One year older and hopefully wiser too!!

Grant and Mackenzie's birthday's are both in March. In fact, they are exactly one week apart. I found two really cute cakes in a magazine so I thought I would give them a try.

If you know Grant, you would know that he LOVES to ride
his motorbike. So I thought this cake would be perfect for him.
And he LOVED it!!! :)






The cake I found for Mackenzie was a pink poodle. It turned out pretty cute. Some friends from town were picking up some pizza from Papa Murphy's (You all know Papa Murphy's......take and bake) for us from Idaho Falls. When they were about 20 minutes away, they called to tell me to heat the oven. So I did just that.


The only problem was that I had stuck the cake in the oven to "keep safe" until it was time to sing "happy birthday". You can see for yourself just how "safe" that cake really was! (It wasn't until our friends had pulled up to our house that I remembered about the cake.) Nobody even got to see the cake. I thought it would have been fun to have it be a surprise. I guess the surprise was that there was no cake for my baby girls 10th bday!!! I cried.....then I laughed.



So the next day, I got up and thought I would try it again. This time I decided to make a sunflower cake. My frosting was to thick so I was unable to frost the sides of the flower pedals, but it was cute and delicious!! So we invited our friends back over for cake and ice cream....take 2!




I ♥ these 4 boys!!





Happy 10th birthday Grant and Mackenzie! We are soooo blessed to have you in our family!!!!
