When I was a child, the theme in my room was Snoopy. I had a comforter, stuffed toys, lamp, knick-knacks, clothes, stool, piggy bank (snoopy bank,) etc…you name I had it! I even had a slushy maker that was Snoopy’s house, and I believe I may still have that. So my childhood Birthday memory would be the Snoopy themed cakes. The one shaped as Snoopy doing a happy dance was my most favorite.
Every Birthday, my mom would ask me, “what kind of cake do you want me to make for you?” The answer was always, banana cake!
There are wonderful memories I have of my birthdays, but the cake seems to be the best memory. I mean each toy, stuffed animal, special knick-knack, was lovely…..BUT let’s be real- cake, cake love, banana love!!!
Something about that moist, delicious cake that makes me break out in a happy dance!
While the cake was baking today, I was getting soooooo giddy! Another happy dance happened tonight!
I adapted the recipe from several different ones I looked at. So I am happy to say that for a first shot at a fun cake, creating my version of a childhood memory was successful!
Who wants to name all the main Snoopy characters? *Raises Hand*… Charlie Brown, Lucy, Linus, Sally, Peppermint Patty, Marcy, Schroeder, Woodstock, and of course Snoopy! {AND no I did not look them up!} I had them on my plate, bowl, and cup growing up, I ate off them everyday!
Okay, okay, on to cake love!
I am excited to be hosting a cake love blog hop with some beautiful food bloggers. Because of my travels yesterday, well AGAIN I am late for the party….
