Oh my goodness this CopyCat Starbucks Raspberry Swirl Pound Cake Recipe is hands down my new favorite love. I am not just overly excited on this one. Trust me! This stuff is THE BEST. Normally when I spoil myself with a treat at Starbucks I choose to snag a piece of Starbucks Lemon Loaf (You can see my CopyCat Starbucks Lemon Loaf Recipe here if you have yet to give it a try). Yesterday my daughter and I had to finish up her last minute Prom necessities at Target. Most trips to Target we do not make it out the door with out splurging on Starbucks. I had been busy with hair appointments and other prom errands all day and I was starving. Of course the bakery display caught my eye. Since I had already blown my budget for the day (Thanks Much Cierra, ha ha), I decided to splurged on a yummy Starbucks Raspberry Swirl Pound Cake. Oh my! Oh my! Why have I not tried a piece of this yummy pound cake in the past?

I brought home a tiny piece for my hubby to give a try as I felt the need to share with him for some reason, lol. He was in immediate heaven too! In the back of my mind I knew I had to make a copycat of this one no doubt! If I couldn’t make this slice of heaven at home, kiss my weekly budget good-bye!

I set out this morning to recreate a CopyCat Starbucks Raspberry Swirl Pound Cake Recipe. I banged it out first try. I nibbled on my small piece of Starbucks I had saved and then nibbled on my creation. I am excited to say my budget is safe for no, ha ha. At least on Starbucks that is.
Normally I would complain that the princess had me out spending on her again. If I would not have been shopping I may not have tried the Starbucks Raspberry Swirl Pound Cake. All of her splurging on last minute prom essentials was well worth it. She looked gorgeous for her Senior Prom and Mom is happy to have all the spending behind us. Isn’t she a beauty?
Mom was a bit stressed with no makeup and no time to fix up her own hair, ha ha! Oh and this will not be the last time Cierra makes an appearance. I am hoping to have her blogging with me most of the summer.
