Uh oh! She did it...

Starting a blog is NOT what I planned to do today. I planned to make a card and then get back to the sorting. The card is for a friend who came to dinner Sunday. I did dinner; she brought dessert. The dessert was so amazing that a card was in order. Besides, when we made the "3-2-1" cakes, we used ramekins that were just a tad too small. So I wanted her to see how it came out in the 1-cup Pyrex® bowl; it certainly wasn't going to stay around long enough to show her the real thing!

I'm entering the card in the Hero Arts June Challenge in the "Thinking of You" category.

Here it is (the card):

I used Hero Arts stamps, CL443 Good Thoughts,

the background stamp and the individual flower stamp.

The masked background is stamped with Hero Arts Shadow Ink

Soft Lilac-02-MEMSLI. (The purple matched the shadow in the photo.)

The flower on the front (and the one hiding my mechanics inside)

is stamped with Color Box 15025 Cranberry on pink cardstock.

The card is Neenah classic crest cover, Solar White.

About the Cake

It's simply 3 heaping tbsp of the mix (next post, or as soon as I have details) in a coffee mug, with 2 tbsp water, stirred completely. Microwave 1 min. That's IT! 3-2-1. Serve with whatever you like: raspberry coulis, whipped cream/topping, chocolate sauce, ice cream... (That's black raspberry ice cream up there.)

The cake is very light, not very sweet, and there's nothing left over to tempt you. Not even a bowl or beater to lick. My kind of dessert.
