Birthday Cake



We always had homemade birthday cakes that my daddy made us (and still do - see Boston Cream Pie in earlier post) growing-up. I remember an elaborate Mickey Mouse back in Atlanta with a Peppermint Patty nose that I still remember vividly and thought was so special because daddy made it. I always thought it was such a special thing he could do for us on our birthday so I wanted to carry on the tradition and we would make them for Claire. I am sure she will appreciate is more when she gets older. :)

This is Claire's 1st Birthday cake shortly after I finished it . . .



Claire liked to look at her cake but eating it was another story . . .



Oh, pretty . . .


Let me slam my hands into it . . .


What is this stuff on my hands ? ? ?


Quit trying to put that stuff in my mouth . . .


Maybe if I close my eyes it will go away . . .


Please take it away . . .


Trying to be more civilized with a plate isn’t going to do the trick . . .


Really, I said no thank you . . .


I think Hazel wants some . . .


Finally, some real food . . . hey wait a sec . . . what are these noodles doing here . . . so much for mac 'n cheese . . .
