Mountain Dew Cake Recipe

For my birthday I received a bundt pan. I was super excited because I wanted it for this specific recipe! I received it just in time to make this cake for my Origami Owl jewelry party! It's super easy and good!


Mountain Dew Cake
• 1 box lemon cake mix (I used Duncan Hines)
• 1 (12 oz) can Mountain Dew
• 3/4 c. Vegetable Oil
• 4 large eggs
• 2 cups powdered sugar
• 1/4 cup Mountain Dew


The recipe is super easy. Combine all ingredients and mix on medium for 2 minutes. Spray a bundt pan with non stick cooking spray. Pour the cake batter into the bundt pan and bake for 45 minutes at 350 degrees. Let cool for 10 minutes in the pan and then turn onto a cooling rack until it is completely cool.
In the meantime, to make the glaze for the cake, combine the powdered sugar and 1/4 cup of Mountain Dew until smooth. Pour over the completely cool cake. Allow the glaze time to set up and then it's ready to serve!
This was a hit at the party and the leftovers were a hit at work the next day! Even my husband said it was yummy!
Enjoy!
Until next time,
Kara

Friday Things

Blogging has been one of those things that has fallen to the wayside. Life gets busy. Anyone else with an almost two year old knows... you can't turn your back for a minute!  Anyways, I want to try to blog more often. It's a way to look back at things we have done and reflect. Time flies and you forget little things and my blog is a way to look back. So to catch up with us a little. Cassie will be 22 months this week. WHERE HAS TIME GONE? I mean we have an almost 2 year old. It's hard to think about. She is spunky, stubborn, sweet, and funny. She's talking more and more and getting louder at doing it. Our nephew has a bounce house at his birthday party and she loved it! She isn't too coordinated yet, but she will sure try to keep up with the older kids. PS. Do you see that little pony?!? I love it, but seriously if she doesn't have her hair in a pony tail it looks ridiculous. She is at the weird growth stage where she doesn't have a ton but it has a ...

Book & Movie Review- Molly's Game

Joe and I recently read the book Molly's Game. We decided we would read the book while we waited for the movie to come out on DVD. photo credit link It is hard to believe it was a true story and just not made up. I am not one who likes biographies or reading to "learn." I like a good dramatic up and down story and this fits into that category. It's an action packed book about poker, greed, and knowing who to trust.  Molly Bloom- photo credit link The book details Molly Bloom's rise to run a secret celebrity rich poker game in back rooms and fancy hotels. The book drops some big names that many will recognize from many movies we watch on the big screen. IMDb's description of the movie is, "The true story of Molly Bloom, an Olympic-class skier, who ran the world's most exclusive high-stakes poker game and became an FBI target." photo credit link I would highly recommend reading the book first, because the movie does not use names ...

Being a Mom is Hard Enough...Being a Perfect Mom is Impossible

I'll be the first to say it, being a mom is hard. I LOVE MY DAUGHTER, she is one of my two bright spots in my day (my hubby being the other). I never realized until she came along how hard tackling being a wife, mom, career, house, and life would be. I am a hard-worker and Type A personality. I like to do things well and on the first time, but there isn't enough time in the day to do it all. The expectations that have been set by society or other mom's isn't what I have to be and I need to remember that. I read an article by Simple As That , it was talking about how we need to stop letting perfectionism ruin motherhood. It really hit home. My Hubby and daughter don't care if I'm not dressed in fancy clothes with my hair in place or cook a 5 star meal for dinner, they will remember if I was present and engaged with them in whatever we are doing.  I've felt like I have blinked my eyes and my daughter's 2nd birthday is approaching. Time goes by so quick...
