Happy 4th Birthday, Brandan!! (Siobhan)

~Happy Birthday Brandan~

Happy Birthday, Brandan!! You are the smartest, sweetest four year old I know. You are the best baking buddy, and I'm going to miss you so much when I go to Covenant this fall. I love you, Brandan, and I hope you had the best birthday ever!

To celebrate Brandan's birthday, Mom took him on a Winnie the Pooh Trail Walk. He had a lot of fun exploring the 'Hundred Acre Wood.'

While Mom and the kids were on the trail walk, I made Brandan's birthday cake! He requested a cookie dough cookie monster cake this year. I made him a fluffy vanilla cake with a milk soak, cookie dough filling, and a creamy vanilla custard buttercream. I decorated with fondant, buttercream, mini chocolate chips, and cookies!

Happy First Birthday, Baxter and Cade!! (Siobhan)

~Happy First Birthday!~

Baxter and Cade, you are one year old now!! I cannot believe how quickly this year has flown past. You are such a blessing to our family, and we cannot imagine life without you. It has been truly incredible to see your friendship from the day you were born and to watch your unique personalities develop. I love you both so much and hope you have an amazing first birthday!

To celebrate your birthday, we had a cake smash for you. You've always been our 'Thing 1' and 'Thing 2' since Mom's Dr. Seuss baby shower. We kept the theme going for the smash 😉

Converse Shoe Cake (Siobhan)

~Converse Shoe Cake~

Lydia and I made this converse shoe cake for Elim's sweet sixteen. Elim had custom designed converse shoes, so we copied the pattern of her shoe, carved out the cake and decorated it with fondant.

A big thank you to Ann from How to Cook That for the inspiration for this cake!
