Pound cake fun



Want to know a secret? I keep a Sarah Lee pound cake in my freezer at all times. This no fail trick will allow you to celebrate a fantastic report card, unexpected promotion, or even the occasional #thishasbeenthehardestdayofmylife. (Am I the only one who thinks some days are so tough they should be celebrated simply for being survived?)

Now that spring has arrived, berries are everywhere! Whether you pick your own, or grab them at your local grocer, the great price of these beauties makes it easy to stock up. It's the perfect time to throw a few Ziplocks of your favorites in your freezer for a quick and berry shortcake.

Another option is to slice your cake into cubes, and layer with Cool Whip, bananas, and nuts for an easy and elegant looking parfait. Make it extra fancy by sauteing your nuts in a pan with butter and brown sugar to candy them. This will really bring out their flavor.



Grab a cake. I bet it won't be long before you have the perfect moment to use it!
