Mother's Day and Red Velvet Cake...

I was treated to my Favorite French Toast and Orange Julius this morning. Can't go wrong with a breakfast like that. Than off we went to church. I love the Mother's Day talks. I was left feeling inspired. Than it was off to visit our Mother's.

We went and awaited the phone call from Elder Bush. In his honor we did a Red Velvet Cake Contest!

This is my Mom's cake boy doesn't it look amazing.
Here are the Contestants minus one, sorry Ambs not sure why I didn't get you.

My food coloring went pink instead of red and I was just going to drizzle a little red aka pink on top but than it came out in a blob and well you can see for yourself that I must not have one the color nor the presentation award. ha. ha.
Here are our wonderful judges! They meant business.
We were judged on our color, moisture, texture, taste and overall favorite. :)

We all used this recipe below, that Elder Bush sent home to us from one of the members in his area. It was so fun to talk to him. He is such a cool kid.
