James & Ryan threw their 4th Annual Groundhog day party yesterday. It was the 3rd that I've personally attended. They crack me up... Who honestly celebrates Groundhogs Day?! The tradition, as I understand it to be, is that they have a big BBQ on Feb. 2nd and wear swim trunks or shorts and flip-flops outside in the snow. The hope is that maybe the spring will come a little sooner if they give it a little encouragement, regardless if the Groundhog sees his shadow or not. (which by the way he did see it...which should mean a longer winter...so scientifically driven!) This year I surprised James by making him this Groundhog cake for his party while he was at school. Pretty funny, eh! I walked around the grocery store looking for anything that looked like a ground hog & the apple fritter cried out to me! So now you know, if you are in need of a groundhog cake next year, I can help you out. :) It only cost 4 bucks to make! I hope your Groundhog Day was all that you dreamed and more! Be sure to come by next year if you're in the area...we'd love to celebrate with you.

Who knew people celebrated groundhog's day outside of Puxatawny? Great cake. I think you should submit it to a cooking blog. Who wouldn't want to know how to make one?
I guess you could put it on your own cooking blog cause it's cheap . . . but probably not guilt free:)
Matthew was telling me about the James and Ryan Groundhog Day barbecues the other day. I love it!
I found your blog through your Facebook page, and I'm so glad you linked it! Baby Mary Kate is darling. We miss you guys!
That is just too funny! I love the cake!
I wanted to come but I was in Canada for work. So fun!!! That cake is awesome!
