Happy Birthday, Preston!

Preston C. turned 2 in April, and celebrated with a Baseball themed birthday party.  His Mom and Dad asked me to make Preston and his friends a really awesome cake, so I did my best!

The cake was chocolate, with peanut butter filling and chocolate frosting.  The baseball was leftover cake scraps I mushed up with lots of frosting and shaped into a baseball.

I added grass with a cool new tip I bought... works well for making hairy monster faces, too!

In case not everyone wanted chocolate/ peanut butter cake, I made some yellow cupcakes with chocolate filling and baseballs on top.

Happy Birthday, Little Man!  Thanks for letting me come play with you!

Catching Up from April

Madelyn helped her brother Preston blow out the 2 candles on his baseball birthday cake!  More pictures to come of that later....

My parents celebrated 29 years of marriage in April.  This cake was yellow butter with Mexican vanilla frosting.  As my first attempt at basket-weave, I think I did pretty well!  My roses are coming along nicely too.  Helps to finally figure out the right consistency for frosting.
