So Mike's birthday was on April 28th (Happy Birthday Daddy!) and Ansley really wanted to do something special for him. Ty was definitely on board but decided it might be better for his sissy to take the reigns on this one. We decided we wanted to bake daddy a birthday cake and boy did we ever! It was a process but lots and lots of fun. Ansley really did every step and I let her help me do everything and she loved every minute of it. I have provided pictures to show everything she did and the finished product. Just so you know...Mike loves a chocolate cake with white icing (so we did that) and his favorite color is blue (so we picked a blue color for the decorative icing). We ended up running out of the blue mid way because Ansley got a little icing happy and I happen to have some red so we used that. I didn't think about the fact that our cake would be red, white and blue and look like a cake for the 4th of July so please forgive us for that. We also made Daddy homemade birthday cards that we wrote on and colored so that was a lot of fun too. Daddy came home and we had dinner and then had our beautiful cake. Daddy was so happy and loved his birthday cake and cards. Anyway, please enjoy...I know we did!
I'm making Daddy a cake...first I pour in the oil...
