A Randy Travis Christmas

Chirstmas with the in-laws was beautiful. It started out kinda bad, however. I was really looking forward to preparing something for the big meal (especially since everyone was scheduled to come, dish in hand) but we touched Port St. Lucie at 8:12, 12 minutes AFTER Publix closed. : (  However, I had that second batch of Patron cupcakes in tow and thought those would make me a few new friends. ; )

My MIL was elbow deep baking cakes for the event. She made bread pudding, lemon pound cake and everyone’s favorite….RUM CAKE! Yes, Baby! This cake is GOOD!  I grabbed my notepad b/c I promised my sister that I would get if for her this time. Anyway, she allowed me to have the recipes but doesn’t want YALL to have them, lol. It’s the one on the far left of the pic. It’s topped with chopped pecans after rum is poured over the cake. I don’t even know if she wanted the thing photographed, lol. :/ So, if you have a Rum Cake recipe please send it in. My sister just had a baby and is rapidly trying to catch up on all the lost alcohol comsumption, lol. BTW- if you look closely to the right of the pic, I endured the ENTIRE “Randy Travis Christmas” cd for NOTHING!!!
