Yesterday, the four of us went to Emma's birthday party! I can't believe my little princess is EIGHT years old (her actual birthday was on Friday). Where has the time gone? She asked me to make her birthday cake (after seeing Finn's cake!) and the only direction I was given is that she wanted dolphins. So, here is what I came up with:
I was pleased with the results and more importantly, Emma seemed to LOVE it. I think she told me thank you five times. I did tried something new with this cake...molded chocolate candies. I was surprised at how easy they were and how pretty they turned out. They added a lot to the overall look of the cake. This was also the first time I incorporated cookies in the cake, but they added a lot. Although they were pretty heavy and before long, they fell and took the edges of the cake with them!
Finn and Korri had a blast at the party. Signs that things are better than they used to be...I only held Korri for maybe five minutes the whole time we were there...and she didn't know anybody! I love that she makes friends fairly easily now. She always needs to know where I am, but doesn't need me to hold her constantly. Finn found some cars and was in heaven. Korri liked the three puppies that were there, too!
