Ice Box Cake

ICE BOX CAKE

5 Banana

1 box of Vanilla Wafers Grounded

3/4 cup unsalted butter

1/2 cup of pecans chopped

2 eggs separated

1 cup of power sugar

1 teaspoon of vanilla (for the custard)

2 -1/2 pints of whip cream (2 cups)

Grease Pan about a 12x14 size (sheet cake pan)

1 Box of Vanilla Wafers Crushed fine (put a few cookies in a bag and using a rolling pin smash them)


Take half of the grounded cookies & flattened them into a greased pan. Make custard by creaming butter, sugar, add egg yolks and beat, add vanilla.

Beat egg whites until stiff. Fold in stiffly beaten egg whites into custard.


After custard is made layer onto cookie crumbs. Next layer chopped pecan nuts.

Place sliced banana's over nuts and lightly sprinkle with sugar. Make whipped cream (whipped cream beats better if the bowl and beaters are very cold)

Layer whip cream over banana's. Add balance of wafers over whip cream and pat down lightly.

Refrigerate over night. Then ENJOY!

CupCards To Go

Well my CupCards to go kit arrive the other day, and since I was out camping last night was the first chance I had to play with the new kit. Above are the results: first card is an easel card design, the next two I used chip board that was included in the kit.

Swap Cards

The past month I joined a new group called Just Cards, were there are challenges on making cards and swapping them out for cards in return. The above cards are what I will be swapping out this month.

The theme for the cards were Apples, Halloween and Tiles.

Building a Sukkah

Our grandsons celebrated the festival of Sukkot, commemorating God's enveloping protection of children of Israel. They built a sukkah - a hut of temporary construction, with a roof covering of raw, unfinished vegetable matter (branches, reeds, bamboo, etc.) signifying the temporality and fragily of human habitation and man-made shelter and our utter dependence upon God's protection and providence. For 7 days they camped outside however in a regular tent next to the sukkah.
