I also want to wish Happy  Father’s Day to this special guy:
In honor of my dad’s special day, my mom, sister and I made him a cake in the shape of a fish since he’s a man who loves the ocean, boating, scuba diving and spear fishing.
We used a box mix to make reduced-sugar yellow cake and I made chocolate cream cheese icing from scratch using this recipe from Cooking Light.
Just FYI, those three little circles above the cake are supposed to be bubbles. 🙂
I think my dad liked his special cake!
Now we’re heading out for a day on the boat to get some sun and test the new snorkel, fins and mask my mom and I bought at a scuba shop yesterday.
Catcha lata! 😀
