Taylor's Birthday

Taylor had her 6th birthday earlier this month. I think we did an awesome job because we were able to get her everything she asked for and that's always fun :). Her main requests were a scooter, a necklace, and pink gum. I had already gotten the necklace and scooter long before her birthday and gum is an easy request to fill! Poor Taylor had to wait for three weeks to go by from Kadie's birthday until it was finally her turn to open presents.

Absolutely love her face in this one.

We had a day of it making her poor cake! She wanted to help make it so early in the morning we had all the ingredients in and stirred. We decided to make it pink so we added a little bit of food coloring. I left her the bowl to stir and the next thing I knew...entire bowl had spilled down the cabinet, all over the floor, and under the fridge! Cake batter is extremely messy to clean up! Naturally we didn't have the stuff to make another one so back to the store we went. Second cake came out without a hitch, but while making our favorite frosting, I forget to add the butter. Discovered the missing butter hours later in the microwave where it was 'softening'. I couldn't figure out why the frosting wasn't working at the time. First attempt made it runny so I tried to put the cake onto a new plate and it broke, but we were able to cover the cracks. Taylor decorated it herself.
