Grateful for Cake

1. Groom's cake!, 2. choc n pink, 3. Drum Grooms Cake, 4. More cupcakes!, 5. White and dark chocolate bow @ Amphora Bakery, 6. Cupcake Bear!, 7. Birthday Cakes, 8. Flowers bring colours... Happy Birthday!, 9. Noah's Ark Cake @ Amphora Bakery

It's the start of another birthday week in our house with the twins 5th birthday on Friday and mine the following.
My talents do not extend to the above creations.How cool are they !
I am grateful for cake, these are pretty to look at but I wonder how good they taste. I go for taste over waste!
I am grateful too for Open houses ...they force me to clean.
I am grateful for my gorgeous Sister in laws. One is minding the boys tonight while we attend the 40th birthday party of another. The other is flying down from Queensland on Thursday for the boys birthday.
She snapped up some cheap flights and we'll love seeing her again.

So, what's making you smile today?

Cake never lasts long in our place, whether it looks good or not (unless it's fruit cake with those awful cherries in it. Can't handle them). Enjoy your birthday season!

Emma same here no one eats fruit cake with glace cherries here either. Cake is goobled up quickly here - last week within 15 mins of it being baked was Orange & poppy seed - 3 sons, a friend (17) and hubby & I.

Happy Birthday to all of you.
I'm impressed with those cake decorating skills, especially the striped ribbon on the centre image and the Noah's Ark. I prefer home made for flavour though, a lot of bought cakes are tasteless fluff.

I agree , home made is good and who wants to miss licking the bowl & beaters.
I was very impressed too.

Thanks for playing with me Trish!

Hope the twins have an awesome birthday. My TEM8 [on Monday she'll be TEM9] has requested we make chocolate crackles & cupcakes tomorrow, ready to be demolished on Monday. Somehow I can't see them lasting that long lol Although I realised last night I am nearly out of self raising flour! *insert ohhhh dear! face here* But I do have sprinkles, snakes, jeally beans, freckles and.... oh bugga I can't remember the other lolly.... ready to decorate with :)

Lollies make any cake taste 100% better.
