Summer Strawberry Cake....a Guest Post

We are so happy and honored to guest post for our friend Lizzy, from That Skinny Chick Can Bake!!! 

It’s a joy to be here guest posting with my daughter Lora, from Cake Duchess.
We have known Lizzy for nearly two years and she has always been such a great friend to the both of us. She is always ready to help in any way possible. Lizzy really needs no introductions since she has so many followers and friends who frequent her amazing and delicious baking blog. I’ve often mentioned about her having little elves that help her in the kitchen baking in her little baking factory. Thank you, Lizzy, for asking Lora and I to team up for a guest post. You are a sweet friend. 





My computer has been acting up since last night, and I could not have the post up by this morning. Our friend Lizzy, who is having the time of her life in Paris.




The fabulous sponge cake was made by Lora, I only created the cream, and the strawberry decorations...in other words, my part was only the filling and the decorations; but it was a team effort, and we will get this straight, I promise.


I also forgot to mention that it's my second blogaversary, and also, I wanted to pay forward some award which came from Lizzy, and Kathy...oh, well, I will catch up as soon as I get my technical issues straightened out on my computer....never fails...just like "Murphy's Law"
Thanks for your patience, and will get things in order ASAP...

Milyen csodás csapatmunka, és a lányoddal együtt elkészítei egy ilyet, igazi ajándék, szuper ez az epres torta:) A vendég post is olyan jó ötlet és kedves dolog, a magyar blogokon ezt nem csinálják, kár:) Nagyon szép hétévégét kívánok neked Elisabeth:)

Just finished reading the guest post. Came across that blog first time.

This cake looks lovely. And the strawberry on top? Almost looks like a rose, doesn't it?! :)

Elisabeth, as I have already said on Liz's blog, this cake is breathtakingly appetising! I am even scared to think what it would become if left in my kitchen (or rather how long it would survive!).
I had no idea you had a blogging daughter (I am your recent follower, I hope it's a valid excuse). I'm thrilled to discover her culinary achievements!

Kati said...

Csodaszép ez a torta, olyan finom epres, habos, szívesen megkóstólnám:)

Lyndsey said...

I will have to check it out, the cake looks amazing!! I know what you mean and how frustrating it is with computer issues, I have to get a new computer. Ahhhhck! You are lucky to have your daughter around and have the same interests as you! Now I have to check her blog out and follow her!!!

Happy Anniversary!

Shabs said...

Oooh this cake looks gorgeous , I love this , said the same thing over Lizzy 's blog . Also a big Happy Blogeverssary dear Elisabeth :D.

Elisabeth said...

Thank you all for your good wishes, and support, your kind comments mean so much to both Lora and I. We are a 'team'...but more of a mother and daughter TEAM, not as team bloggers...only in the kitchen when we team up together to cook and bake (Lora does most of the baking) as you have seen on her blog.

As for food blogging, we both do our separate things with separate styles and the majority of the time don't even comment to each other, when we can actually do it in 'person'...and give our constructive "critique" and my TMI..(too much info)...LOL according to Lora!

Our friend Lizzy, is our 'middle person'...both Lora and I consult with her and different levels for different food subjects, but we both love and adore her just like you all DO! She is a lovely, gracious, generous, and kind hearted beautiful "skinny chick"...as is Lora. Truly blessed with 'skinny genes'

Have a wonderful Sunday to you, my friends...hugs, to all!

SKIP TO MALOU said...

happy 2nd blogversary Elisabeth. THis beautiful baking collaboration of Lora and you is a perfect centerpiece for a happy occasion: it's beautiful, vibrant and radiant, scrumptious and delightful, it inspires... makes you smile... All those describe your blogging just as well.
Happy Sunday. and oh btw, I spent almost an hour at your PInterest gawking and clicking on your pins. In fact I posted one in my fb page hihi
Thanks for being there my blogger friend... cheers!

Happy Blog Anniversary!! What an amazing recipe. I am such a sucker for strawberries and this is a keeper. Yummmm.. Thanks so much for living me with such a wonderful message on my blog too. I have not been able to catch up on reading as I was not well for the past week. Whole body was aching, and feel like I have missed out so much. I will pop over to Lora's and Lizzy too, whom both are my favourite bloggers. Have a wonderful week ahead Elisabeth.. hugggssss :D
