    I have made this cake several times and it always shrinks when cooling. What am I doing wrong?! It is delicious but frustrating.

    • Erin – June 27, 2018

      Sounds like you may be slightly under or over baking the cake. Bake the layers just until they spring back lightly when you tap the top. Also make sure to weigh your ingredients and measure everything carefully. Too much liquid can also can cakes to shrink or sink.

    I love the texture of the finished product! I used meyer lemons made cupcakes for my sister the taste was incredible however the additional liquid made the cupcakes sink. I will try again with the peel and the correct amount of extract. What lemon extract do you prefer? Oh thank you for the recipe I must have baked a thousand dry yellow cakes before finding this recipe; all claiming to be super moist or they wanted you to wet it with simple syrup (yuck)
    cam this recipe be used for wedding cake? does it stack well?
    I am going to make the pecan cake next thank you so much Tracey from Detroit!

    • Erin – August 10, 2018

      As far as citrus – I prefer using only the zest which imparts a true/real citrus flavor rather than extracts. The more zest you use, the stronger the flavor will become and you can use as little or as much as you want without any affect to the rise or fall of the cake. This recipe works wonderfully well for wedding and stacked cakes. I always assemble the cake frozen or partially frozen so you don’t have to be quite as gentle with it when you’re filling and stacking the layers, since it is a more moist and tender crumb. Many of the cakes here were made with this recipe –> https://threelittleblackbirds.com/cake-gallery/

Little Stella trying to decide if the cats are fri Little Stella trying to decide if the cats are friends or foe. She had a couple of not so friendly encounters with our female cats, so now she keeps a healthy distance. Our only male cat, Milo, couldn’t care less about her, but she figures if she sits like a good girl and doesn’t make direct eye contact - maybe they can be best friends. 🐱🐶
Gina of Terra Linda Farms is a new chicken mama in Gina of Terra Linda Farms is a new chicken mama in TX and used our chicken coop as the inspiration for her new build. She also wanted her cute new coop as the focal point in her logo along with some florals, berries and veggies that she grows. I loved drawing this sweet little one up, it was so close to my own heart & farm! 

What do you think of Gina’s #logo set in hand sketched with watercolor style? ✍🏻🎨

No chickens to be found in the coop this time of y No chickens to be found in the coop this time of year. They get in, quickly lay their eggs and get out to free range. The coop stays clean and I only have to pick up 💩 from the dropping boards every couple of days, which takes me about 5 minutes. So nice! 

By the way, I have a post on my blog with other tips and tricks on how to keep your coop clean as well as how to wallpaper a chicken coop, if you’re into that sorta thing 😄
It’s days like these when you just want to be ou It’s days like these when you just want to be outside all day.

But the bad part about both you and your husband being constant “doers” is that we run ourselves ragged working from sun up to sun down and then are too tired to make dinner. We just want to shower, crawl into bed and veg - not move a single muscle. We fantasize about our teenagers making us dinner and serving us in bed and sometimes they even do and it feels like we won the lottery for the night. But the other nights we lay there unable to move, hungry, and thinking why are we so tired all the time??? And duh it’s because we don’t know how to slow down. Like ever. 

We’re trying... and we may even get there. Until then, we eat sandwiches or cereal for dinner and fall asleep 10 minutes into our Netflix show, cause it’s just our life right now. 

Be easy on yourself, even if you don’t make dinner all week long, and the dishes are piling up and you’re tired and you’d rather garden than do laundry.

Slowly but surely the front yard garden is coming Slowly but surely the front yard garden is coming along for this growing season. Winter storm Uri really set things back this year and everything is about 2 weeks behind, not to mention all of our losses (herbs, citrus trees, roses, lavender, several palms, and all of my succulents including my huge aloe Vera plants 😭). But that’s what happens with storms that only come every 100 years or so, and you have no choice but to dig up the dead and replant new. 

Excited to add new cutting roses to my front yard garden as well as two new peach trees that are already producing TONS of baby peaches 🍑🌿 and the blackberries this year are going to be 🔥 they are already loaded up with blossoms and tiny blackberries and covered in busy honey bees 🐝 yay!
It’s wildflower season! 🌿🌸 After a very r It’s wildflower season! 🌿🌸

After a very rough day yesterday spent in the ER due to faulty ovaries and complications from endometriosis, I am ready to feel human again today!!Trying to get caught up on some business orders falling behind from being too ill to work, and looking forward to spending time in the garden and with my chickens this weekend. 🪴

Speaking of chickens...have you guys seen this incredible chicken GIVEAWAY that my friends and I have put together? The prizes are really fantastic and it’s going on today and tomorrow with the random winner being announced on the 11th! Head to my story to check out all of the details 🐔✨

When you already have natural Easter Eggs from you When you already have natural Easter Eggs from your Easter Eggers, hand painted eggs are a fun alternative to died eggs! 🖌

These were painted on #blowneggs so we could keep them, but you could paint on hard boiled eggs too with non-toxic paint. 

It’s a fun project! Have you ever painted eggs for Easter? 🥚🥚🥚
Only 4 more weeks to go until Ginger foals. I am k Only 4 more weeks to go until Ginger foals. I am keeping a close eye on her udders for the beginning signs that she is getting ready. I’ve noticed her getting a little more clingy, following me around and just kind of hovering and not wanting me to leave. She will stop eating her hay to come and stand by me and just hang out. This is out of the ordinary for her so I’m just going with it and spending extra time with her. 🥰

The countdown to Ginger bean has begun!
The logo that made me obsessed with this breed. 😩 #prettiestcow 
Go to her post to see the real heifer behind the drawing 🥰

March 31, 2020 - It’s been 1 year since Rona was born! 

Rona was the first British White Park born on our farm and we were OVER THE MOON with this perfect little heifer. She’s still our favorite calf in our heifer pen.🖤

Rona was the inspiration behind the “Proverbs 12:10” design - the Bible verse that has long been my motivation. 

When times get confusing. When the day is long. 
When we need to make a tough call. 

It all boils down to doing what’s right by our animals. 🖤 

(Rona is out of our cow Rose, whose set to be out first cow to calve again this year!)
Spring feels like it’s arriving ever so gently a Spring feels like it’s arriving ever so gently and slowly this year. The oak trees are taking forever to fill in and the wildflowers are just starting to pop up. Maybe I’m just more anxious for it than normal or maybe it has something to do with the deep freeze we went through, but I’m noticing things budding a little later than usual. Anyone else? 

Happy Sunday from Cooplandia 🐓🐔🐥
It doesn’t look like much now, but these are the It doesn’t look like much now, but these are the bones of our barn going up! We’ve been working hard creating and designing the barn plans and Corey has been getting his crew together and sourcing all the materials. 

But today and yesterday we FINALLY broke ground and it feels so good to get started on what feels like years worth of planning and dreaming. #soexcited #buildingabarn 💪🏻🛠🪚
So excited to start adding more live growing thing So excited to start adding more live growing things to this area now that it’s getting nice out. 

We built our pool shed and outdoor shower area back in November, so I wasn’t really able to plant anything or add live plants at the time. I envision climbing roses over the pergola and I hope I can make that happen with the partial afternoon sun we have in this space. We will see! For now, I’m just adding lots of Mediterranean plants that smell good and don’t require a lot of fuss or watering because this year I am all about saving myself a little bit of time AND stress. And finding more time to relax.... because ANXIETY! right!? 😩🥴😵

And I just so happen to be reallllly good at adding more projects onto our plate. Hello LGD doggie pen/enclosure at the same time we are building a barn AND remodeling a bathroom AND building a big bridge across our ravine. 🤯

P.S. have you seen how the cost of building materials have TRIPLED!? $$$ ouch!!
