Sunshine cake

Just call me the Wilton girl. Since making those cupcake brownie hamburgers, I’ve decided that I enjoy frosting and baking. And why not? It’s fun, makes me popular at parties and it’s a good hobby. Oh and I get so sick of the goodies by the time I am done that I don’t eat any!

This weekend it was birthday central! But I only made one of the cakes. My friend Darcy’s is 6 months older than me and to celebrate I made this cake. It was a lot of fun, but really hard. Mom helped for sure and was in charge of the sugar cookies. The whole thing was to be iced with “stars” but I eventually gave in and iced it smooth. Ultimately I think it looked better, but still.

Oh and it started with two layers and ended with one. Don’t ask…

Lilly of my Walkway

Last year Corey and I went to the Iris place near Merry meeting lake.

 

This was one of the $5 bulbs I bought that just bloomed this morning.  Isn’t it gorgeous?  I can’t wait to take another picture this afternoon when the sun is shining, but I didn’t want to miss this beauty when it was at its peak this morning. 

 

I am waiting for the one next to it to bloom, hopefully in the next couple of days.  It’s named Merry Meeting Sophie and Corey and I bought it in honor of his niece Sophie.  I’ll try to post pictures!!
