The Cake

So we made it through our first big cake decorating project. Not without lots of troubles, tests and a very late night. But... it turned out great and tasted delicious! We made the cake for the Fab 4 party (one big party for the 4 kids in our family that have February birthdays). Since no pirate party is complete with out with a treasure map and chest, that's just what we did.... made a treasure chest cake complete with treasure map, pirates and loot!

The chest is all cake decorated in fondant. Each of the kids, the rocks and the treasure map were all fondant and edible too. You could even eat the sand if you wanted!

Us when we were done decorating... ready to clean up. If you could see the clock behind us it would say 2:04. That's AM.

The Whole thing!

Birthday Pirates

Since we last wrote, Trevahn has celebrated his 7th birthday and Eliahs his 5 month birthday.

Chad and I have started practicing decorating cakes with fondant and recently made our "rough draft" cakes.

Eliahs is getting bigger every day. He is starting to sit up on his own more and is loving eating solids more than ever. He LOVES his vegetables! Trevahn is a healthy 7 year old and thoroughly enjoying being a big brother. He's discovering new ways to make Eliahs giggle every day!
