Happy Birthday Daddy! |
Several years ago I took
some cake decorating classes with a friend from work. It was
fun, and I learned some
great tips. I have since made a
lot of fun cakes for birthdays, holidays, church picnics, and
random days of the week. Don't get me wrong, you are
not going to see me on the Food Network anywhere but in
my dreams, Halloween, or on April Fools Day. That said, I like to make my family
feel special by making them cakes on their birthday.

Made these for a MOPS cake walk. |
A long time ago, I learned that
My Vet only feels
special when I make a cake from a
box, with canned frosting. To make it more festive, I
get to
go crazy and use
funfetti cake and frosting. I always
struggle with the fact it
isn't complicated enough. Then I am reminded that
I'm the
complicated one,
not him.

When we were
first married I asked My Vet if he had
any idea where a particular dish was, his
response was "I put it in the tupperware cabinet. Since tupperware has fitted lids, and it has a fitted lid. I figured that is where you would put it." (It was actually french white, oven safe, glassware and so it went in another cabinet. I could understand his thought process though, and
loved that he noticed I had a system, and
tried to figure it out.")
If
I can be complicated on
my birthday by requesting cheese cake, ice cream cake, or pie, my Vet
should get to be straight forward and
get a simple frosted cake. I should also be
thankful that I get the
easier birthday celebration to
plan.
