This is my youngest sister, Lacey, blowing out a tealight candle on her birthday in 2009.  We never remember birthday candles for some reason.  My poor nephew (her son, Owen) had to blow out a lighter on his birthday over the weekend-lol.  Also, you can see how old this pic is from the caramels in the corner–they are from one of the batches I made during my caramel-extravaganza.

Anyway, this cake is another oldie but goodie!  I also made this back in my MySpace days and never got around to posting it because I made it in the winter and wanted to wait until summer to share it.  I’m seasonal like that. (?)  Anyway, three years later and with summer about to fizzle out, I figured I’d better get on it!

I made this for Lacey’s birthday, who is a December baby along with Danielle & Dennis.  December is quite the month for celebration in my family.  Anyway, Lacey loved the Lemony Orange Cake I made for my Dad’s birthday that year, and asked for a lemon cake for her birthday too.  Everyone loved it!  This is a seriously moist, lemony cake and for our lemon-loving family, it was perfect.

Since this blog relates to Lacey, I just had to share these two photos of her that I took at Owen’s party (she is his mama, that’s why he’s so cute :)). She’s so purty. :)

She cuts her own hair and did a funky style this time, making it short on one side and long on the other.  She makes it work.  I also love her earrings–it’s hard to tell but nails and skeleton keys are hanging off them.
