Gift shops are full of gift items from arts and crafts to jewelry, wall hangings, kitchen items and many more. We get bored selecting the same gift item and the process gets repetitive. You can try some gift baskets for a change. There are wonderful baskets available in stores and online, filled with tempting items to please all, and one such basket is a Taste of Tuscany gift basket.

This basket is visually appealing due to the green wicker hamper basket in which it is packed. The color of the basket steals the show. This basket is full of goodies like breadsticks, Italian spice bread dip mix, imported vinegar, cheese straws, pasta, focaccia crisps and chocolate bar. Unique food giftsare a smart choice as food items tend to be used and consumed. This gift is perfect for gifting during festivals as well as on other occasions. It will be loved by your relatives, friends and colleagues alike. To view this basket or order it online you can go to TheBasketSpot.com.

I usually use one of those box mixes, but when you think about it, that’s just flour, sugar and spices, so I might as well make it myself. So far I’ve always used canned frosting, but my mother-in-law just shared her favorite vanilla frosting recipe and it sounds simple enough. So I’ll give that a try as well.

Of course my next step was to decide on a particular type of cake. I went online to look for some simple cake and frosting recipes that sounded easy to make and of course would be yummy for the little birthday girl. I found some great recipes for both chocolate and yellow cake. I let the birthday girl pick and she decided she wanted a yellow cake with pink frosting. I ended up using the vanilla frosting recipe I mentioned and used a little red food coloring to turn it pink. The cake turned out very cute and both cake and frosting were more delicious than anything I’d made from a box before.  I just love it when things work out. By the way, the cake ended up being a lot cheaper too by making it from scratch.
