Sydney's 6th Birthday

My first ever....layered - chocolate/chocolate cake. Per Sydney's request to have one like the ones on Pollyanna and Matilda.


After I put all of the ingredients away...I added 3 eggs, water and oil and mixed on medium for 2 minutes. :) twice. as it was a 4 layer cake.




Pictorially skipped steps : cut to level, froze (cakes are MUCH easier and less crumby to work with when they are frozen) iced, spread, spread, spread, spread,




A present was pushed in to the side of the cake and it had to be fixed....so it's not perfect. but it's my first time EVER and I was proud and Sydney was happy :)


While I was frosting it Syd came in from playing out back and said, "WOW mom ! That looks great. Thank you for making my cake mom." SUCH a thoughtful little person.



The end.

We went to Grandma Blanchards for Spaghetti, cake and icecream.

Grandma Bessie, Aunt Jo, Aunt Liz, Cousin's Matthew and Emma were there.

Syd looking at her new fairy plant and grow garden she got from her Aunt.
Her brothers ;-) picked out the perfection and operation game.
J and I loved those games when we were little. (what ? they were picked for her not for us. jeeze)
