Spring is in the Air

I haven't been able to do much in the way of cakes since we've moved here. The past 8 weeks have been crazy anyway, due to the cutest newest addition to our lives. But this week the youth group that my husband pastor's at, held a bake sale/Cake auction. Our kitchen turned into a mini bakery, with tons of cupcakes, cookies, brownies and cakes being made. It smelt heavenly, but I feel a major sugar rush from all the taste testing. I was able to make a cake for the auction in my spare time lol IT was quite the busy week let me tell you, but I enjoyed it.
Since the weather here has been beautiful I wanted to do a spring cake. I found a few pictures on line that I really liked, so I took parts from each and made my own creation.
I made a red velvet from scratch using a different recipe then normal and it turned out really well. It had a few extra tedious steps but worth it in the end.
Hope the winners enjoyed it!!

I have never tried making a cake from scratch. I bet yours was delicious.
Red velvet is my SIL's favorite but I always cheat and use a box mix:)
