It's nearly June. And as our house buying / selling situation gets no closer to resolution but infinitely more tedious and nerve-wracking and all-consuming by the day, I've decided to direct my energies (yup, all of them) to something far more fun and important: Friday's 5th birthday party.
My greatest concern is how on earth I'm going to top this beauty, the 6 layer rainbow cake I baked for last years party.

It was a surprise, lovingly (and with not too many expletives) assembled the night before her party and stashed in the guest bathroom until The Great Reveal.
I was a little concerned that a plain white (albeit very big) cake would seem a little disappointing to her, but I think her face once we cut into it says it all ... later that evening she told me that she wasn't at all concerned when she first saw it as she 'knew it would be special'. My heart.
It was a winner cake, and a fabulous Rainbow Birthday Party ... now what to do this year .... ?

DeleteRemember that cake, love it. So excited to see what you pull out of the bag for this birthday!
ReplyDeleteSorry to hear the house stuff is tedious, nerve wracking, all consuming. A good cake will definitely make it all better!
5th birthday in this house was celebrated Star Wars style...has Friday dipped her toe in the Jedi waters yet? The cake was a disaster but was rescued by some clever butter icing and lego mini figures. So if not Star Wars, how about a lego cake? There's a challenge for you!
