Wimbledon for Two

Mr. Fizzy enjoys watching tennis and got his inner Fizzy on for Wimbledon this year.  He planned out this whole party for two.  He did the shopping and the set up.  I just baked the cake and decorated it the way he suggested.  Looks like some of my Fizziness is rubbing off.   

I bring you Wimbledon for Two, brought to you by Mr. Fizzy 

Mr. Fizzy doesn't like coloured frosting. It has nothing to do with artificial colours or dyes. He just doesn't like the look. But tennis balls are yellow, so I should tint the frosting I told him.  He then informed me that tennis balls use to be white. Sure enough, they did. 

Mimosas and strawberry shortcake breakfast as we watch the finals.  

The night before Wimbledon, Mr. Fizzy asked me where our ice cube trays were. After I showed him he proceeded to pour the orange juice in them. What are you doing? I inquired.  It's for our mimosas tomorrow. I think it will look good in the pictures. I had to smile. 

After I got all Gordon Ramsey with my whip cream plating, the light bulb went off and Mr. Fizzy grabbed the whipped cream to top the mimosas.  He was pretty pleased with the look. 

So what do you all think?  How did Mr. Fizzy do on his Wimbledon photo shoot?

Battle of the Carrot Cake

My husband's favorite cake is carrot cake.  I needed a devil's food cake mix for some cupcakes I was making and while I was picking out my cake mix in the baking aisle he spotted this:

He wanted to give it a try which meant I would be making it for him.  Now I am not a fan of carrot cake so I can't give my seal of approval on this box mix.  My husband on the other hand said it was pretty darn good. Perhaps Duncan Hines should send me a few box's for promoting their carrot cake mix ;)  wink wink

A food blogger I am not. No fancy camera, no food styling. I did attempt to take a foodie picture of the final product.  You know I had to fizzy up the frosting and not just smooth it on with a knife.

My husband ended up having 2 pieces. I'd say he'd give this box cake mix 2 thumbs up.
