This is the summer of candy celebration cakes in our household, with most of the cake making kudos going to my 20 year old daughter Maggie. The first celebration of the summer was when Maggie’s brother Sam earned a certificate from our community college in health care. Sam loves Butterfingers and voila, the Butterfinger cake entered our home and made us very happy for a day or two.
Sam’s birthday showed up on the calendar a month later and we knew he had a special place in his heart for Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups. Here’s Maggie with her peanut butter cup cake creation, before we entered into our short lived love affair with that cake. 
Showing little restraint, we devoured it in a day, although we were kind enough to share with a few folks outside the family. We do believe in moderation, we said indignantly, when asked by others for a few remaining crumbs.
And this weekend there is Father’s Day with a birthday celebration for that same Dad only a day later. We know he likes Pay Days, Milky Ways and gummy bears. Oh, our minds, our hearts, our taste buds tremble with anticipation.
What’s your favorite candy cake?

I’m curious to see what she’ll come up for “the Dad”. Despite my love for gummi bears, I’m not sure I’d like them on a cake. I’m casting my vote for Milky Way cheesecake with leftovers coming to the office please!
