Happy 60th Rita!

I made these for sweet Rita's 60th birthday.
Strawberry:

Strawberry cake
1 box white cake mix (Duncan Hines)
1 small box strawberry jello
1/2 boiling water
3/4 cup oil
4 eggs
1/2 cup fresh mashed strawberries
Boil water in microwave. Add jello. Stir until dissolved. Add rest of ingredients. Mix few minutes on medium. Bake 350 for approx. 16 min.

Strawberry frosting

1 stick butter
16 oz. powdered sugar
1/4 cup mashed strawberries
6 ounces of cream cheese

1 tsp. of vanilla.

*this frosting is a little runny so it doesn't pipe anything fancy unless you add more powdered sugar which makes it more sweet.

Chocolate:

Too much Chocolate cake from Allrecipes.com

• 1 (18.25 ounce) package devil's food cake mix
• 1 (5.9 ounce) package instant chocolate pudding mix
• 1 cup sour cream
• 1 cup vegetable oil
• 4 eggs
• 1/2 cup warm water
• 1 cup mini semisweet chocolate chips

Patti's Chocolate Frosting:

1/3 cup cocoa

1/4 cup milk

1/2 cup softened butter

1/4 tsp. salt

1 1/2 tsp. vanilla

3 1/2 cup powdered sugar

I love the polka dot table cloth Rachel used.  She bought a few yards of fabric and used it as a runner.  What a cute idea!

Chocolate letters:
traced a 60 backwards onto wax paper so when I pulled it off the opposite side was smooth.

Happy Birthday Rita!
