Confessing

Elizabeth turned ten yesterday.  We celebrated with surprises and singing and ice cream and cake.  This cake.  In the photos it's lopsided and sloppy and I can tell you that it looked worse in person.  I could say that I slapped this thing together at the last minute.  But, I would be lying.  I spent over five hours making this cake.  It was so intense, that Beth actually thanked me for my 'investment.'  You're welcome, sweetheart.  Happy Birthday.

  1. the colours are so vivid, and I love the butterflies on top. wish I could have been there to share this happy rainbow.

    1. Me too--also, I can't take complete credit. Beth stayed up way past bedtime to make sure I added enough food colouring.

    1. I will say that all six layers were devoured--probably a good sign.
