The Making of a Birthday Cake…
Thursday, November 13th, 2008Saturday, November 8th was Brayton’s 3rd birthday.
All our families showed up for the party. Grandma & Grandpa Anderson, Grandma & Grandpa Loots, Grandma and Grandpa Hansen, Uncle Ryan and Maria, Aunt Audra and Uncle Matt, Uncle Dustin and Aunt Kristin and Ella. We had a great time. Colette prepared a good meal of Made Rites, cheesy corn, fruit salad and birthday cake. Afterward, Brayton got to open all his gifts and had a great time playing and celebrating his 3rd birthday.
The birthday cake, was artfully created by Colette. She went to the Urbandale Library where they have specialized cake pans you can check out. Brayton selected a dinosaur cake, after carefully considering over 100 different pans. Colette said that it came down to the dinosaur and Elmo, but in the end the dinosaur won out.
After baking the cake, Colette spent about 3 hours diligently decorating Brayton’s birthday cake and was up until well after 11pm that evening putting the finishing touches on it. I think she did an outstanding job, and it tasted pretty good too.
