Cake # 85 Orange and Almond cake

Only 15 more cakes to go until I have completed my challenge of 100 cakes- one a week! This week, as the last two weeks has been as hectic as ever with trying to make It'sTulleTime my small at home business run successfully. Right now things are looking up! I am going to have 9 items of my products in a local botqiue the first week of September, and I am going to my first vendor show in Cockeysville. I just ordered my first set of business cards, and I bought my first items wholesale. (Which means I can eventually lower prices for all!)  I have also completed my 10th order and soon (hopefully sooner rather than later) I will be making an actual profit!

Currently, on the family front - Liam is getting more chunky everyday and Evie more fussy. Terrible twos are well terrible. In fact, as I am typing this she is screaming her head off that she wants bubbles - after we have told her "no" four times. Her new thing is poking people (in a rude way) when she is mad and stomping her feet. Please let this pass soon! As far as Ted and I go, we are on a diet - ( I am trying to loose my last 10 lbs gained from baby Liam, and Ted is trying to loose the weight he gained when I was preggers too!. So making a cake a week is really hard! We tried to make this week's cake with less fat (so you will certainly notice the difference in the color) we added less flour, less butter, and more orange juice.  Besides all of those ingredients the cake called for almonds, sugar, vanilla, baking powder, and oranges.

Quick pictures and then off to silence my still screaming daughter!

Evie is ... uh calling to put it politely!
