I was writing a round up of 4th of July garden recipes elsewhere when I found that awesome kid treat… Corncob cake via Family Fun This Corn on the Cobcake is WAY too adorable, and although it’s not organic, you could totally switch it up with some intelligent organic thinking.

Oscar Garcia, 18, who was...
