I heart Cake Piñata

How do I like my eggs? Umm, in a cake! LOL! There is something about cake that makes people beam with joy! I mean, cake is used for celebrating, or topping off a meal with something sweet, or, heck, even stress eating (totally guilty)! Whichever way you slice it or dice it, I love almost all types of cake (except the super rich kind from the grocery store)! On my birthday, I normally ask my mom or Andy to make me the cherry chip boxed cake mix and use canned frosting or grab something fancy from the local bakery. I know, I’m silly! But, there’s just something about that cherry chip that takes me back!

So to share my never-ending love for cake, I whipped up this fun piñata. It’s perfect for anyone who loves cake and FUN! I’ll take a giant slice of both! ;)
