Happy Birthday!


My baby turned one and to commemorate the occasion I made her a Winnie the Pooh cake (love you, Wilton's cake pans!). 
We love Pooh Bear at our house.  Even have him on the kitchen wall (no lie...although that one is not by my choosing).  I actually made this cake for my now-15-year-old for her third birthday.  I thought it was so cute I had to make it again.  Here is me, my husband, and our four girls (at a hotel...thus the pic with the bed in the background)...we have two older boys, too...one of them was taking the pic, the other was rehearsing with his band : )

My Cute Little Panda Cake

Last week my daughter turned 13 years old.  She loves pandas, so I decided to try my hand at making her a panda cake.  I have done character cakes before, but just the ones with the ready-made pan that has the shape of the character.  This one is from a template I got off of the Betty Crocker website.  I tweaked the template a little bit and I think it turned out really cute!!!  She was so excited and it was hard for us to cut him up when it was time at her party.  Next week my baby turns 1 and I am doing a Winnie the Pooh cake (I have a Wilton pan for that one).  Hope it turns out as cute!  I will post pics!
