SUNSHINE CAKE

We LUV cake 

and especially an 

ORANGE BUNDT CAKE

 LYNN, that's HAPPIER THAN A PIG IN MUD

says she loves ANYthing with Oranges.

She told me once that 

"since oranges are so good for you, slice me a big ole piece of that cake."

That was regarding ANOTHER orange cake I made last year.

Bet you would love this cake, Mizz Lynn.

A little ROOSTER cuteness thrown in for good measure.

This turned out to be one of the prettiest cakes I've made in a long time.

My oven is all messed up with hot spots here and cold spots there

and that does NOT make for a pretty cake.

..do you love oranges as much as we do ?

It has an ORANGE GLAZE

that goes on it...

I made this one for our 

HOME FELLOWSHIP GROUP

and will put the glaze on just before we leave.

Here's the terrible thing....
I am {{{{{scared}}}}} to say that
I can't remember, for the very life of me,
which blog I stole borrowed this recipe from.
bwaaaaaa....
I am so sorry.
If anyone knows who posted this
AMAZINGLY DELICIOUS CAKE RECIPE,
please let me know.

Of course, you might know that MR. SWEET and I were just DYING

for a piece of it for our breakfast...

Can't cut two big pieces out of a cake you are taking somewhere else...(even tho I wanted to)

so we just toasted some

BANANA NUT BREAD to eat with our coffee.

When we went on our GIRLY ROAD TRIP last week,

I bought this adorable wire fruit basket at the 

CHRISTMAS TREE STORE..

Now, that store is AWESOME.

So many cute things and the prices....well,
they just blew my mind.
Daughter and I went completely NUTS..

So many cute things there.

I am hoping they will branch out to WEST TEXAS.

Amazing heavy bundt pan ...CSN 

Little WAVERLY hot pads, full of cuteness and trimmed in RED...Christmas Tree Shop
