Lemon and Raspberry Cookies

I tried a new lemon glaze reciepe.

Add a little lemon zest and a raspberry.

It was a perfect lemon sweet summer treat.

Meatboy Birthday Cake, Cookies, & More...

For my husband's birthday I thought I'd make a theme from one of his video games. I choose one of my husbands favorite games Super Meatboy. This game has everything; amazing music, difficult levels, and even a love story. Awh.

Are you like me & hooked on the music? Here is a place to download it:

Seriously Forest Funk is genius! I'd be baking and listening to Betus Blues while Andy would be on a certain level, and I would not want him to beat the level or move on because I liked the music so much. lol. (Super Meatboy composer Danny B. Hearts!)

Ok so now you know how awesome Super Meatboy is-if you didn't already.

So onto the cake!

Now I'm not much for cake decorating, but I tried my best on this two tier Meatboy cake.

The lower level was double fudge cake mixed with butter so it would be super moist. The upper tier was a red velvet cake made with butter so it was super moist. This also means...it was horrible to work with, but it was worth it for the taste.

The finale to this super moist cake...made from scratch vanilla cream cheese frosting.

My husband loved it! Which was kinda the piont so I felt great.

The cake next to some Meatboy decorations I made and the Meatboy painting I made for my husband.

He also needed Meatboy sugar cookies. Hand frosted with love!

I think my husband really enjoyed his birthday. I'm so happy!

I get a thumbs up!
