Yesterday I made the tomato soup cake. This morning it was iced.
It was a slight surprise that Luke took such and interest in decorating Nana's cake....
but once I figured out he enjoyed eating the flowers it all made sense!
"The cake was a little heavy, but the candles made it light!"
Happy Birthday, Nana!
Happy to help you with a little extra hot air!
All this celebrating can make a guy dog tired.
Today we celebrated Lorraine's birthday. I made out good in the in-law dept. when Jim proposed....and what has come along since the wedding hasn't been too bad, either.
The birthday mum isn't giving up her daughter's age!
Lorraine's signature color is orange,
A one of a kind purse for a one of a kind sister-in-law. 
And she likes Carvel ice cream cakes - yummy! 
Last week, as I prepared to make scones for the Lenten study snack, my mother asked several times, "What will you make for next week's study?" I figured she was angling for hot cross buns, which is true, but I want to wait till Holy Week (next week) to make them. I really had no idea what I wanted to make at all for this week's study. Then, yesterday, at church, the situation resolved itself when I discovered it today is the birthday of one of the regular attendees of the Monday evening study. Thanks to my Wilton cake decorating skills, a little extra heavy cream in the fridge, and the Cake Doctor Cookbook, I whipped up a batch of lemon cupcakes frosted with whip cream icing decked out for spring to celebrate Pat's birthday.
