Devoid of inspiration and not wanting to use any of the standards (flags, bunting) for my 4th of July blog, I asked DH to take me to Lunds to photograph a cake. The light wasn't right and the snaps were really substandard. When he saw the gleam in my eye, he did a quick fade--knowing what I'd do. He didn't stick around when I asked the lovely young clerk to remove the cake from the case and let me include her in my blog. Well, Jim's making progress; he willingly stopped at the super market to get my photo, but he still draws the line when I enlist total strangers. What a guy!!
Cool idea to take a photo of the cake. Sure does look yummmy!!! :) :) Hope you have a nice 4th of July...
ReplyDeleteA cartoon-like cake! I love it! The expression on her face is priceless :).
ReplyDelete!!!! Happy 4th !!!!
yummy cake! happy 4th of july :)
ReplyDeleteI wonder if my first-born was working in the deli at the time you were photographing this at the bakery. :-)
ReplyDeleteShe is a cutie and the cake looks yummy. Ah, we can't ex[ecty everyone to understand out new passion, now can me.
ReplyDeleteA man after my own heart. It's all so... embarrassing
ReplyDeletebon fête de l'indépendance, très beau gateau
ReplyDeletegood celebrates independence, very beautiful cake
Well, the alternative could of course have been to buy the cake, bring it home, fix the perfect light... , but maybe you don't really like to taste blue cakes?
ReplyDeleteHappy 4th!!
Nice post, Kate. Happy 4th to you.

That's funny. My husband will actually say once in awhile, that would make a good photo for your blog. That cake looks like it would be hard, the icing anyway. Hope not. Did you buy the cake after taking the photo?
ReplyDeleteNice photo and the young girl looks so proud to be holding it, if a little quizzical. Happy 4th July.
ReplyDeleteha, I love the story. She girl looks like she enjoyed it too :)
ReplyDeleteKate that's a great alternative to the usual 4th pictures. The poor girl looks like she really doesn't understand what you are doing but that's ok. We bloggers are in a class by ourselves.
ReplyDeletehappy july 4th ...:)
ReplyDeleteHappy 4th July! This cake is very nice but is it good? American cakes are so far from French ones, the outside is so elaborated, I think it's hard to cut them up!
ReplyDeleteYou said you wanted to see a small town parade? Chck out my blog today... it wasn't a parade for 4th July, but a parade for CANADA DAY.... yes Canada was 140 yrs old on July 1.
ReplyDeleteMeanwhile.... what a great cake! But are you sure that BLUE icing is edible????
Looks yummy! A Happy 4th of July!
ReplyDeletePoor DH...life with you must be a blast ;-)
ReplyDeleteHappy 4th!
Mmmmm.....Lunds is always one of my favourite places to go to when we visit friends in Mpls. Looks like their bakery is sublime.
ReplyDeleteHappy 4th, Kate.
Curious blue cake. Is it real? I hope you had a nice day. I am hungry with the view and all. This summer diet is really killing me.
