My Mad Cake Making Skills

My sister Becky had a birthday Sunday.  We won't say how old she is, but according to Gabby, she's 21.  (Becky, you're young and gorgeous, but 21?)

Becky threw a 40th b-day party for her husband Friday, which we were unable to attend, but it started me thinking...maybe I could surprise her by showing up on her birthday.  

I contacted her husband and put a plan in action...

The only request was a sort of odd cake...

All four members of Becky's family have birthdays between mid-January and the first week of February.  Her husband told me that by the time her birthday rolls around she's always sick of cake and asks for a veggie tray...

Easy request, but kind of boring, so I got creative...

A little frosting...



And layers and layers of veggies...






And voila...cake!



Fun surprise.  Fun day... 


(And selfishly, I loved the adult time, which I don't get nearly enough of with all the traveling Tim is doing.)

Happy 21st (however old you are) birthday, Becky!
