On Wednesday I went Aldi shopping for ingredients for my son's birthday cake. This has been a very busy week (which is why I am behind with posting too), because my middle son is turning five this week, which means party planning, school celebration and more. I have the feeling that there will be more guest as my middle son's party than at my oldest son's birthday party, because this time I have actually gotten several RSVPs, whereas there was none last time. This means we are in need of a bigger cake, and I have decided to make it myself this time around to put a very special touch on it. Today I made a white pirate cake with lemon zest, but I came to the conclusion that my favorite chocolate cake will be a better choice for the big party birthday cake.

Aldi sugar $2.63
1 gallon skim milk $2.89

Good luck on the cake!
ReplyDeleteI am so bummed, everytime I buy flour at the store at Oakland & 441, the bag contains weevils ... just tossed another one today (I put my flour into a big ice cream tub immediately when I get home for this reason, so I know its from the store) ... drats as they have a good price on flour, but I'm giving up for now! :(
ReplyDeleteI hope you brought it back to get money back. I have not had this happen...thankfully! I surely need a bigger fridge though, because all my baking goods find their way to the fridge.
