Violette Lemon Baby Bundt Cakes

The hubby makes a fabulous Aviation Martini (check out link above if you're so inclined to try this, I highly recommend it!).  In honor of my baby's mad-drink-making skillz I created a dessert to go with it.  The Violette Lemon Baby Bundt Cake:

This is a standard lemon cake mix, but instead of adding water I used Buddha's Hand Vodka, Limencello, and a bit of lemon juice for added flavor.  The frosting is Creme de Violette, butter, cream cheese, and powder sugar.  A little food coloring was added to give it the beautiful lavender color.  The lemon drop candy and lime "leaves" were added for decoration.  Very tasty.  We had two dinner parties over the weekend and I made this for both occasions - it was a hit!

This morning we walked the dogs to the groomers then had brunch at a local eatery, Scrambles.  We followed that up with a little shopping at Casa Bella.  Purchased a few Holiday items for Grandma, and Mom G., as well as a couple of birthday gifts for various friends.  We had a nice walk home sans doggies.  Vacuumed then mopped the floors.  Next we shopped for groceries.  Had a late lunch/early dinner of bagels and lox with a side sliced cucumbers.    The groomers called to say the girls were ready to be picked up.  Drove to get the prettified critters and came home.  The dogs are beautiful and Karma's white again!  They even smell nice, much to their chagrin.  Did a little yard work, weeded, raked, mowed, trimmed... just glad it's done.  Now we're relaxing and enjoying Aviation martinis.  A nice way to end an active day.
