I love birthdays. I seriously do. I think birthdays should be huge. I made a big deal about Chelsea's this year. Chelsea's birthday is tomorrow, but we had her party on Sunday. During the week, I became obsessed with baking Chelsea a cake - a very cool cake. I made a few practice ducks and a lot of practice icing. It turned out pretty good, I think.

I'm now wanting to try baking other types of cakes. I had a lot of fun making this one. Any ideas for cakes I should try next?
And we had a party. A rather large party. I like cooking for people and I made a lot of food. I had fun and I think everyone else did too (or at least, that's what I'm hoping!) There were lots of little kids here, lots of toys, and we had guitar hero and a wii set up in the basement for some of the adults. We also gave C a kitchen with food and plates for her birthday. Some highlights...
Chelsea was also given an AMAZING present from my dear friend Heather. Heather is so creative and made us this for C's birthday.
Yes, we did go overboard for her birthday. What can I say? I just love her to bits.
What an awesome cake!

ReplyDeleteI love FIRST birthdays - they are so special (us adults making a big fuss, the little kid having no idea what it's all about)!
ReplyDeleteVery nice cake - I totally suck at icing things.
