I am a Christian, trying-to-be-crunchy wife and mama of two kids (nearly 5 and nearly 3), who keep me very busy, as well as the mother of our angel baby who was born and went to be with Jesus on November 26, 2012. I also work full-time outside the home so I don't get to blog nearly as much as I would like about my children, but I do what I can!
Friday was my birthday, so I endeavored for the first time in my triple-decade-plus life to make a cake from scratch (scary, I know). I gave myself a C+ on the process, because the cake fell in the middle a bit and I had to add 12 tablespoons of powdered sugar (which the recipe did not call for) to the frosting in order to thicken it enough to ice the cake with. But, the finished product seemed to turn out well (aesthetically, at least!).
We decided to put it to a family taste test. We included Josiah in this taste test because you will recall from an earlier post that when we set his first birthday cake in front of him, he was not all that interested, what with his 102 degree fever and only two days away from being hospitalized with a nasty case of RSV. Who could blame him?? So this was the first birthday do-over for Josiah! We were hoping for a chocolatey mess, and the photos below will show you that is exactly what we got!
Out of the gate, he is MUCH more enthused about the cake this time around than he was last time!
"Yeah, buddy! I know! Triple chocolate cake! Aren't we the luckiest kids in the whole world?!? Dig in, buddy!"
Oh yeah, definitely a hit! Look at that big toothy grin in the middle of the chocolate face!
"Dear Jesus, thank you for chocolate cake!"
Shoveling it in....
And when he was full, it was just as much fun to demolish and squish the cake between chubby fingers!
And, even better, a video of how much fun he thought it was!
After our cake antics were over, they were both stripped down and went straight into the bath. Their first ever together!
That noise he makes at the very end of the video is so funny, I thought Jacob was odd for making that noise constantly. I guess its more normal than I thought. I'm always afraid he is going to choke on what he eating when he does it.
