Ok so I started back on the low carb diet yesterday. My sister and her bf just got back a few minutes ago and bring cupcakes that they got from a really nice bakery in Beverly Hills. One is especially for me. Lol

---

I'm sorry, IR. I could never do a low-carb diet. I am too much of a carbaholic.

---

Yeah it is tough. It was nice of them, they didn't know. The one they got for me is mint and the other one is red velvet. I guess red velvet cake is really becoming popular.  http://www.crumbsbakeshop.com/productdetail.php?catid=1&prodid=54

I can't say that I've ever had a red velvet cake.  I really really want to go to culinary school.

I'm wondering if red velvet cakes are more of a southern thing since I've been around them all my life. My grandmother made one every Christmas and Thanksgiving, along with seven-up cake or cream cheese pound cake.

Now my AUnt always brought her butternut cake and then there was always a lane cake and a german chocolate cake. Then there were the pecan  and sweet potato pies.....

I grew up on apple pie, pumpkin pie, cheesecake, lemon cake, and pink lemonade pie.

Never heard of pink lemon aide pie. Is the lemon cake like a lemon pounhd cake?

2 lemons (3 if smaller)
2 c. powdered sugar

To cake mix, add extra egg, if needed, and lemon jell-o.  Cook as directed on box.  When the cake is still warm poke holes all over.  Spoon glaze over cake.

To make glaze: Juice the lemons and mix with the powdered sugar.



Pink lemonade pie

Eeek! j/k  Those all sound so good!

I think red velvet must be a southern thing. I remember in the movie Steel Magnolias when someone made a red velvet cake in the shape of an armadillo. That's the only time I've ever seen red velvet cake.

You could probably actually have the pink lemonade pie.  Maybe.  I don't know for sure though.  I'll shut up about food now.

It's ok, you don't have to shut up about food. The lemonade pie sounds familiar.

I know a lot of people who don't like it.  They try it and it's too tart for them.  I love it though.
