Strawberry Cake
1 pkg white cake mix
1 3-ounce pkg strawberry jello
3 tbsp flour
1/4 tsp salt

1/2 cup water
4 eggs

It was a fun party and a really good reason to celebrate.

I am so glad you posted this strawberry cake recipe. Brandon LOVES strawberry cake and so do I. This sounds delicious! By the way, I made the chicken casserole for Brandon's family when they were in town. It seriously lasted like 10 minutes. The chicken salad is always a hit, and I cannot moan enough about how good the bread pudding always is. And they think Im such a good cook...hehe. Keep on posting! :-)
I think you will like the strawberry cake recipe. I'm glad everything turned out so well. It's important to start out with a good recipe, but for it to be a big hit, you have to be a good cook, which you obviously are. I'll keep posting and you keep cooking.
I am thinking that might be a fun thing to make over spring break with the kidletts. I do need to practice my fondant skills :-)
Cute! cute! cute! Your co-workers must think they won the lottery or something--working with you! I will definitely try this recipe...although the cupcakes are more practical for little hands, I will probably do the heart-shaped cake because the girls will get a kick out of it! Now that Abbe mentioned the Chicken casserole, I'm gonna go hunting it....Thanks so much, Vickie! You are such a blessing!
Dianne ;-)
