Cook out treats

We had a last minute cook out with some of Kevin's friends last night, I decided i'd make up some quick and easy summer time treats.

Start with a retro cake plate and cover, if you dont have one, thats what antique shops are for. This one belonged to Kevin's grandma.

Next add the angel food cake (have I lost you yet?) I didn't have time to bake one myself so I bought this one ready made for $3

Clean your strawberries ladies. Cut them into four slices per strawberry, but save 3 or 4 of the better looking ones. Smash up your sliced strawberries with a fork and sprinkle some sugar on it.

Pour your smashed strawberries into the center of the cake, put those three nice looking ones you saved on top and you're done!

For drinks I served Tom Collins and Lemon Drop Martinis from recipes that my friend Kara gave me.

Tom Collins:

1 shot of vodka, 1 tsp. sugar, 1 shot of orange juice, 1 shot of lemon Italian soda (or sparkling lemonade) splash of lemon juice.

Mix in your martini shaker with ice, garnish with a cherry or lemon slice (or both!)
