Soccer season pushes me to my limits, so when I suggested a box cake, he requested a homemade cake baked in the castle-shaped Bundt pan with Lego knights defending the turrets. It looked great, and he loved it. Of course!<br /><br />Does your son quilt?Lynn K.noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37018101.post-79749020870934327042012-09-08T22:42:49.066-05:002012-09-08T22:42:49.066-05:00I love this post?...made me smile.

I love the orange and gray together and will have to try that myself! My son's room is painted two different shades of orange. <br /><br />P.S.: A KitchenAid Standmixer need not sit idle of you're eating healthy. :) It can be used for lots of other things besides cakes and cookies. I use mine for homemade pizza crust, breads, mashed potatoes, and so much more.
