The Cake

That's a mighty big piece of cake

Happy Baby

If there is one thing we know how to do at our house, it is stretching a birthday out. We had Maren's birthday cake on Sunday. We invited both sets of grandparents and all of the aunts and uncles. We had a small group, but it was lots of fun. Maren got a new ride on toy, a shape sorter and some money so we can get her pictures taken. I had a good time making the cake. It was a 3 day process, but it was fun. Maren loves shoes, especially eating them, so we decided that she needed a shoe cake. I found a template online and learned how to make gum paste. I'm not very artsy or creative, but I managed to dig up a little craftiness for the cake.
