CAKES OF BIRTHDAYS PAST

TALEA

1

Though I don't have a picture of the cake (we were visiting Utah for Maren's wedding, so the store made it), here is the evidence that there WAS one.

2

No cake. We were visiting Utah for Tana's wedding, and Tilly wanted donuts.

3

I know. Completely boring sheet-style cake. I was lucky I made one though! Better than the previous two!

4

My second attempt at a creative cake. A semi-disaster. Just don't look at the back or the inside!

5

Just a plain cake and cheesecake. Nothing fancy here.  I didn't forget though!

6

 I made bird nest cookies for the top of the cupcakes since her birthday theme was birds.

HYATT

Booooorrrriiiingggg. But it was my first birthday cake I made (I use the term "made" loosely since it came from a box) for any of my kids!

2

Worms crawling out of the dirt. It was my first attempt at a creative cake.

3

Oops, skipped a cake altogether! Went to a play place instead. I'm pretty sure we had some kind of chocolate goodness two days later though, evidenced by this:

Maren made a guilty-pleasure oreo cake.

Flexed my creative muscles and made a dragon cake (from rice krispies).

KIERSA

Cupcakes making up a turtle. (Last minute throw-together.) Good thing I had some leftover Christmas stocking candy lying around!

PAISLI

Made the cake that was pictured on the back of the cake box. That's not cheating, is it?

 How funny! I just realized while doing this post that the cake I made for Paisli and the cake Maren made for Kiersa are the same style of cake, and they were both for the girls' first birthdays!
