Fourth Of July Madness

July 6, 2008 by allisonbarton

I made the cutest cake for the Fourth of July:

Not only was it very pretty, if I do say so myself, but it was delicious, too! I actually made two of them. One full sized one, pictured, and two small ones. They were a perfect way to celebrate!

Fourth of July Cake

In true American celebratory spirit, I also drank a bit too much. Yesterday morning my brain was not happy with my behavior the night before and decided to take it out on my temples and eyeballs. Becoming a Mother seems to have aged me very quickly.

In other news, Alex may be the next Schwarzenegger:

Alex takes on the weights

…or maybe not. I don’t think Arnold ever ate his weights.

    Yes, very cool cake but I have to say your photos of Alex are way cuter . :)

    That cake looks delicious…and so patriotic too!

    I love those photos of Alex. I’m always impressed by how much weight my daughter can carry. Today she picked up this HUGE Tigger stuffed animal we have that is bigger than her and walked all the way across the house with it!
