celebration cake



In the Grob family, whenever there was a cause for celebration, it was done with a mandarine cake.  I never had the privledge of meeting Josh's Omi, though  I wish I had, she was a wonderful woman.  The glue that held them all together.  I have this idea in my head that I would have loved her.  She would have taught me so much about the way she baked for her family.  The only thing I know she really baked was the infamous mandarine cake.  I have seen this cake in many pictures from many celebrations, and while it was always decorated differently it was always made with the same three ingredients: white cake, mandarine oranges and lots of whipped cream. 

It's Josh's favourite cake. 

I started a facebook page for back to basics, initially as part of my final project in baking management.  It's been growing slowly and steadly since March, and yesterday I finally hit 100 fans.  A cause for celebration.
 

Because the cake wasn't fancy enough I made a mango frozen yogurt to go with it.  Super simple, I just blended frozen mango, added some greek yogurt and vanilla and voila. 



Josh loved the cake, which is really all that matters to me.  I love feeding him my baked goods, and I know he loves to eat them. 

Only 3 more months and I will officially be Mrs. Grob.

Life is sweet.
