know I am sitting here drooling for a slice of that cake. I love blackberries. I have some in the refrigerator now, but I don't have any blackberry wine.
Love you.
I've tasted one of these cakes and they are so moist and yes, yours is especially pretty. My blackberries are still red, but the bushes are loaded.
Happy Twirls
Hey BJ...that cake looks wonderful.
I resent the email this morning. I don't know what happened to the first one...lost in cyber space I am sure.
Let me know if you get it.
Hi BJ,
Well it looks pretty scrumptious to me! Have a Happy Blue Monday.
Blessings,
Sandi
BJ!!!! Ooh girl, I can see why you were braggin' on that cake on Facebook. Oh my, it looks SO yummy! Even if it IS a cell phone cake. Heeheeheeeeeeeeeee
Justine :o )
That cake so inviting. Pretty flowers. Wonderful post.
Blessings.
Have a nice week.
You must be the BEST BAKER in Blogland! That looks fantastic!
I'm glad you got to see my kitchen. We just redid it a year and a half ago, never thinking we'd be moving. I loved it so. Now, the new one will have to be as gorgeous! LOL And, sure, I'll take pictures.
That is one good looking cake!! Yum! Wish I had a piece right now, love the color!!
Hugs,
Michelle
Oh, WOW... BJ, did you save a piece for me??? YUM!
Happy Blue Monday...
XO,
Sheila :-)
I think purple is blue. So for that matter is black :-). I love your cake. It looks moist and rich and I'll be trying it very soon.
Ohhhh.... that looks so yummy!! Blue, purple... it works great.
It all looks so yummy and so pretty! Save me a slice! ;)
Your cell phone story is so funny! I'm still laughing!
Thanks for sharing BJ!
Have a great week!
Tina
You do know that in some weight control programs fruits and vegetables are "Free Foods" Eat all you want, and add some cake to them, too!! :-) Sue
Mmmmm...looks so moist and yummy! I saw this recipe and was intrigued. However, if I don't quit making all these delicious recipes I see in Blogland...and do something besides sit at the computer all day looking at all the delicious recipes in Blogland, I'm going to weigh 500 pounds! Yikes!
You did a wonderful job showcasing that cake, BJ!
How beautiful!!! And even though I live in Michigan...I was born in Tennessee and am a Southern gal at heart! Blackberry picking as a child...this brings back sweet memories!
Pssst...I would have surely had myself a slice for breakfast...Mmmm.
~hugs~

I wouldn't be able to get past all of those yummy looking pecans on top. I must check out the recipe. Sally
Cake is a healthy breakfast...I've always thought so anyway! hehe Oh BJ, that cake looks absolutely delish and I just love the way you decorated it with fresh blackberries on top. I'll have to go and get the recipe and try making this cake:-) I've never bought blackberry wine so I guess it's time, right?? lol xoxo
BJ, your cake is beautiful and so delicious looking!!!! Oh, I would love a piece.
Hugs, Barb

Macey

Tina~ Cherry Hill Cottage...
Oh, My how wonderful it is! Make me one and send it to me! lol
Oh My Goodness! That cake looks and sounds so delicious. I love the way you write. I feel like I'm in the kitchen with you, listening to you talk! So fun! laurie
I bought my wine today to make the cake! Couldn't find Blackberry Wine, so I got Sweet Reds by Llano Estacado---it's made of blackberries & cherries! I can't wait to see how it comes out! Was wondering, though, what brand of white cake mix did you use? And was it a cake mix with pudding in it or just a regular white cake mix? Thanks for visiting my blog. Am loving yours! Are you from Lubbock? My husand's family lives there so it's our second home! Patti
