Saturday,
Last Thursday was my granddaughter Makenna's first birthday. Geeze, time does fly! Dana saw a picture of birthday cake she just had to make for the occasion. It was a mama cat with two kittens. This cake was constructed out of two pound cakes baked in loaf pans. She carved out the head, body, ears, and tail for all three felines, and iced and decorated them. I was so impressed! The eyes were mini M&Ms, the whiskers were chocolate Twizzlers (yum! I'm polishing off the remains of that as I type!) and the ears were triangles cut out of pieces of Starburst candies.
Birthday girl was so excited about the cake. She is starting to say a few words....of course Dada, and dog, cat, NO, besides a whole string of jibberings that I haven't figured out yet. Makenna got a whole kitten head for herself. She seemed to prefer the orange-ish kitten, and marveled at it for a while before pinching off just a small taste of it.
Once it passed the taste test, it was hammer-time! Makenna spends a little time watching Sesame Street, and in true Cookie Monster fashion, she devoured the cake.
After a thorough power-washing, it was time for the presents.
Makenna now drives a fuel-efficient Little Tykes two-door coupe.
Books are cool....especially ones that play music, oink, moo, meow, and bark at you.
Touched by the spirit of giving, Hooch gives a warm doggie kiss.
Makenna graciously allows her dad to play with her toys.
Did somebody say CAKE?
