I almost forgot to make an image of this cake (the same one that Katie and I made... I made it again while at home in Iowa), remembering only when it was almost halfway gone. But I'm happy to have remembered at all, so that I was able to include it on the kitchen windowsill, with my childhood yard in the background, and one of Grandma's roses in a vase.
Speaking of this cake. There were three pieces left of it in a tupperware container in the fridge not more than 24 hours after I first made it. I came in from swimming that afternoon and my aunt, sitting in the kitchen, said:
"You're going to hate me."
I looked at her and said, "Uh-oh. Why?"
She grimaced. "I thought that Tupperware container had the
potatoes in it. So I microwaved it for dinner..."
(Dawning comprehension.) "You.... you did what?"
"I microwaved the cake."
"For how long?"
"About five minutes."
"!!!!"
Mournfully, I approached the Tupperware container. Nothing remained but a stinky, fried mess of strawberries and gooey whipped cream.
It took me most of the night to forgive her...

that window sill looks like it was made for desserts! the light is perfection. microwaving cake is unfortunate, but that means you get to bake another one, right?
