Happy Birthday Landon!

The past 2 days have been a whirlwind of celebrations over here in the Wood house.  It was our anniversary on the 20th (yippee to 3 years!) & it was Landon's 28th birthday (an extra yippee!) Unfortunately he had an exam yesterday and another one today (what the heck, perfect timing school?!) So we had a small celebration and are saving the blast of a party for next week when he gets a break for Thanksgiving.  So I decorated up our dining room and kitchen full of streamers, balloons, banners and lights so that next week it will still feel like his birthday when we have the real celebration.

So as you can see, I made this cake yesterday for his birthday! Although I know it's not necessarily seasonal, we didn't feel like heavy chocolate and well CA is still hot and strawberries are still a growin.  So beneath the layers of strawberries is a fluffy angel food cake.
And I'll be real here, I don't always have the time to make everything from scratch, I have a real life too! I just made it from a box, but Angel Food cake is so finicky that you have to read all the directions!

Here's a link to a good Angel Food Cake recipe.
And I used whipped cream/Cool Whip if you want it super easy to frost the cake.

And because it was Landon's birthday here's a really cutie picture of him.
