Whole Wheat Honey Berry Shortcake & Our Precious Birthday Girl!

Today is someone's birthday.  Our little someone turned two and we are so blessed that she is ours!  To celebrate her special day I wanted to bake my sweetie angel girl something that would be good for her.  It was also important to serve her favorite foods which include berries, pineapple, cantaloupe & filet mignon.  I'd been craving raspberry filling and strawberry shortcake.  Heavenly Homemakers had the perfect Healthy Shortcake recipe made with honey & whole wheat flour.  I couldn't be more pleased with the delicious results.  In fact, I must buy a cake plate to serve it on as this will be a new favorite dessert in our house.


Kalee's big day started yesterday for us.  Her big brother assembled her new kitchen & hid it in his room.  Daddy came in to see if there was anything he could do to help.

Last night I carefully made the healthy pound cake.  I quadrupled the recipe and had a little extra that I baked in a little round pan.   We all waited hoping that it'd stick so we could try it and it did! :D                                                                                         
I asked for raspberries & was excited to have gotten 3 types of berries to decorate with
