Party Girl

We had a little party for the party girl on Saturday. Just family, like we usually do for birthday #1.



Oh my goodness, the cake was so good. I used this recipe from Bakerella. Semi-homemade, just my style. I made the frosting from the recipe, too. I discovered that the reason I never really like the buttercream frosting I make is because I wasn't using enough BUTTER!! Yummm, it was so good!



Grace and Elliot really wanted to get party hats, so we did. Everyone loved them, except Naomi :)





The first touch...



Sweet baby girl...


And that was that! She didn't get too messy. She dropped most of her cake on the floor for Max to eat :)

Happy Birthday Naomi!

Cute! I think that Maggie surely wins the messiest birthday cake eating contest. Naomi ain't got nothing on her!

That cake looks super-yummy! I went to visit an aunt one summer (1989) and she was going to make a "sprite cake" and did not have sprite... I have often wondered how it would have been. Now you have provided me with a tried and true recipe.

I LOVE Bakerella! I made her butterscotch brownie/ganache/ultra-yummy cake for New Year's Eve the night before the great sugar fasting... sigh, it was divine.

I hope your week is great.
