Find refreshment for your heart, home and life
No birthday is complete without a yummy dessert, right? At least in my book that’s true! For her recent birthday, my daughter suggested I make either chocolate or strawberry cake. I decided to combine those two flavors into one cake!
I went looking for a strawberry icing and came across this one that was amazing! All Sally’s recipes are delicious!

I love to enjoy it for breakfast or a snack, but don’t want it to be filled with tons of sugar or butter.
