Hard to believe I have not only one, but TWO five-year olds! Well, only for another month and 5 days.... :) Then Rea will turn 6!
Yesterday was Ni'ke's birthday, and birthday season is officially upon us! I just have to reflect again on how much I love birthdays! Not just mine, but everyone's! It's so fun to know that there's a special day set aside just for you every year that's a little bit cooler than any other day. The day just feels more festive and exciting!
So given all the festive and exciting energy in the house, the girls were awake bright and early in the morning to make Ni'ke's birthday crown, something that I'm seeing will be a Smith family tradition very quickly! Ni'ke placed her order for her birthday breakfast, sausage and pancakes with strawberries and whipped cream! Yummy, and excellent choice!
So about the little Ni'ke replica cake... This was the funnest cake I've ever made, and it was actually probably the easiest! It's also dear to my heart, because when I was 3 or 4 years old, my Aunt Doris made me a cake like this for my birthday, and I never forgot it. I thought it was the most awesome thing ever, and I've always wanted to do one for the girls. So when Ni'ke told me THREE MONTHS ago that she wanted a Barbie cake for her birthday this year, I saw my chance! Don't know why I never thought to make one sooner... Probably because I didn't have a bundt cake pan and had to go buy one this weekend before proceeding with the cake construction!
She really liked it, and didn't even mind that there was frosting in her new doll's hair! Happy birthday, sweet girl! I love you soooooo so much!
