Love Lemon? Love Cake? This is for YOU!

           

Melissa asked me for this recipe after I gave her pieces of my LEMON CAKE last week so I thought that I would share it with all of you.  It is from an old (very old) piece of newspaper (yellowed now) that I clipped from a newspaper in the summer of 1969 and I have been making it ever since.  I hope you will make it ~ it is lemon, light, lovely and sooooo easy to make!  Enjoy!

LEMON CAKE

1 package lemon flake cake mix

3 -ounce package lemon flavor gelatin

3/4 cup water

1/2 cup salad oil

4 eggs

 Lemon glaze

Empty cake mix into large bowl.  Add remaining ingredients.  Blend at low speed of electric mixer just to moisten.  Beat 3 minutes at medium speed or with a spoon until creamy.  Pour batter into a 10-inch tube pan which has been lined on bottom with paper.  Bake at 350 degrees, 50 to 55 minutes, or until cake tester inserted into center comes out clean.  Cool in pan 15 minutes.  Loosen from sides and center of tube with knife and gently remove cake.  Cool on cake rack.

To make lemon glaze, place 1 cup sifted confectioners' sugar in small bowl.  Gradually add 1 tablespoon hot water, blending well until mixture is thin enough to spread.  Add 1/8 teaspoon grated lemon rind.  Spread over top and allow to run down sides of cooled cake.  If desired, sprinkle with additional grated lemon rind.

 

Stampin' Up! Snailed It!

We used this stamp set, SNAILED IT, yesterday in my Valentine Card Class.  You can find it on page 55 in the January ~ June Mini Catalog.

This is the card we made  in class.  The cute snail on the front is part of the coordinating designer series paper.  The set is bundled with SNAIL DIES (saving you 10%) & one of the dies cut out the snail on the DSP. The same die cuts out the stamped image so you can have lots of cute snails! 

Notice the design around the edges of the cardstock?  This is a set of unique dies in the Mini ~ STITCHED WITH WHIMSY ~ on page 72.  They are very easy to miss in the catalog ~ hard to find but so usable to add a little extra design on your project.

Let me know if I can help you in any way!  I can answer your questions about our products, help you with design & materials or teach you techniques that make paper crafting easy!  We definitely love to make HAPPY MAIL!

Stampin' Up!'s Multipurpose Liquid Glue ~ a great idea!

When my friend (and fellow demonstrator) Barbara Schweiger came to STAMP CLUB on Wednesday night she also brought a great idea with her.  The picture above shows her idea on how to be sure that the glue in the Multipurpose Liquid Glue bottle is instantly ready to be used ~ no waiting for the glue to run to the opening in the bottle ~ no shaking the bottle while it gets to the right location!!  

You can find this bottle of glue on page 162 in Stampin' Up!'s annual catalog.  It is #3 and is $4.00 per bottle.  I really like it and use it often because it does not dry instantly and allows you to move your cardstock around if you are layering and trying to get those margins just right!  

Barbara bought the little plastic cups (on the right side) at the $ Store.  She used her hot glue gun to add hot glue in the bottom of the cup, added the green cap of the bottle of glue to the hot glue (made sure it was standing correctly) and added additional hot glue around the cap.  The cap holds the Multipurpose Liquid Glue upright insuring the glue is always quickly available when you need it!  Thanks, Barb!!!
