| My parents on their Wedding Day |
It’s
National Parents Day. So if you still
have your parents, be good to them today.
Or if you’re like me and your parents have passed on, enjoy beautiful
memories today.
I
have so many special wonderful memories of both my parents to look back
on. One of the best is how they loved
birthdays. Theirs or anyone elses. A party -- dinner at their favorite
restaurant, then back home for cake, ice cream and presents!
As
I grew older, I always made the birthday cakes.
And this one is the
favorite cake of my family. For birthdays, holidays and any special occasion.
If you've ever had a "Miss Grace Lemon Cake", this is exactly like
it.
