Christina!? Did you make that? It's almost too beautiful to be eaten (although I imagine I'd find a way...). I'm suddenly feeling inadequate as a mother!
Gale- he loved it and had a hard time waiting for all 24 guests to arrive so we could eat it. Zach stood guard over it until time to sing and eat.
Kristen- hold up there feeling inadequate and let me explain! Although there was a time when I would have made (or tried to make) this myself and obsessed over every detail, I've grown up a bit. I have a favorite bakery lady at my near-by grocery store. I explained that I wanted a white on white cake and the icing needed to be fun and scroll-y. She did a great job. I did the 7 and added the M&M's. We ate the entire cake and it was delicious, butter cream frosting:)
Happy Birthday to Zach, that's an amazing cake there. I loved your remark in your last post, "My how I've grown." Isn't that the truth, how our children expand our world.
Mmmmmm. This cake sums u up! Creative, practical, and FUN! Why waste time making a cake these days when u can buy this and still get credit making it personal. Please post a photo of the green cupcake snake u designed for us too! U r my inspiration! By the way, I should b asleep but ur blog is too hard to stop reading!
Action Andy- husband, father of two, biggest kid in the neighborhood (Can Mr. Andy come out and play baseball with us?)
Christina- me, wife, mother of the same two, sees the story in everything and is overwhelmed trying to write it all down.
Jacob a.k.a. Jake- first born, second grade, 8 years old, all-American boy. He likes baseball, Legos, Star Wars and trains.
Zachary a.k.a Zach or Bebe- the caboose on this family's train, first grade, age 7, our different dolphin. He likes Kit Kats, Crispix, slides, swings and swimming.
I love it! Can't wait to hear what Zach thinks.
