Alternately titled: I am exhausted
Thursday I picked about 3 + lbs of basil and spent all night trimming leaves and making pesto. Friday we picked 85 lbs of peaches and I spent the day and late into the night canning 14 qts of sliced peaches. Saturday I baked and decorated 3 cakes. Today was the party, which included making the house and yard presentable,making peach ice cream and all the festivities. And I just finished peeling and seeding 7 more qts of peaches which are in the canner as I type.
But on to the real subject....BIRTHDAYS!
Here is Cale's turtle [peanut butter] cake
Rylan's pickup truck [yellow] cake

And Cohen's Chinese Dragon [chocolate] cake
That dragon was a tough one, it took forever to get the face to look how I sort of wanted it. Finally I left it alone and moved on to the next 2 cakes....and I liked it much better once I had a break from staring at it.
Today we had a small party for the birthday boys...
with friends...
And games...
and cake...
and presents...
One more birthday post to go. Paul's off for a whole week. And Wednesday we head up for a few days in Cincinnati and all sorts of fun stuff- which is our present to the boys'.
Those are quite the cakes! Good work!
ReplyDeleteWow, I don't know how you found the time to decorate three cakes. You did a great job. I loved the turtle best!
ReplyDeleteYou made me feel tired just reading your post...I wish I had your energy level.
