We left Little Rock on Saturday morning to drive to Dallas to have a little visit with my parents. It was my mom's birthday as well as Alexandra's, so she wanted to bake a birthday cake. She wanted to make this winter white cake...and it did not turn out like the picture...at all! For some reason, the chocolate filling in the middle didn't set right and it started oozing out and the frosting was hard to spread, so it was quite a mess. But then mom thinned the frosting and I used a big cake spatula to spread the frosting and we also used flowers to decorate. It actually ended up being really pretty!
Nathan and Charlotte always love entertaining Pearce!
Auntie Ashy and her 3rd baby :)
The birthday girls!
The cake...it really turned out pretty...Nathan did such a good job with the candles :)
Reading Daddy's card....
Realizing what he got her...
Mom is soooooo excited....Daddy is thinking, "I can't believe I spent that much money."
So....what did he get her? Two tickets to see Andrea Bocelli at the American Airlines Center. SO JEALOUS!!! They went last night and mom said it was just amazing!
What a lousy cake, but Carrie made it pretty. Who cares, we had so much fun...and I have to say seeing Andrea was really "the icing on the cake." Plus Daddy took me to a lovely restaurant for dinner.$$$ Alexandra is 16 years old and so darling. Next year we can celebrate with a bakery cake, and just Alexandra's BD I'll just stay this age. Love, Mama
ReplyDeleteWhat a terrific birthday!! I am jealous! And we would never have known about the cake if Carrie hadn't "documented" it. LOL
ReplyDeleteAlexandra is so-o-o grown up, and beautiful, too!
